So i've completely neglecting blogging, with life having much more pressing issues, but I'm finding I have so many ideas floating around in my head that I think its time to come back to blogging. I think this blog will function more as a place to keep track of ideas and record what i'm doing, rather than being like a gallery. That's what my instagram is for. (Link on sidebar- gallery) Though I will post some creations as well. <br />
<br />
So right now, and for the last couple of years, I've sort of hovered back and forth between art journaling. Its funny because when I'm into one, the other isn't the least bit appealing to me. Strangely, i'm feeling it for both at the moment. I'm taking a few classes at <a href="http://www.creativebug.com/">http://www.creativebug.com/</a> which has art journaling classes, but sadly, not scrapbooking classes. But i'm learning a lot nonetheless. <br />
<br />
So anyway, i hope to post more soon.<br />

So, i'll list a bunch of layouts i've made recently at the bottom, but i wanted to start with today's and yesterdays. So this one, i was psyched about... the maya road spray ink actually spurted in two heart shapes, so i doodled on it, and<br />

Today, i made this one, and i really like it!<br />
<br />
Yesterday I made a minibook for my grandparents, who i am SOOOO late in sending pictures and a letter to, so i thought i'd make it good. This only took a little over an hour! its really simple and not very embellished, but i don't think they will mind. My grandma O is next. <br />

So i might have broken my foot- Andy and i were walking to the car from Trader Joe's, arms full of groceries, and i slipped on a patch of tar and biffed it. I don't even remember HOW i fell, like if i fell directly on my ankle or what, because i pretty much blanked out... i was walking, i slipped, immediately felt nauseous, super dizzy and couldn't hear. all i remember was being upright and my foot hurting really bad, even though i know i was sprawled out on the ground for a little while. SO weird. my hearing came back gradually through the drive home. Anyway, my foot only got marginally better over the next couple days (that was wednesday) so friday andy took me to the dr. who noticed localized pain in one spot, and sent me in for xrays. The radiologist hasn't gotten back to her- or perhaps she hasn't gotten back to me, so we most likely won't know till monday, so i'm stuck sitting around, not as fun as it sounds, BUT it is a STELLAR opportunity to get caught up scrapping! woohoo! so here's what i've made so far- albums for all of the kids except Alex, who wasn't there, and asher, for the day we went to the Capitol on vacation last week.<br />

I've been doing periodic layouts every couple months chronicling where he's at in developmental stuff, and this one i really liked! i used the scraptastic kit for Jan, and LOVE the color scheme. i blocked out the writing on the word bubbles with what he's been saying and also journaled some other things going on.<br />

This month's scrapping endeavor's have been quite prolific and quite varied! though i've been crazy busy, i've really started to get the importance of taking time for my creative outlet, which is currently scrapping! This month i've also been making a sort of mental shift... watching videos and researching project life. I have been working on 2012, with a renewed sense of vigor. while i'm still doing the kids albums regular style, i'm most excited with HOPEFULLY starting project life weekly layouts soon! </div>

I'll be honest. Things are hard right now. Things are STINKIN hard. I'm not even remotely keeping up with my (3!!) blogs, heck, i'm not even remotely keeping up with housework, or personal hygiene... Someday i'll look back and this, and wish my twinnies were 3 and a half again, so i'm trying to stay in the moment as much as possible, but with Asher, (my twinnie with autism) being so incredibly demanding, i have to admit, its HARD. He requires 24x7 care pretty much one on one, except at school, where they really have a good setup for him, he doesn't break stuff there. Anyway, on top of that, its been one crisis after another at home, the latest- my hard drive died :( Since my computer was only 10 months old, Hp replaced it, (OVERNIGHT! awesome service, HP!) but i lost everything on my computer... the last year's worth of homeschool materials i've bought are gone, most are redownloadable, but that will take a ton of time, and a good chunk are not. I'm going to be doing some emailing, begging, pleading... plus i lost all of the last 10 month's pictures. Now, not entirely lost, as i'm pretty compulsive about uploading pics to walgreens, so i can get them burned to CD and back in my stash, at least most of them. but still, it was a hit. So i missed deadlines for most of the challenges i participated in and don't even remember where some of them were for, but here's what i've been working on! <br />

My sweet turkey and i sent the rest of the fam off to the YMCA, and we stayed home to SCRAP!! She took the bed, i took my desk. Super fun, we'll have to do that more often. Today, despite having a lot to catch up on, i really was feeling artsy and detail oriented. </div>

This was from my Citrus Twist December kit. and the sketch from <a href="http://letscapturethesesketches.blogspot.com/">http://letscapturethesesketches.blogspot.com/</a> The brown strip of cardstock was a scrap, it had a bracket cut out of it in a strategic place, so i used it as a design element, i pasted some extra cardstock on the back of the bracket shape, and doodled to enhance the bracket, i like how it turned out! Also i doodled white on the wood veneer letters. I am pleased with the embellishment clusters on this one. i normally have a very hard time making them look good... </div>

This one was also made with the Citrus twist December kit, and the sunday sketch, and while i love the kit, i love the sketch, i love my twist to the sketch, i do NOT like the embellishments. I"m not good at embellishments! WHY is that so hard!?</div>

<span style="text-align: start;">You know those envelopes that you get from wherever you get your pictures developed that tend to scatter all around your scrappy space? Well, i hate throwing them away, but usually just do to maintain space in my scrappy area. I've always used them to sort photos till they make it to my actual photo sorting system, which is this- </span></div>

I get a couple a year at costco and am gradually getting caught up sorting my decades of photos. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
However, being prone to procrastination as i am, i don't get the pictures in there immediately. And i've always sorted them in envelopes by month. Today i figured out i could ALSO make little folders out of them and sort within the month by event, for busier times of the year like this. See?? i'm pretty excited about this. </div>

Rebecca K.http://www.blogger.com/profile/16890819248976415947noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8964684992065257618.post-67529771952115778792012-12-15T10:23:00.001-08:002012-12-15T10:27:14.752-08:00"December Days"So, i've noticed that as women and particularly as scrappy women, we like to punish ourselves with concepts of taking a picture every single day of the year and scrapping it in an album, and then in November, doing a gratitude album, and then in December, doing a December Daily.... and on and on... and currently, i'm in a place, family-wise, in which i'd not be able to do that, even remotely, even if i WANTED to, which of course, i ABSOLUTELY would :) But the process of adapting to life changes means adapting to things that are simply not possible in an unadapted state which brings me to my December Days album. <br />
<br />
I subscribe to the <a href="http://www.citrustwistkits.com/">Citrus Twist kit club</a> which i'm sure i've mentioned before, and love it. Trina has GREAT customer service, is attentive, and designs awesome, amazing, eclectic kits. I'm on my 3rd and so far they've all come with an inker, at least one stamp, fibers, papers from several lines, exclusive stamps and embellishments, and more. This month's kit arrived yesterday, and i'm getting started this morning working on it. Now, my dilemma is that i really really prefer to use kit leftovers for minibooks, as it 1. uses up leftover and i'm not left cutting a 1" by 5" strip from a 12x12 paper! and also because the little leftover pieces are themselves inspiring and take much of the brainwork out of the process! so i made the shell of the album and will be making the cover and the majority of the pages as the month goes on- but i'm posting here in case anyone else is inspired by this idea, NOW before its too late.<br />
<br />
<h4>
What I used:</h4>
<br />
-i used the thin cardboard inserts that come with the kits each month- i used two, chopped them in half and then folded them in half to make 8 6x6 pages (front and back)<br />
<br />
-in November, Trina sent kit subscribers a set of baggies and dealymabobs to make an album with, as a contest- i'm using those baggies and cardboard thingie for the other pages.<br />
<br />
-2 binder rings<br />
<br />
-3 hole punch<br />
<br />
-Brown inker from the December kit.<br />
<br />
-misc supplies and fibers and stamps and other stuff.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<h4>
So here's exactly what i did.</h4>
Please excuse my desk mess- while i love my house neat and orderly, for some reason, i love my desk all scrappy and messy. I write on my table, i doodle, i leave pictures laying around... you might notice a red teardrop shaped BLOB where a certain husband who shall remain nameless felt compelled to take the lid off my Prima fall leaf colored inker and BLOB it on my desk, for no particular reason! Moving on....<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So, first, i took my 3 hole punch (in order that the holes would line up- versus a 1 hole punch guestimated) and punched the 4 cardboard sheets in approximately the same location. it doesn't have to be exact, because the other pages will be all askew anyway, but i wanted to have the basic form be pretty basic and similarly aligned. </div>

then I proceeded to punch the envelopes and long cardboard shape, making them intentionally differently punched. </div>

Then I proceeded to liberally ink the entire inner and outer edges of each peice. I was a bit afraid i was going to ream out my inker, but thankfully it was strong enough to hold up. Be gentle though. I was tempted to rush through it after doing a bunch of pages. </div>

To line up all the pages that were all differently punched, i opted to take the two rings, open them, and add each page, sticking it through the ring. that worked a lot better than just trying to line them all up and THEN ring them. </div>

This is a layout from my <a href="http://www.citrustwistkits.com/">Citrus Twist November kit</a> that i made for <a href="http://www.apronstringsdesigns.blogspot.com/">Apron Strings</a> sketch challenge, and its actually kind of funny, i had to do surgery on the black and white paper to get it the right shape and it was my last peice and i NEEDED it for the red/black/white with a burst of color scheme i wanted to create. There's a backstory to this one. So first, much of the design of this layout is actually in the picture itself. i edited the picture 'meme style' to reflect an event that happened last week.<br />
<br />
Here's a close up of the picture<br />

Ash is 3 and has autism. He goes to special ed preschool and rides the bus daily. his bus driver snatched away his toys which are his comfort objects, and it was super traumatic for him. It might not seem like a big deal, but to a lot of spectrum kids, Asher included, the world is an intimidating place. His sensory system si all messed up- sounds are way louder than we hear them, touches are harder, lights are brighter. That would be hard for me to take, let alone a practically brand new person. Its a constant struggle to make sure his environment is as hospitable for him as possible. And i'm commmitted to doing so- he deserves a chance. we ended up buying him bath toys shaped like things he normally enjoys, airplanes and firetrucks, since they insisted on allowing only soft items in the bus. This was a sort of scrap therapy for me, the event being probably close to as traumatic for me as for him. It really clarified for me that we are in a battle, and i have to protect this helpless child and be on guard ALL the time. anyway, thanks for looking!Rebecca K.http://www.blogger.com/profile/16890819248976415947noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8964684992065257618.post-1658369831398588282012-11-28T19:20:00.001-08:002012-11-28T19:20:25.583-08:00A few more quick shares...

Scrap, of course! I'm on a roll. Today i've got the creeping crud and don't feel like doing anything but sit around, but when i saw the sketch at<a href="http://www.citrustwistkits.com/sunday-sketch-17/"> Citrus Twist </a> i knew i was going to scrap- NOW. So i did! i want to do the beautiful sketch again, and make several more that all look different, (the beauty of sketches!) and i'm wishing i added more layering at the bottom of this one, but I still like it. I tucked hidden journaling into the pocket that i show in greater detail below.<br />

I also made this layout earlier this weekend, but i don't really like it so much... I think having all the same paper line makes it look kind of plastic. Ah well, live and learn. I did this as a sketch challenge over at the <a href="http://www.scraptasticclub.com/blogs/scraptastic-club-blog/tagged/october-2012-challenge">Scraptastic kit club</a> so i'm still posting it, but yeah, better luck next time :) I should add that it is a BEAUTIFUL sketch, and one i hope to retry again soon. I love that it uses 2 4x6 pictures, a common increment in scrapping for me. </div>

OOPS. So, i thought, i'll replace the picture later.... but then I got a better idea. I tried to find an identical pic, which i didn't have, but i had a similar one- EVEN cooler, i cut out the body of the new pic of Nik, and pop dotted it to the original green covered Nik. LOVE IT!!! whatcha think?<br />

It was taking a chance when it came to the circle, i used the sketch at <a href="http://www.creativescrappers.blogspot.com/">Creative Scrappers</a> and i think it turned out pretty good!! my favorite part, besides the wild hand drawn circle was the raised embellishment from the flat tags that came with my kit. i love doing that! </div>

Next, i'm sharing my early october layout for my family album. I make albums for each of my children and one for our whole family, and this year since i've been having such a hard time making it happen, i decided to do a project life-ish album for our family album. Well, i was well intentioned anyway- my album goes from January to October :) i do plan to fill in the gap, but its a lot harder when you don't have the memories right on hand. in the future i think i'll write journaling cards riight when i get the pics, that way if i do fall behind, it will still be easy. i made these bigger for in case if you want to read the journaling. I'm not very god at this style yet, so these are purely functional ;)</div>

And I had to share! i got my new kit from <a href="http://www.citrustwistkits.com/">Citrus Twist </a> and its such a beauty! Yes, i signed up for a kit club again! i totally can't afford it, and I totally don't care! i've reached that point!!!! :)<br />
<br />
Anyway, i was scouring my stash of challenge blogs for a good challenge or sketch to use and I came across The <a href="http://thescraproomblog.blogspot.com/">Scraproom's</a> blog, and their AWESOME challenges. I used the October sketch for this layout.<br />

<br />
I'm off on a tangent. Anyway, so when i saw the challenge at the <a href="http://color-me-scrappy.blogspot.com/">Color Me Scrappy blog</a> I knew i had to do this challenge! what a beautiful color combo!!!! <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://design-seeds.com/palettes/CharredHues610.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="361" src="http://design-seeds.com/palettes/CharredHues610.png" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Right?? its awesome! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
BUT, the thing about color challenges, is that they don't always neatly fit into a ready made kit's scheme. Usually, there's another prominent color that isn't in the color challenge, or the kit has most but not all the colors in the challenge... A dilemma indeed. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
But i found a solution to this problem and thought i'd share in case anyone else had the same conundrum. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Step 1: flip through your kit stash and try to find kits with at least a few of the same colors</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Step 2: If that fails, or produces less selection than you'd like, take your remaining kits and try to pick out the specific colors in the scheme. Pull the cardstock and/or patterned paper out, and set it aside. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Step 3: narrow down the papers you pulled for the most attractive combination of colors and prints. I like to choose a dominant color, a secondary color and then a couple of detail colors. I also try to have some solid colors, big prints, small prints, etc. so there's variety. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Step 4: flip through first the kits with compatible colors that you set aside, and if needed all your other kits, to fish for embellishments. I only pull out the ones i'm pretty sure i'll use, as pulling out all that patterned paper has created mess enough! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Step 5: put it all together, and clean up the mess! Voila! you have a color challenge!!! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Here's what I created with these beautiful colors- (sorry about the cruddy picture, I was too impatient to wait for sunlight!) And because i am JUST that much of a nerd- i even used the color grid itself as inspiration for the design of this page! </div>

I want to work on a series of layouts about life NOW with each child, if possible, and document who they are at a variety of ages. so i started with ash a few months ago. its hard to remember even 2 mos back so i need to do this more often!!! I used this sketch from <a href="http://letscapturethesesketches.blogspot.com/2012/06/sketch-138-reveal.html">http://letscapturethesesketches.blogspot.com/2012/06/sketch-138-reveal.html</a> super cute!<br />

My life is insane. The stresses of caring for 7 children, including 2 with learning disabilities and 3 on the autistic spectrum, me time has been pretty much eliminated. I'm working hard to change that. I've found that its critical for my functioning as a person AND as a mom that i get creative time. I used to scrap daily, and i'm working toward once or twice a week- Its a compromise that i hope I can make work, because it really is a NEED for me, but as i've discovered, just because something is a need doesn't mean it gets to be met necessarily. Some needs must be fought for. Anyway, thought i'd share some layouts i've been working on lately! I hope to be adding more to this post soon!!!!<br />

Above is Asher :) this page is for his book and has gotten kind of bendy, hence the funny looking shape of the base- i thought he was so cute in his towel, diaper, and RAIN BOOTS on our first "warm enough to take out the sprinkler" day.

Next is a layout about our trip to the art museum in Seattle, for Chloe's album, which I made today, thinking about how she in particular enjoyed the museum. I used a whole bunch of 7gypsies tags to create the circular form and distressed the paper base. I used the sketch here <a href="http://www.creativescrappers.blogspot.com/">http://www.creativescrappers.blogspot.com/</a></div>

Which is ok. I have more time to get other stuff done I guess. That means that I have room in my schedule for ONE and ONLY ONE full time design team position, so if you'd like me to design for your company, shoot me an email! I have a guest DT spot lined up for January, and one potentially for February, but I am still fine with a full time position. I LOVE to scrap and would love to show off your wares :-)Rebecca K.http://www.blogger.com/profile/16890819248976415947noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8964684992065257618.post-23427247343239692682010-11-13T14:00:00.000-08:002010-11-13T14:04:25.206-08:00Paper Variety challengeJust popping in to share a new layout for a challenge that I did posted at The <a href="http://thepapervariety.blogspot.com/">Paper Variety</a> I used my fabulous <a href="http://www.scrapbooksussies.com/pastkits.html">October Scrapbook Sussies kit</a><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiw2z_O6ADqNYTAhjYLSLzU-JoPQ6f1vH0Y_m89iRqTcc6_FHiDby3JBdZwYmDeTSND4VEwmQmBXeOj0x5a0lAvW_J_G63u11YYaSkFACRq3LvQd0SU8pqvui14CJvtP6w6TDcx77bSkys/s1600/DSCN4328.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 302px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiw2z_O6ADqNYTAhjYLSLzU-JoPQ6f1vH0Y_m89iRqTcc6_FHiDby3JBdZwYmDeTSND4VEwmQmBXeOj0x5a0lAvW_J_G63u11YYaSkFACRq3LvQd0SU8pqvui14CJvtP6w6TDcx77bSkys/s320/DSCN4328.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5539158112839652242" /></a>Rebecca K.http://www.blogger.com/profile/16890819248976415947noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8964684992065257618.post-47412826977685365422010-11-03T18:04:00.000-07:002010-11-03T18:42:44.811-07:00Did you use your mesh??In your <a href="http://www.scraptasticclub.com/collections/frontpage/products/nightmare-on-my-street">Scraptastic</a> Halloween kit?? I know when I recieved my kit, i thought... "Hmmm...." and then i got several ideas... I'm posting them here, in addition to a super fast step by step layout including the mesh, using the <a href="http://www.scraptasticclub.com/collections/frontpage/products/nightmare-on-my-street">Nightmare on my street</a> kit. <br /><br />Using mesh<br /><br />1. cut into strips and use like ribbon, or weave, braid or knot them. <br />2. use like a mask over a piece of paper and spray glimmer mist on it. <br />3. cut into circles kind of catty wompus like and compbine with already made flowers to make a cool homemade layered flower! <br />4. cover a piece of cardstock with it and paint over it to make a cool textured background. <br /> <br />Can you think of any others? Here's a hint- don't try to use it as a cool lens filter on your camera. I tried that, at different distances from the lens- CAN'T get it to work, even though it SOUNDS like it would be super cool!!!<br /><br />Ok, so here is my step by step project. When you finish, you will have a layout that looks something like this<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJFj12aurK3jV4f0XwezSydLQPtQpO9Fe015ZcjihAEwhWA-RZQgDkFBz3TqwbUBegHJVdv8bVRYEwGHtIQ7fcwetXtqqG_oAN4QlSLaSYbTvTciJyoIsROPS37Ze0Os1sABqF-_qlalQ/s1600/DSCN4319.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 306px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJFj12aurK3jV4f0XwezSydLQPtQpO9Fe015ZcjihAEwhWA-RZQgDkFBz3TqwbUBegHJVdv8bVRYEwGHtIQ7fcwetXtqqG_oAN4QlSLaSYbTvTciJyoIsROPS37Ze0Os1sABqF-_qlalQ/s320/DSCN4319.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5535496240802538498" /></a><br /><br />So first you start with a stapler, I used my fabulous long armed stapler, a sheet of paper or cardstock, appx 12x12 of mesh, and a piece of ribbon long enough to wrap around the mesh, whatever size you choose. mine is about 9x9 after I cut it, though I just eyeballed it. <br /><br /> <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivbRQB5JYTqCkqBzvJc0keiumufIf3_esonuXzAk17n0opd1P4P1Kp8wyKu4S-EvkeqJxVyzJQ9OV0HNWAdKmZ-Wg60xYZbug8LNauteAspyOOZ3JUwsNtuqqbf_-7XqENbFl1q8h3Qgo/s1600/DSC00583.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivbRQB5JYTqCkqBzvJc0keiumufIf3_esonuXzAk17n0opd1P4P1Kp8wyKu4S-EvkeqJxVyzJQ9OV0HNWAdKmZ-Wg60xYZbug8LNauteAspyOOZ3JUwsNtuqqbf_-7XqENbFl1q8h3Qgo/s320/DSC00583.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5535499021470869586" /></a><br /><br />Once you've gathered all you need to make the base of the layout, place the mesh on top of the paper, decide where to start your ribbon, and staple one end of the ribbon down. Using the side of the paper as a guide, estimate how far to go with the ribbon, and staple it down. I did so on the end, and the middle, and when i reached the corner, i stapled down the ribbon, and wrapped the ribbon around the staple which nicely concealed the staple, though the ribbon that was included in the kit was nice and frilly so it hid the staples anyway, just letting them peek out a little :)<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidfetAYDJBlA_pJUwg4zsRiGoVTB1o0o1BAA-Ax7-0C-Jd6mZJaUCuLP0DofcyVVAtxyGU6ZlIQJJf1EwtQAfTpE01u0rvRCnnIUXUpgEgErN2WgQpfOPuvV_wZxXhKpWBXvhLLgMZuLA/s1600/DSC00584.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidfetAYDJBlA_pJUwg4zsRiGoVTB1o0o1BAA-Ax7-0C-Jd6mZJaUCuLP0DofcyVVAtxyGU6ZlIQJJf1EwtQAfTpE01u0rvRCnnIUXUpgEgErN2WgQpfOPuvV_wZxXhKpWBXvhLLgMZuLA/s320/DSC00584.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5535500598577484018" /></a><br /><br />Trim around the ribbon, leaving some extra to hang out. <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjH2dSbm66KiOESxmMNMvjDuOK_KecuhEW3n1Q7Gm7lxzuL2xCW4T8uDrko6E8wU38NVVr8jE1OXxDUxe_LaFIllPxdHEZv09vCKeb08Yhnnj5AV1YOYbt8yy0XTkGndeX_kbc4xQkBjCE/s1600/DSC00585.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjH2dSbm66KiOESxmMNMvjDuOK_KecuhEW3n1Q7Gm7lxzuL2xCW4T8uDrko6E8wU38NVVr8jE1OXxDUxe_LaFIllPxdHEZv09vCKeb08Yhnnj5AV1YOYbt8yy0XTkGndeX_kbc4xQkBjCE/s320/DSC00585.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5535501758387937522" /></a><br /><br />Next, i added the picture and some embellies.

I've not scrapped since... like 5 or 6 days ago. Yep, an eternity. So here i am, with my creative outburst. What do you think? Oh and just a note. this is the day 5 sketch from <a href="http://www.inspiredtoscrap.net">http://www.inspiredtoscrap.net</a> sketch class. I can't share the sketch because its a paid class that i was fortunate enough to win! yay!!! anyway, its a super simple sketch.
