I have a ton of work around the house that needs doing, but then again, I have the rest of my life to do it, so no rush...
Have a page on my scrap counter I started a couple of days ago, and ideas for a couple more. Hope I get at least 2 of them completed, maybe posted as well.
And plans... Want to give the March sketch challenge a go, but not sure I will get to that today. And of course there are all those Calvinball bonus points... I thought I had pinned a page with washi tape I wanted to lift, but now I can't find it.
Anyone else getting crafty today? Any challenges you have found on line that are inspiring you right now? |

Have you ever gone to CSI - Color, Stories, Inspiration ? When I do scrap, it's the challenge site I prefer. You have to use the 5 colours called for, 3 or more items from the list of "evidence", and 1 or more from the "testimony" list. Really fun to play.

I spent the morning editing and sending my photos for print. I did all of February. And will print off January and February.
This is my second day of maternity leave and I want to scrapbook but I'm scared to pull out my stuff and then go into labor with a mess on my table. I may do it tomorrow and cut some stuff on the silhouette.

I'm kicking off Spring by starting on a travel album inside of a mini chipboard "suitcase". it's been a while since I've worked on one of these.

I'm just knitting today, but I'm going to make three cards tomorrow (three birthdays coming up in the next week, so I need to get started).

Not today but unfortunately and fortunately my hours are being cut (first step towards a layoff) and have to say I have plans on Thur/Fri for some crafty goodness. On my agenda is some sewing but I want to clean my craft room, get my DD done, finish I don't know how many PL albums that I started and then just whip out a ton of layouts that I keep saying I will do..not all doable in the reduced hours this week but between the shortened hours this month and next month is even more time off so all that means more time to scrap.

I bought MME On Trend 2 on peachycheap.com. Does that count?
I doubt I'll have time to scrap today but I'm hopeful about tomorrow. I have the week off of work, but it's still a busy one. I find that I can't scrap for short periods of time anymore. I need to have a good block of time to be able to relax and get into it.

I did 3 layouts last night and I'm hoping to do something tonight, too. Calvinball has inspired me. I'm scrapping the last photos I printed. I used part of a Summer's End kit I won at an event 4 years ago. I might use it again tonight even though it doesn't fit my pictures perfectly. They were taken in fall, so close enough! I don't think I can kill this kit though. Way too many sheets of paper left.

I can't scrap that much this month but Nicole Jones has got me thinking about how helpful putting kits together can be. We're prepping for a vacation in April so maybe after things settle down and we're back home I can set a goal for myself in May. I know I'll have to do it then because once summer starts I want to be outside way more enjoying the warmth and sunshine. |

I finished 3 pages today, one of which was a response to the March Sketch challenge and is posted in the 2peas Gallery. The other two are in the Calvinball Gallery. I have the photos for another page on my scrapcounter. Not sure what I am going to do with them just yet. Won't get an opportunity to do much Wednesday, as we have some people coming over for coffee, and I will have to do some quick cleaning before they arrive. My goal is to get to 100 Calvinball points by this next weekend. Then I may need to detox  . Might need to forget about challenges and points and get back to scrapping the photos in order. I have been leaving out photos of our dd's son whose adoption is not quite final yet. Since I can't post his name or photos, I have been doing the pages that don't include him. This puts my pages out of order. Doesn't matter for my albums, since I store my pages in 3-ring albums and can move them around and leave spaces for pages, but it does kind of disrupt my thinking process. When I am thinking about my dh's bd, for example, I want to do the whole event (or multiple events) and that little guy sticks pretty close to Grampa! Anyway, glad to hear there are others out there creating pages and cards, playing with paper... |

I did one week of May from my 2013 PL album and reworked a page that my 2 year old took a Sharpie to! HA HA. I am getting ready to start another week in May now that my kids are in bed. Is Spring Break over yet?!?!?!

I finished my month in review page for July 2013 this week but find it difficult to scrap after work so I won't get to play with my scrappy supplies until the weekend - 1.5 days to go!

I am on vacation starting at 4 pm on Friday. I am off until the Tuesday after Easter. Saturday morning I'm going to my LSS and picking up the last of my CHA order and I'm going home to start creating. I managed to create something last weekend on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. I am going to enjoy my time off and create as much as I can.

I finished two pages this morning, one of which I can post in a public gallery: it is over in the Calvinball gallery at GIS, HERE. Now I think my scrap room has reached critical mass: everything is out and all over the place, I can't find even a pair of scissors or a tape gun without a frantic search. I. Need. To. Clean. Maybe I can get back to creating tomorrow... |

Tonight, I'm going to ignore the mess and try to do a couple more layouts. |

I did it! Tonight I finished the third and final Air Force scrapbook! I have more than 200 pages scrapped of my Air Force years with memorabilia you would not believe. Someday someone will wonder who saves all that kind of crap? Me!
I may have some stuff turn up that I have to make room for, but it is done and I can move on to a new endeavor! Whoot!
