I am a little late with making layouts for the workshop. We are already in Week 3 and I’ve yet to finish my Week 1 and 2 layouts. Can I just say taking this workshop has greatly changed the way I journal in my pages and generally changed the way I scrap? Now, my pages’ priority is to get my message across and have it aesthetically appealing. It is my number one priority – to leave a message. Creating beautiful pages just becomes secondary. As I’ve learned it will always be beautiful – because it is my memory. And many years from now, the layouts will go unnoticed by many in my online gallery, but those that matter – my husband and kids, my family, my loved ones – they will be surely looking at my pages again and again and again. So I need to make the story known – my story, OUR story :)

SugarFree Challenge: My Trigger

Wednesday, June 20th, 2007

SSD SugarFree

Im hosting this week’s SugarFree Challenge this week, and would love for you to play along:

This week’s prompt for our Sugar Free Challenge is to scrap our triggers – those things or habits, attitudes, persons, or just about anything that makes you incredibly mad or angry.

So I can be Clean and Un-Cluttered..

..and completely organized.

That will be my scrap space, office space, hangout at home all at once. :)
Inspiration from the Pottery Barn!

I have been having a hard time creating “freestyle” pages so this was quite a bit of a challenge for me :) . I *hope* I can have more time to explore this technique though. Scrapbooking has become an art form for me as well.

Time Capsule

Monday, June 11th, 2007

This is a little project I have been working on – this book will be the product of Designer Digital’s Write Now Challenges and SSD’s POP Rocks! Challenges. I am seriously backlogged though! But I sure wish I have the time to really scrap everyday. Sometimes, when time isnt the factor, Im seriously lacking in scrapping mojo – aint that unfair sometimes? :) OH well, let’s hope this will be one of the many books Ill finish this year! After all, it says 2007 right there in the title page! LOL
