Happiness Right Here- Studio Calico 1.13.13 Sunday Sketch

at least I like the photo in this layout.

–1.13.13 Sunday Sketch–

Not my favorite layout. That’s just the way it is. I liked the sketch but I just was rushing with this and it shows- at least I think so. I still had fun stamping and punching out the clouds.

Happiness Right Here- Layout

I dunno, I shouldn’t bitch about this layout. I had enjoyed making it (quickly) and it was just nice to make something. You can’t get better at something without making a mistake or just not liking everything along the way either. I think the thing that I don’t like is that I used that stamp as the title. Maybe I’ll redo it. Probably not tho. I’m lazy.

At least I got to use up some random scraps of patterned paper punching out the clouds. Thinking positively here. 🙂

A scrapbooking catch up

One of the biggest things that has been bothering me lately is my lack of scrapbooking, which has resulted in a drought in scrapbooking posts. I don’t feel like myself if I am not fiddling with paper. I was telling Kita that this weekend when we met at Big Summer Potluck when we discussing our hobbies. She was saying that she was itching to get back on her mountain bike after a day off on Friday & Saturday. At least last week I did quickly make the two of us little scrapbooks. But I have not been working on layouts. Sure, I’ve been slowly continually working on Project Life but not enough on dedicated to completing the weeks so nothing to post on here. I guess I just need to carve out some time to get creative, but it is so hard when we are always busy/away on the weekends and then playing catch during the week. #firstworldproblems

I love sharing what I make so I decided I needed to buckle down and finish some posts that have been in the ‘almost done’ pile. I had to wrap up my journaling or do some little finishing touches to these layouts and it feels good to get them done and slide those layouts in my albums.

First Game– ugh these are old pictures. Look how short my hair is! I created this in response to a Studio Calico Sunday Sketch but since this has been in the ‘almost done’ pile for so long I have no idea what sketch it was!

I Love You This Much– I really liked doing this layout. It was fun to link winter : knit accessories : thread & sewing. I just wish I picked a darker thread or a shimmery one for the ornaments since that thread there gets lost against the patterned paper. I made the ornaments from circle stickers and then I put washi on them.

The Big Move– A simple double page layout. Also really old photos since these are from our move last year. I love simple pages like this with lots of alignment and plenty of photos. Nothing too special going on here but it is just nice to have our move documented.
