I know, I know! It has been SO long since I've blogged! I know I'm terrible! But after I got so sick at the end of last year, I took a few weeks off because of how bad I felt. Well after I started to feel better, I just felt so overwhelmed whenever I stepped in my craft room! I just had no idea where to start and how to get started! Whenever I tried to create something, I ended up not being pleased with it. So I took a few months off. A couple weeks ago I went to a crop with some great friends, that I met through Scrapfest and we are now a group called Scrappy Girls! Well the Scrappy Girls crop really inspired me to jump right back into scrapping! So I've jumped back in with both feet first!
This page is titled "welcome". It is a page that I created for a book I'm now working on. My friend Ashley has graciously asked me to create an entire scrapbook of her daughter's first year of life. She wants to display the book at Avery's first birthday. I am SO honored that Ashley thought of me, and honestly, I've cried a few times over the idea that someone thinks so highly of my pages that they would trust me with such a big task as creating this very special book. I plan to treat these pages very special and make sure they are some of my best! So far I've loved EVERYTHING that I've done for this book! They are some of my favorite pages and this page is no exception!
So in conclusion, I'm so happy to be back blogging and scrapping! How I've missed it all!
Well I've officially come back from my nice long weekend away! AND I have flawlessly jumped right back into scrapping!! I'll say this, as much as I was ready for a break from scrapping, I sure did miss it!!!
I loved the layering that I played with on this layout. Actually both my layouts turned out pretty successful!
Page two is the beginning of all my fun Fall layouts! I LOVE fall so I was really excited to scrap the fun pictures I had been taking! I used my NEW kit called Happy Harvest by Imaginisce. I LOVE this kit! SOOOO many embellishments and FUN papers! GREAT.
So my camera battery is dead AND the website I use to crop my photos is BUSTED so basically this wasn't a good scrappy blog day. The page turned out fine but...I'm frustrated. Oh well! I will feel better once I'm caught up!
I've come to a point in this challenge where I'm feeling not much like scrapping, but I'm still pushing myself to do it. So far I feel at a loss for ideas, but then when I push myself to think about it, I can usually come up with SOMETHING! At least I only have to do one page a day and not more! Even better...I don't have to make cards! I'm not a card maker so that would be a really hard challenge for me!
Here is my Day 6 page. I'm using Echo Park Paper's For the Record kit. I just LOVE this kit SO much! Its pretty much one of my all time favorites!
Well that's all for today! See you on Monday!!
Well tonight was the first night that I kind of hit a wall. I didn't have much motivation to get into the scraproom today. But I pushed through it and I did it anyway! AND GREAT NEWS! I am OFFICIALLY done with Macyn's birthday scrapbook! It feels so good because I felt like I was never going to get done! Now its on to our reception book which I really will never get done ;) Kidding. There are over 300 pictures from our wedding reception....see why I feel like I'll never get it done? Yeah.
Anyway. My first page tonight isn't really very good but..its something right? It is my day four and that's what matters.
Then I did one more layout to count as my layout for Sunday. I kind of like how this one turned out...but that might just be because I'm finally done with that book! WHEW!
Hi again. Today is a double feature :) I did two pages today, one to cover me for this weekend when we will be out of town.
Here is my page I made based on her sketch. I used American Crafts Hello Sunshine kit again :) This is another page for Macyn's first year book.
Next up we have a page I created for day 3 :) Its just a fun one I put together using My Mind's Eye Lime Twist. I was a little nervous when I started putting it together, but it turned out great I believe!
I'm really happy with how these two pages turned out :) This challenge is going great so far!!
I'm a wife to Scott, mother to Macyn, and a Veterinary Technician student. As part of a class I have to keep a daily journal. I'm going to capture my life through photographs and journal entries.
