Boogieboarding!


Here's my submission for a Circle Sketch Challenge for the weekend.

I made the title in Design Studio using George and Plantain Schoolhouse.

I love this new Creative Memories paper. It goes with the new Cricut Cart exclusive to Creative Memories call Cheerful Seasons.

Rock Princess!


I'm in LOVE with my new Cricut cartridge, Rock Princess!

Lots of layers, and it takes quite a bit of time to assemble, but the final product is SOOOO worth it!

What made this layout so much fun was remembering the blast we had playing Rock Band the night of the party!

I also used ALOT of my scraps on this layout!

Scraps, Scraps, Scraps.........





So, I went to find a piece of black cardstock in my scraps and recognized that I have a SERIOUS scrap hoarding issue. So I set forth a new scrapping declaration. I will no longer add to my scrap stash! Trust me, easier said than done.
I worked on a 2 page layout this weekend, so yesterday I took all the scraps and made 10 thank you cards! I was OBSESSED....I even used all the tiny scraps and made a mosaic!
Hopefully I can keep this up, and start to use up some of the scraps I've already accumulated (all 5 boxes of them).

Having a hard time getting inspired



It's been awhile since I've posted. I've had alot of company at the house and I've done a little traveling, so I'm loaded with a bunch of new pictures (to add to the years that I STILL haven't completed) and I sat down yesterday and stared blankly at cardstock and cartridges and realized that I didn't have ANY new ideas.
So I decided that some scraplifting might get the creative juices flowing. I was able to get one 2 page layout done, but it took 6 hours to complete! 1 hour just picking out the papers (which usually is where I'm the most challenged)!
I tried to sit down and get another layout done today, but STILL cannot find the inspiration.
Rob's leaving in a couple of days (which might explain the funk I'm in), and I'm hoping to get alot of work done on my albums in his absence. At the rate I'm going, I'll be lucky if I finish my Vegas pictures......
Oh well, I'll hit the drawing board again tomorrow morning. Hopefully I'll have better luck!
