Book of Me

My mom says unless I get out from behind the camera my son won’t have any pictures of me once he’s older.  I guess like a lot of people, I don’t like having my picture taken and more often than not, my eyes are closed, but I do know what my mom is saying.   I’d [...]

Finally Friday!

I’m so glad this work week is coming to a close and more than ready for two days off.  I’m ready to move on after having to make a difficult decision to dissolve the scrapping group I organized and getting a not-so-nice e-mail accusing me of saying something I never, ever said.  Even at the [...]

Layout Size

What size layouts do you do?  Do you stick with one size-12 x 12, 8 x 8, or 6 x 6?  I have always done 12 x 12 pages, but recently 6 x 12 has become a fun size to work with. 
Sometimes I’ve gotten stuck trying to embellish a 12 x 12 layout.  I get the [...]

I miss…

Looking through some photos the other day, when my shelves collapsed in the closet spilling boxes of pictures everywhere and almost decapitating a friend of mine, I found a black and white photo I’d taken of my piano.  I remember being home on break from college (Art Institute of Atlanta) and practicing with my new [...]

Sketches

I’m sure by now most of you have tried using sketches to boost your creativity, get your scrap mojo back, or cure scrapper’s block.  I love sketches!  Links to some of the web sites I have found to be full of great sketch ideas are at the end of this post. 
Sometimes, you may start out with a sketch [...]

Starting Fresh

Have you ever just wanted a do-over?  If I could have one, I’d go back to September of last year (2006) when I decided to start a group on Meetup.com.  I’m an avid scrapbooker and instead of always scrapping alone here at home, I thought how nice it would be if I could meet some friends [...]
