I spent some time last month getting things organized that had piled up. Nearly all of my fall & winter purchases, Expo, stamp show, Sizzix open house items were in bags and piles.
I started working on a pocket page album today for 2016, and it was so nice to be able to go right to the items I needed. I pulled out some Basic Grey 6x6 pads with matching embellishments and stamps. It's so much easier to create when you know where everything is. All of that disorganization was killing my mojo.

I went on a bit of a shopping spree yesterday. Picked up some more cardstock (the colours I like were getting depleted), some embellishments & 3 D stickers. Wasn't going to buy any paper packs, but ended up with SS "Domestic Goddess" and a couple of sports themes mini packs.
I also bought 3 colours of the new TH inks and some black tags. I tried doing a couple of tags this afternoon, but not over the moon with the inks. Maybe after they dry they will look better? Haven't tried them on light cs or tags yet. Maybe tomorrow.

I am going to scan some photos to get printed up. One photo is stuck to glass and I have tried everything so now I am just going to scan it. I wonder if I am going to have to go through envelopes full of negatives for that 1 or 2 photos I just can't find anywhere. I know they are in this house but where?

I love when you've had a patterned paper forever and thought you'd never use it and then all of a sudden you have a picture that is absolutely perfect for it!!! That is the best feeling!

I printed out some photos yesterday, in hopes to get some scrapping done. It was a no go yesterday, but I'm feeling better and hope to get some done today . I need to move around some things on my scrap counter. My washi tape basket is accessible to dogs and my 4 month old Great Dane mix has taken a liking to them..... ._.

I was able to get two one pagers done yesterday. Last week I got all my printed sketches in a 3 ring 8.5X11 binder I found at Hobby Lobby for 2.70! It is one of the HUGE scrapbook album ones and it is already FULL so you know it was a lot. I need more ONE page one photo -three photo sketches though so I will be keeping an eye out for those. I always start with a sketch for photo placement but my layouts never look anything like the sketch (except for the photos placement) when I am done. I think it is just a crutch lol.

Where do you get your sketches, crystalb? Have you checked out KikiPea's past sketches? There is a link to archived challenges at the top of this forum. I am not nearly as efficient as you, so when I have used a sketch the paper often gets used as scrap paper for notes or to collect glitter or embossing powder, and then gets tossed.

grammadee I love that new collection, Domestic Bliss. I have pieces of it in my shopping cart, but I am tempted to buy the whole thing.

I have spent last two weekends organizing. It's been awesome. I think one more weekend I will be done. It's in great shape now. Just need to finalize some where are things going.

I have been searching for a photo of me and my DH that I absolutely love, and it was no where to be found. I was getting pretty concerned and thinking of going through boxes of negatives to maybe get a reprint.
This morning I woke up really early, and instead of going back to sleep I decided to go pull a box off a shelf and see if just maybe it was in there. And it was! I also found a stack of favorite photos that I hadn't missed yet. I had pulled them from their magnetic albums a long time ago to show someone and never put them back.
I am so relieved, and now I am going to make a really nice copy of it and scan it!

myboysnme, I always feel like celebrating when I find loved items like that which I've misplaced. So glad you have your favorite photos back.
