I Scrapped Some!

Lately it just hasn't been in me to scrap for myself. I did complete my Design Team projects for the month at CX, but I have done very little in the line of scrapbooking just for my own sanity. Actually, I haven't even really been feeling the urge in me to scrap, even though I've been wanting to. Sooo, I started surfing around the other night and came across a new sketch challenge blog, Inspired Blueprints. Well, they had a bonus sketch uploaded and it looked do-able for this mind who desperately needed inspired. I printed out the sketch, ventured down to my new scrap-cave and within the hour I was so excited to have completed my second page for Amelia's remembrance album! And here it is...

Here are the supplies I used for this layout-

Patterned paper and cardstock die-cuts: Sweet Baby Jane collection, April Cornell for Daisy D's.

Sassy Posies & buttons: Fancy Pants Designs.

Chipboard & Felt accent pieces: Creative Cafe.

Rub-ons: BasicGrey.

Vellum Quote: www.pregnancylossribbons.com

Other: Pink crystals, embroidery floss, lace & pop-pom trim.

So if you are searching around for some new inspiration and you like using sketches like I do, check out Inspired Blueprints for yourselves! It helped get me out of my scrap rut for the time being.

Let's see, what else has been going on since I last updated? Ummm, the yard-sale. It was a sure success if I do say so myself! We had the sale for 2 days, a Thursday and a Friday. The first day we didn't even have advertised because it didn't make it into the paper on time. Regardlass, there were other houses on the street having sale that day too. Can you believe that practically ALL the scrapbook items that I had out for the sale SOLD on Thursday. I had a huge stack of 12x12 paper that I had priced for .10 a sheet, and toward the end of Thursday's sale a girl offered $25.00 for the rest of the box of paper that was left. I was so wiped out of scrap stuff on day one, and since it was going to be advertised as selling scrapbook items for day 2, I went down to my room and scrounged up some more stuff that I wasn't using and could part with, lol! All in all, in the 2 days I cleared around $375.00... not a bad 2 day earning! The amazing thing is that I got to clean out my scrap-area and purge, and ya wouldn't even know it by looking at it!

This past Tuesday, the 21st, my sweetie and I celebrated our 8th Wedding Anniversary ALREADY! I just can not believe how fast these years have gone. I must say that we have had our share of trials and tribulations, but I wouldn't have wanted to go through them all with anyone other than him! He is my stronghold here on Earth, no doubt about it! We may not have it all together, but together we have it all!

Okay, I guess that's enough for now, I need to get back to CX. Tonight is the cyber crop and chat and I LUV me some chat time, so I must mosey on back! Later!
