Break Time

Published by andeecate at 9:45 pm under Uncategorized

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!!

    I, for one, am glad to see you back. I have missed you and have missed keeping up with you on your blog. I totally know what you mean about the scrapbooking/stamping thing. I started as a scrapbooker, too. I still can’t get myself to incorporate stamping with scrapbooking other than using alphabet sets on scrapbook pages. They are still two separate things in my mind.

    I’m glad to know you are okay and you know, we all need breaks away from things dragging us down. We need to recharge, refocus, and re-energize. Who loves ya’, baby?! I do!!! Smooches to you!
