Thank you. I used my recollections stamping markers and just spritzed.

Good news: when I was sorting through my Disney drawers, I found that I had already printed the 2008 trip and most of the prints are going to work. There are only a few I want to reprint in different sizes.
Bad news: I hate most of my Disney themed papers and embellishments, but I'm not willing to buy more. I'm just going to try to use what I have. Somehow. Creatively?
Good news: I finally found the 2002 trip photos. They weren't in the drawers. It turns out that I started scrapping this trip years ago and forgot about it, but
Bad news: the pages I made are awful. Really really awful. Some of my first layouts from way back then. I'm going to have to cut them apart and start over. And to complicate things more, I only printed and scrapped some of the photos, so I have to sort through a huge mess to figure out what I'm missing. I think I'm going to save that task for sometime *next* year.
All I can say is thank goodness they're digital. We bought our first digital camera specifically for that trip, and I'm so very very glad we did.

Sticker sneezes, everything randomly placed, you get the idea! At least it is a fun trip to look back on!

Whoo hoo! Scrapbooking weekend coming up. I'll be coming home every night, so if I decide I need something, I can grab it, instead of way overpacking.

I have a ton of cardstock. Literally, I think, Ladies. But strangely I don't have many sheets of my GO-TO colours left. What will I do? Order my favorites? Find ways to use the "leftovers"? Where did all these muddy browns and dull greens come from? Some is from kits or pages left in cs pads, but I must have chosen at some point to actually purchase some of this... How can I use the pastel yellows and burnt oranges? Or that dark greeny teal? I use a lot of similar cardstock by using it to back layouts with a lightweight patterned paper. Some paper is pretty sturdy on its own but others not so much. And that's when I just adhere my layout to the cardstock and call it good.

I've been pretty spendy the past three months when it comes to scrappy supplies. I guess now it's really time to rein it in. I have been scrapping a lot, even pulling in older supplies, so that helps.
Looking forward to the upcoming scrappy weekend here.

Yesterday I scrapped a few pages.
Two for my dd's album, including her last birthday.
Then I did two pages of last Christmas's cookie making.
I haven't actually scrapped Christmas for the last two years, ever since I stopped doing December Daily. And I love scrapping Christmas, but am overwhelmed.
Yesterday I just decided that Christmas from now on can go in a 12x12 album eventually. I kind of prefer 8.5x11 for the ease of buying albums and protectors, but I take lots of pics, and need the space of 12x12.
Now I'm hoping that I can snag some 12x12 Christmas paper pads on clearance sometime soon, because all I have is one 6x6 pad.
And on Thursday I ordered February 2019 photos.

My mojo is lost.
I just got new pics delivered two days ago, but I just have no energy to really do anything with them.
This morning, I stuck a selfie pic of myself on a layout I made years ago. The layout was titled "Me, right now..." but I only just finally have a pic good enough of myself to use.
I have two sets of pics on my desk with embellishments, just waiting for me to do something with them.
I keep thinking that I may pare down my stamps. I don't have an enormous amount, but I have some that I haven't used in years. But the thought of deciding is overwhelming. I just wish I had a scrapping friend in the neighborhood that I could hand them to.

LOL, so I spent a few minutes in the scraproom, and feel better.
I made kits with the two sets of pics on my desk, so I can tackle those when I feel more into it.I
I made a 4x6" "layout" for teen's school album. They are in a club that goes on tons of community service trips, so unless there were many pics, I tend to make PL style cards with 4x4 pics from Instagram for each event.
I love how fast it comes together. Cut down a 6x6" sheet from a pad. Add pic. Add small journal tag. Embellish until done.
I also went through my 12x12 paper pads, and pulled the few remaining sheets out of a few of the pads, and added those random sheets to my misc paper holder.

It seems that having a bunch of free time AND knowing where all the LSS's are in the city is NOT a good idea if you want to save money ! While I was in Edmonton for dgs's provincial hockey tournament, the boys were sequestered between games and the dads were hanging out together, so I basically had the middle of the Day Thursday and again on Friday with time to kill. So I came home with: A Scrapbook Customs "Hockey Life" collection plus some random hockey diecuts and a title (of course: I was at a hockey tournament) TWO Echo Park collections: Pirate Tales and Hello Baby Boy. I have ONE page to do with a pirate theme. And NO babies to scrap for. But I DO have a bunch of little dgs's coming up. I might have to MAKE them have a Pirate's adventure just to use up the paper. And the B sides of the baby line go perfectly with two or three other collections--lots of teal and navy, stripes and plaid. PLUS, I ended up getting a Simple Stories Lil Dude collection. Have already used most of that line I bought last year. And I do have those little boys... A pack of Wild Whisper Classic Woodgrain pp. And some other random woodgrain papers. Okay, my mind was still on that pirate page on my scrap counter. I need to cut a pirate's chest from Silhouette. To be fair to me, I use a lot of woodgrain in my scrapping. And we are being FAIR, right??? BTW some metal findings of locks and keys fell into my bag as well. Okay, I can explain all that. But what about THIS? TWO Vicky Boutin mixed media pads: one with the background colour already started on the papers, and the other for doing all my own mixed media... Ended up spending more on the scrappy purchases than on hotel and meals for 2 1/2 days. Don't know whether to be ashamed about my out of control spending, or ecstatic thinking about all the fun I will have playing with all this stuff! Feel free to judge me!

Hubby is away so I'm cutting stencils with my Cameo, now that I bought a replacement power supply.

grammadee it’s all just an investment in the memories you’ll be making and recording. No judgement from me, just a little bit of envy.
