Travel

Hiya! Oh man these last few weeks have been so hectic and crazy. DC then Palm Springs and now I'm getting ready to leave for the UK for a week. I love traveling! I do. But damn it if it doesn't become tiring. And I ate some bad scallops in Palm Springs so I have that fun twist on this upcoming 9 hour flight! I'll survive, not to worry. 

But it has also meant that I've been really bad about updating here! I so sorry. Here's a page I made using last month's Scrapbook Circle kit. I wrote a post about it over on the blog. I shared a quick and simple technique that will add subtle texture and dimension to your pages.

I'm scheduling a few posts for when I'm gone, so this place won't be filled with tumbleweeds. Thanks y'all for stopping by!

Real Life

I made some pocket pages!! It had been awhile, I was hesitant after taking on that huge Pacific Northwest project…that I'm still needing to blog about. But the smaller 6x8 size made it easy. I used the Here & There kit and just a handful of photos. I blogged about it over on the Scrapbook Circle blog.

There's a new sketch over on the Scrapbook Circle blog! It's a fun one too!! I used it with my Here & There kit and a few photos of my kitty.

Jill Sprott said it best in one of her latest instagrams. A cat's motto is "always be where you shouldn't." Here here sister! I couldn't agree more.

Mac-a-do loves to be where I am at the most inconvenient times. She loves to snatch my chair when I'm scrapbooking and get up to grab something. She likes to lay on the pages as I'm trying to photograph them. She wants to cuddle and purr while I have the laptop on my lap and am typing up a blog post. 

Cute as a button but a pain in the butt is probably the best way to describe it. I guess I should be glad she's interested? :)

Paring the sketch with these photos (from two separate occasions mind you) and the kit was almost too perfect. I loved the gold mixed in with the pink and the teal.

I had fun adding in some stamping and fixing a blunder. That square where the gold enamel dot is hanging out, right in front of "Macclesfield" was a total accident! The rubber stamp part had fallen off and not being aware of this, I went on my merry way to stamp it. Thankfully it ended up being a quick fix! I also didn't mean to stamp the first "E" that way but absolutely like how it turned out. Quirky, no?

This might just be my favorite page for the month. Cute kitten + pretty projects, you can't go wrong!

I have a fun page to share! It wasn't for any challenges or made with an sketches. It was just me playing with my Scrapbook Circle Here & There kit. It's simple and came together quickly but that background paper packs a big punch.

And I'm excited to share this page, the first of my mammoth Pacific Northwest project! I finally finished  all of the pocket pages. It was such a huge labor of love and I learned a lot while I was doing it. So be sure to check back for that =)
