So many great challenges and sketches this month!! I’m still playing around on my layout I haven’t figured it out yet so I had to walk away and regroup, it’s taking me forever and I’m frustrated lol. For some reason I always have to finish a layout before I start another 🙄 but I’m bored and no longer inspired. Does anyone just work on a different page, or how do you figure it out 🤷♀️ I’m free the next few days to scrap, next week is busy. Still fighting being sick, from drinking a couple cans of diet soda 🤷♀️ Never bothered me before but something is going on with my stomach that’s causing a lot of pain 🙄 it’s beyond irritating. Does anyone have the chance to scrap this weekend? What goodies will you be playing with? For me, I have some Felicity Jane kits and some Vicki Boutin pp that I’m looking forward to playing with. Well I think I’m looking forward to scrapping with half of the things in my room! but I’m such a slow scrapper. Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Haven't scrapped today - I've been feeling a bit under the weather - but I'm planning to scrap tomorrow and over the weekend as time allows.

The only scrapping I've been doing this summer has been during the once-a-month Saturday crop in our area. There's one coming up this weekend and I'm really looking forward to it. I'm still working on the same old Disney 2008 album that I started at the beginning of the year, but that's fine with me. I like seeing the progress, even as slow as it is. It's all scraps, so no fun new papers

I scrapped yesterday and today, and hope to continue tomorrow and Monday. I am at ds’s home until Tuesday and am scrapping while the girls are in school Working on this years back to school photos. Have a couple of 2 pagers done and another one on the go. Picked up a Doodlebug school kit at a LSS in Calgary and am using that as well as a bunch of supplies I pulled from my School bin at home. Without my whole scraproom to grab from, it’s a bit of a challenge, but the Sketchtember challenges are definitely helping. dasmith2, I usually focus on one LO at a time, but if one is giving me trouble, I am quite ready to set it aside and move on. Often when I do that, the pressure is off and I find the solution to what was holding me up.

I have a crop Friday night and all day Sat. My paper from scrap your trip did not show up and I was planning on using it to knock out some California layouts. I will have to make due with other photos which should be fine.

I haven't made any digital pages in a while, but of course now that my laptop is off getting repaired that's all I want to do! Maybe I can plan some pages to make when I'm back up and running.
I'll probably just work on cards instead. Today I stamped 6 card fronts with a big piece-of-cake-with-cute-kiddos stamp and now I just need to figure out how to color it in fun colors. My first attempt was pretty garish and horrible, but hopefully the next one will be better. I might try using colored pencils too.

So I played around with it some more and am happy with what I came up with, then my ATG tape busted 😂. I’ve had that 10+ years and I still have to check yt to unload. I’m pretty disappointed that I have to start a new roll, but there’s 1/4 inch or so left. The tape starting busting off every couple inches. I remember this happening when I ordered from Amazon, so I ordered from Tape Jungle. I’m pretty irritated because I bought the box while ago. At least I got a fresh start on my lo.

I will be putting a big chunk of time aside for crafting this weekend, it feels like forever since I was able to get into my room for more than 30 minutes, the housework can wait this weekend. I did play around a bit last night with a page that I have been working on for weeks now, pulled the whole thing apart and changed 80% of it, loving it much more so hoping to finish that one off.
I am going to a craft destash on saturday morning and if I do not have much luck with that I know of a scrapbooking garage sale that is on close to me so either way I will be indulging in some retail therapy. Hoping that I get some new stamps and some long forgotten paper lines. I did see some old K & CO paper in a sneak peak photo so hopefully they are still there.

I actually got some done today! I've been slowly embellishing our summer vacation album as I have time today...and tonight as I wait for my 9th grader to get back into town from a JV football game...that I didn't go to because my other son had homework and because I didn't feel like driving almost 2 hours for it...and of course they won...their first game...sigh...

I'm hoping to do a bit of card making Sunday. I need to make my brother's birthday card and a couple of batches of thank you cards. I'm using a cool lake scene die for my brother's card that I borrowed from grammadee. I don't have a plan for the thank you cards yet.

My DD got invited to go to the LA County Fair tomorrow with her friend and her parents, DH is working all day too so I have the houuuuuuuse to myselllllllllllf! wahoo!
I'm SO excited to get to scrap, uninterrupted all day that I'm seriously giddy! I'm leaving the office early, gonna hit Costco, get ALL my errands done, including cleaning the house tonight (making DD help me). I'm hoping that by early evening all my stuff is done, except for the laundry. My goal is to get a two page layout done that I had only pulled papers for. I'm redoing an old layout that I had started years ago and never finished. I ruined it with some chipboard letters I had tried painting and then never got back to it. It was from a Hanna Montana concert I took my then 12 year old to. Thank goodness I was able to Google the tour dates so I have that info.
Then I have all day tomorrow to scrap all to my self. I have a new paper stack that I picked up at Tues Morn, Jen Hatfield? Hatmaker? IDK she's new to me but it's a cute paper pad. I'll put RTS scraps or that new Housewives tv show on NETFLIX I keep hearing about. I will then see where my mojo takes me. Whenever I feel like I break I'll work on assembling my Becky Higgins School year kit grade pages by year as I'm so behind on those.
I think I'll set up my sewing machine too. I haven't sewed on a page in ages.

Almost finished 6 cards today. If I had another hour of energy, they would be done tonight. I'll start there tomorrow and move onto another design/6 cards. I'm desperately trying to fill a box of cards for Cards for Soldiers in the next week.

I got a page done yesterday and another today. I’m focusing on the Sketchtember sketches and feeling quite accomplished! I have a lot of them to catch up on though. I have tomorrow free and very little planned for Sunday so I should get some pages done. msliz I should have planned to come to the crop tomorrow! My sister and I decided not to bother with the Expo last weekend after seeing the pitiful vendor list. With so much going on last weekend I never thought about the crop 😕 Maybe October, if you’re going.

I’m finally getting to my own self reflection challenge. It’s been all work & headaches this month. & by headaches I mean I can function, Advil & Tylenol don’t help headaches.
I’m trying to decide if I should go to an allergist, and ent or a neurologist about these new headaches because my Gp was no help.
Anyway, today I’m functioning, light headache only, & I’m getting things done on my challenge FINALLY! Yay me! I was going to do 6x8. Then I toyed with the idea of buying the green 3x8 from Ali but I’ve decided since it’s self discovery & about me that I’d use the TN that I made from scratch at a class at my LSS. It’s seemed appropriate to put *me* in a hand made book.
I’ve gotten my pictures & journaling for items 1-4 assembled ( I was supposed to do one thing every other day but that didn’t happen ) so today I’m scrapping 1-4 today.
Last night I made 2 cards to try out some new dies I had bought that arrived yesterday.

I finally got back to scrapping this week, but now I need to print photos. Boo...
Instead of going through photos, I decided to organize, and now there are leftovers all over the place that need to be to put away. I’m avoiding the temptation to pull out even more. The good news is I am really getting it cleaned out, not just rearranged. Trying to let go of the things that no longer bring me joy lol. The Basic Grey stays!

I was a scrapping FIEND this weekend. So much so that I took Monday off and still scrapped! OMG I'm so into the zone it's crazy. I stayed off the boards because I knew if I sat down and started posting I'd start surfing and I really didn't want to be pulled away from my scrap desk. I did about 8 total layouts, some double page spreads and some singles. I did tally my points up for the challenges but I haven't posted anything here yet because I have to figure out where to and plus I have to join Flicker (don't I?) and so yeah, that's not done but my pages are! Woot! I re did that old Hanna Montana using some old Basic Grey (Phoebe?) paper and I'm quite happy with it. I documented three stories for DD and started a challenge layout about myself. I used my Cameo last time I used that was in 2016 for a school project for DD. Cut out a title and realized that I really need some decent fonts, all mine are so tired and stale looking. I mean, Pacifica and 2PeasSleigh just need to be retired! I scrapped a double page layout with some darling old Sassafrass and just am so glad for my stash. I have a band booster parent meeting tonight and I wish I didn't because I'd really rather stay home and scrap.

I love that I get that way once in a great while, but not so often, maybe I need a long break, too?? My problem is I always feel most productive when I need to go to work...and too many years until retirement to slack off too much yet.

I "made myself" scrap today. I've had the same three pages from the same event on my desk for weeks, and finally just decided to finish them and get them behind me. I like them now that they're done.
I scrapped two other layouts right after, when my mojo started flowing.
One was a basketball layout with four pics. I finally found basketball stickers at Dollar Tree, so it came together quickly.
The second was a pic of my ds with a mohawk. I used scraps from Shimelle's Field Trip that I had laying beside my desk, plus some "cool dude" Dollar Tree stickers, and a few enamel dots.
I'm glad to have done something.
