Raspberry Color Suite Color Challenge #17
WOW! i haven't done a color challenge in a LOOONGGGGGG time:) this one is from Raspberry Suite:
I used SU kraft cardstock, PTI dot paper in Dark Chocolate, PTI ink in Dark Chocolate, PTI cardstock in Aqua Mist and Pure Poppy. Sizzix dies, cuttlebug embossing plate, ribbon from the dollar store, hero arts french script stamp and few photo corners in a cream color.
My yahoo group was just discussing how scrapping seems to be going back to the basics, with lots of cardstock and fewer pattern paper. i wanted to try the idea of making a faux embossed paper using diecuts in the same color cardstock and it worked really well. Will be using the idea again son:)
Three BUGS:)
A few pages from the last few days. still on WW. day #4 and i wishing i had some chocolate:) LOL. pages 31-33:)

Distressed the edges of the 8x8 cardstock. i find myself buying the smaller sized pattern paper since i do not work with 12x12 anymore. better storage too:) LOL

Photo Album Scrapbooking ala SJ:)
ok....so i am on a quest to get as many of my pictures scrapped in a meaningful way and as soon as possible.
enter this wonderful, inspiring, AWESOME lady:
http://stacysbigpicture.typepad.com/altogether_too_happy/2009/09/photo-album-scrapbooks-10-tips.html
there is even a previous special edition from the now gone Simple Scrapbooks magazine.
i have a GAZILLION pictures from my beloved brother's wedding, like seriously. and i am on a budget...like a NO dollars budget. so i pulled myself together. gathered up an old 2-up album and got to work.
i am still slicing up pictures and putting them in slots. after i finish that i will fill in the spaces with cardstock paper and the like. that 6x6 pad of BG boxer paper will be done by the time i am thru. and i will have a cool beans album all done.
hopefully it will be done ASAP. i LIKE looking thru those pics:)))))
so thanxs Miss J:) you have saved the day. AGAIN!

Confessions of a Hoarder:)
if you look thru my blog you will see all the various stages that my scrapbooking stash has gone thru.
from stacks upon stacks of 12x12 paper to boxes and boxes of embellishments that gathered dust.
i have collected and stashed away and have gotten that HIGH from getting a box of new more more than once. it is not different than any other addiction. it is a compulsion. for me, it became unhealthy.
so i cut it all out. i stopped buying. i stopped following the trends. the few purchases i have made were things that were re-usable, like stamps or tools. i use my 40-50% coupons for adhesive. i have no idea what is trendy or new or fashionable.
and you know what? i like it that way.
i guess i had to go cold turkey.
now i can go to michael's, get some adhesive and be able to walk away:)
it is a good feeling.
new old stash pages coming soon:)
