Back in My Routine

Brandon is moved into his place. My parents did a nice family birthday dinner for him yesterday. It was nice not to have to cook... she always makes such a yummy roast beef & the best gravy (a nice splurge)

How many of you did the online crop on Friday night at 2peas?


I was able to get a couple challenges done while the guys were out. It's amazing how much I need my creative scrapbooking time. It's better than anything to keep my spirits lifted & de-stressing me almost immediately as I sit down to work on a page.

Here's one of the layouts I made. This was for Nichol Magourik's challenge to use more than 2 photos on a page... I have to say I read it wrong the first time & thought it said 2 or more so the original one only had the 2 bigger photos... I loaded in the gallery & realized the mistake right after that... I printed another small photo & added it on top of the wave. I really think the "mistake" made for a better layout. I know we have those kinds of happy accidents in our creative process.

I was trying to do a simple scrapbook style layout which are usually a big challenge for me since I'm such a Pile It On kind of gal. I had the urge to dig out the paints & even those the old neglected Heidi Swapp foam stamps. It's fun to "shake up" the creative juices every once in a while.
