Scrapbooking

Last Saturday I finally were able to get together with some of my scrapbook friends again. Our local crops are not happening anymore, because we all have gotten to busy, some moved away and less and less of us were able to attend. However, I really miss scrapbooking with my friends.I miss the conversations, the friendship, the camaraderie, the stories we shared, the laughters ... and the food!



Last Saturday I attended the huge crop at the CHA Craft Show. It was so much fun to just scrap again, and I mean paper scrap again. The door prizes were awesome. In the matter of fact I could have left all my paper at home, because I ended up using only the paper that we got as one of the door prizes from Heidi Grace (Reagan's Closet). The colors and the texture of her newest collection is just plain awesome! It inspired me so much, that I couldn't help myself, but use it up for all of my layouts. I was just drawn to those papers. Here is one of the layouts I created:



I put the journaling into circles that I pop dotted and doodled around. Just wished you could see and feel this paper, it is great to work with.

A productive Day

Last night I just played around a little, not really knowing what I was going to do. Decided randomly on some Christmas photos and when I saw these all the sudden it all came together. Love this LO!

It's Friday

A whole week has gone by and I hadly did any scrapbooking. Times are tough right now, to many things going on. It's hard to relax and concentrate on projects I need to do and promised to do for friends. Well, there is always another week to do what needs to be done, so wish me luck :)

Here is a Layout I finished after struggling to find just the right colors/papers/embellishments. Enjoy!

Blog Background

Boy, did I had a hard time finding just the right background for my blog. Nothing is really me, know what I mean? Some I liked, but when I put them up, they were either to dingy, or to flashy or to boring ... you name it. Well, the background I ended up with is a little like me, because it has doodle flowers and I love doodling. So until I find the perfect background that I really like, this is going to be it :) Let me know how you like it.

Decisions

We made it safe and sounds back from Big Bear last night, but now I can't decide if I should work on a paper layout or a digital layout. Decisions - decisions - decisiont :(

Thank goodness it is 2010

The last 6 month have been very hectic and unpredictable. The decision of getting away for Christmas and New Year was the best we could have made. It was nice to arrive at our cabin with a snow blanket covering everything. It didn't take long to put up and take down our Christmas tree. I competed 13 digital LO's and 2 dbl. spread paper LO's since Christmas. I am very pleased with that accomplishment, since I have not been able to even think about scrapping the past few month. Starting digital scrapbooking was perfect for me this time around. I could use photos that I didn't had printed yet, and even the newest photos just taken during this vacation and best of all, I didn't make a mess.

To show of my work I am adding a digital LO I created about me, using supplies from Jessica Spragues class Up and Running, which is a must take for beginners :)
