Scrapbooking now that's a novel idea!!


When all else fails, just go back to what you know! What makes me feel better when i feel like things are spinning out of control so fast that I want to toss my cookies? The details, the colors, the pictures, the paper........you get the idea!




Basically since a little before Thanksgiving I haven't even thought about scrapping except to think I dont have time and I had other things to keep me more than occupied. Then I realized that unfortunately that will always be the case and scrapping makes me feel good. So I took a few deep breaths and made the time!!!



It was a bit shaky at first, I had one false start I need to pull apart and figure out if I can make it work or if it needs to be trased but here are the two that i did manage to finish and there is another one in progress on my desk :)


The last one took me forever!!! I joked with Vernell that when she saw it she would wonder why in the hell it took me 8 hours to do it LOL but I got a little wrapped up in the details. and just kept adding little touches here and there like the dots in between the pearls i nthe circle, and the dots on top of the rub-ons. But it is an awfully long time to spend on what amounts to 9 elements!!! Oh well lesson learned...you want comfort do what makes you comfortable!!!

These are beautiful, Shakira! I wish I could think of all those details to add, beautiful.

Esp. love the color combos, the pretty rust-orange you use really pops!!!

They are both great! It takes me 8 hours to do one too, but it's not because I fret over the details, but because that is the why I am!

Have a great Holiday!
