More *stuff*??? Seriously?

YEP SERIOUSLY!!!

I've been blessed with ADD/OCD scrap-affliction at times.   ADD because I'm all over the place, but OCD because when my brain locks onto something - I have to make it work for me some way, some how.

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO...PageMaps Sketch strikes again (Thanks Pinterest for keeping me on my toes).

 Thus, this LO was born...

THEN....... Lynn sent me a screenshot of a magazine (from 2013, though I didn't make note of the magazine, perhaps Lynn can comment with that information for the purpose of being thorough?)   The Layout was "Becoming You" by Julie Koets.  The thing I LOVED about her LO? She used drywall tape/gutter guard/staples...LOVE THAT.   Reminds me of my use of wall patch stuff from a while ago...hmmm.  ANYWAY - while I did not use anything nearly as cool as drywall tape and gutter guard *sigh*, I was inspired by the overall look -- so THIS layout was born....

  The use of a "be original" kind of quote...massacred of course..."be original, one-of-a-kind, like everyone else".   It made me laugh, even in its disjointed state.   and the kids are friggin perfect for it, no matter if it's the right quote or not, as they are "oh-so-very original".  

What will the next scrapstravaganza bring???

Scraptastical!!!

Brilliant scraptastic ideas where to find them (a la PageMaps blog via Pintrest detour) and inspiration found with Scrapbook Soup! TV show that I found quite accidentally today (OMG OMG OMG)

So ... I had today off and had to play around with things, especially after watching that show and then subsequently the website (where I got to watch an episode with *gasp* Ali E *faint*thud*).   I got to produce the following two layouts:

 The first was inspired by the Scrapook Soup! TV show (episode SS-301).  I tried to do a resist like the video...however, I realized that I have no idea where my oil pastels are.   Therefore, I decided that I didn't have any.  SOOOOO...I thought that I might try some regular crayons?   Nah.  Not so good.   I used watercolors, then I used watercolor crayons for the circle after the watercolors were mostly dried on the page.   The title, written and then hand-cut because .... April has no awesome Brother/Silhouette/Cricut scan/cut machines.   *ahem* I digress...

The second was inspired by Page Maps sketch which I randomly found on Pintrest.  (Link above).  Can't EVER go wrong with a PageMaps sketch. siiiiigh.

Now, with me returning to a regular work-day tomorrow *sigh*  I'll be lucky to update the A3C journal.   Soldiering on!!
