That's National Scrapbooking Day for those of you who had no clue what I was talking about. :)
Thanks for all the great suggestions on our photo shoot. We moved it to tomorrow because the weather is supposed to be nicer (as in no rain and at least 60).
I was inspired by Amy to make a sign for us to use for our profile photos. As a papercrafter, I had more than a few supplies to work with. I even cut up some paper I had been saving for something special... decided it was time!
After several versions, here is what I came up with. The photo isn't great as I took it on my phone, but you can get the idea. Hoping it shows up in the photos tomorrow!
Hoping to scrap at least one page today. It's been way too long, and it really is my creative escape. I need to remember that I NEED to do things like this for myself. :)
Update:
I just took out a photo and made a page... and it felt really good to do it! I was inspired by an NSD prompt by the amazing and talented Shimelle. This is Chris and I at his brother's wedding in 1998. (The brother has since been divorced twice, but that's another story!)
Just decided to do a quick page and NOT over think it... something I need to practice in life in general. :)
So here it is:
I took the photo with my phone again, so the coloring is a little off. But I was too excited to share that I didn't want to go get my camera!
Have a wonderful day!
Totally cute! You should get a shot of your being crafty - another big part of you that might really resonate with someone. And you do such cute stuff, show it off!!
ReplyDeleteThat looks very nice! Definitely time to use that special paper :)
ReplyDeleteWow! If that's your first page, I think your book is going to be awesome! I also over think everything...are you a Virgo?
ReplyDeleteLove the pages. So happy you are doing things for yourself. You so deserve that and much more.
