and in still other news, and update from my weekend. I thought I was doing better on thursday after learning that I didn't make the webster's pages team on wedneday. But when it came time to scrap, I wasnt so sure. I procrastinated it a little. Then I finally made myself do it because the scrapbook nook was having an online crop. Well that just made it worse. I felt like I had to complete all of these layouts this weekend for the crop, and as I worked on them, not feeling the mojo at all, I was thinking WHAT am I doing this for! I am making layouts that I don't like. I am making myself do my hobby when I don't feel like it, and for what? So I stopped. Then I felt depressed. Then finally I said, 'screw it! I am going to scrap because I wanna scrap, and I am just going to play. I am not 'in it to win it' with
this Nook crop thing, and that's ok.' So I scrapped a little more. I played with my cricut (which I had had for about 6 months and never really took the time to learn how to use.) I played with my texture boutique and did some embossing. I dug through my scraps and pulled out things that I loved even though they weren't current and weren't going to win me anything. and it was good.

Here is a page that I am loving right now, from a sketch that I made for myself last week in anticipation of the crop. I am really into monochromatic and borders and textures right now. can ya tell? lol oh and this is some of the pink paislee stuff that was in that prize pack!

OMG! What a neat textured page, girl! You did a fabulous job with it. But... I know what you mean about it being hard sometimes to get in the right frame of mind to scrap for fun! You showed that it can be done though, so no worries! ;)

And wadda prize pack! Whoa! Enjoy!

Sitting here, reading your post and nodding - so true! I didn't touch my papers for over a year because it got way too much... just not fun anymore! So this time I am taking it easy... I will try to think like you "screw it! I am going to scrap because I wanna scrap!" :-D Great advice and an amazing layout!
