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!

March Challenge up at NVS girls blog

here is the inspiration for this month:



















and here is my take on it. I used the blue and the sparkle and the ruffles for inspiration

challenge up at NVS!

Check it out - the first challenge has been posted at NVS and there is a prize from the lovely teaspoon etsy store.

Here is my layout:
I was inspired by the plaid which I brought into the patterned paper. Also the black and white photo with the mug shot sign which I added digitally. I also used the words from the top right corner. Im not sure if it was supposed to say 'pay attention to me' but that's what it looked like to me. Also I brought in the belt and the words which I added by stamping on my background paper. And if that's not enough, I brought in the spray paint from the shirt with glimmer mist and the color of the shirt and the bag with the kraft paper.

Supplies: kraft Bazzil cardstock, Pink Paislee letters, Doodlebug ribbon, tim holtz gears, My Mind's Eye paper, Tattered Angels glimmer mist, Basic Grey patterned paper, stamp from 7 gypsies and glitz designs, journaling spot from YMBD, misc key and lace.
