Goals

A new year brings a new start to things. Originally, I wanted to start this blog to create my own pages and sketches… Hence the name of the blog “Sketch this”. But I have come to realize…I am no good at sketching. And I find that when I do come up with a sketch, I overthink it so my page either comes out looking nothing like the sketch, or too literal.

So I have decided to change the name to something that is more accurate to what I want to blog about. Mainly, I want to share what I learn from others, promote sites that inspire my pages, and…well…have fun doing it!

Currently I am cleaning my scrap area so that I can start anew in the next few weeks! I hate to admit that I have not scraped a page in over three months. L boo.. I didn’t even make cards for Christmas ! I am slacking…and in truth, scrapping relaxes me, so there really is no reason NOT to be scrapping!!

On another note, my camera went Klapoowii. It now only works in the upside down position and the controls won’t function. The back story: During cheer this past season, I had the camera on a tripod and some of the girls got squirrely and knocked it over. When I picked it up, something inside had come loose and you could hear it sliding inside. It takes orange pictures…blah…so currently, I am without camera. But alas, I have a plan! I am looking at new cameras and will be getting one in February!

And to get back into the swing of things, I created a small bucket list of things that I would like to accomplish and an amount of time that I would like to get them done. A very good friend of mine would then call them ‘goals’…I will list them in the next few days!!

SCRAPS book

I posted over at Sisterhood of Scrap for their Teaching Tuesday. Hop on over to take a look!!

The book shown at the end is one that I made a few weeks ago while my computer was down. It is an idea book to put different techniques and sketches in that I find on the web. So that when I am on my weekend crops or just scrappen away from the computer, I can pull out the book and get inspiration that way!!! If you want to know how I made it..just ask!


Oooo...and I almost forgot to post my Monday Challenge from Sisterhood of Scrap...They are wanting you to scrap two pictures of different sizes. These pictures were taken last summer in Oklahoma. And no matter how hot or humid it was...he was out there catching those bugs and frogs and even brought in a spider. Ewww...


I will post challenges and sketches tomorrow...I completely forgot and it is Wednesday tomorrow... :(

Happy Scrapping!!

Party Time

This last weekend, I tried for hours to make some thank you cards for a few friends who had helped out the kiddos...and no matter what I came up with, I did not like the results. So I left my scrap table in shambles and went to bed. This was Sunday night.

On Tuesday, one of my mothers' needed a birthday invitation for her daughter. And within 15 minutes, I came up with this. Nothing to extravagant but cute. Why is it that inspiration comes at it's convenience??!?!!


I still need to make those Thank you cards, and I will try again this weekend!! lol

Remember to check out the online crop going on right now over at Scrapbooker's Club House!! They have some really cute techniques and challenges going on, and you still have until Sunday to get them in!!!


Happy Scrapping!
