Life is good.

I am not even going to begin to explain all the stuff that is going on right now. But rest assure, I haven’t abandoned the blog. I have been working on an album for Gracie though. I haven’t scrapped in ages… I want to pursue it some again (as I said before!).

This is the opening page for Grace’s album.

This is an 8×8 album. I used SU! paper, some spare sparkled chipboard I had, and a glitter alpha to highlight the “Who am I?” theme. I also used a digital frame on the pic b/f I printed it out.

 The journaling says:

I am a two face.

I like food.

I snort.

I eat.

I sleep.

I chew up Dingos.

I go to work.

I have a Beanie Baby fetish.

I am hungry.

I love Mama.

I love Dad.

I ride shot gun.

I am a Boston.

I ROCK.

I hope everyone is doing well and having a great last few weeks of summer. Before you know it fall will be here!

I have been taking a break. Lately, there has been some stuff going on (don’t worry though) and I needed to take a step back.  I also started to feel like blogging was a chore. It wasn’t fun anymore. I want it to be fun again. So, I am going to try to do that again- make it more enjoyable again.

I took a reprieve from any major stamping. I was and still sort of am burned out. I have been really looking at some amazing scrapbooking blogs these days. I started scrapping before stamping and really loved it. But the past few years, stamping consumed me. I want to start paying more attention to my scrapbooks. That is my goal, to do both. Why shouldn’t I?

One blog that really inspires me is Kristina Conte. She has an eclectic, amazing and quriky style. It really appeals to me. I think I was also drawn to her blog because we share many of the same interests and loves-first off, paper crafting, also I love much of the music she is into, we are both crazy about our dogs and she seems to have a fantastic relationship with her husband. I think she is inspiring. Check out her blog, it’s really good stuff.

I wish I could say I had a scrapbook page to share, but I do have a card to share tonight. I love the Pomegranate. Gorgeous, gorgeous stuff. However it photographs red. It’s not red. It’s the color of passion (imo). Therefore, the picture of this card look rather Christmas-y with the Wild Wasabi.

The base is Wild Wasabi, accented with Purely Pomegranate and Shimmer White. I think that the flowers look a “pointseitta-ish”, but never the less, cute. I added a brad bling in green, and punched out the circles. I added some faux stitching last minute. I think it turend out cute.

I hope you are all having a great week and I hope to resume some more regular blogging!!
