Sketchy Sunday

This week at The Everyday Scrapper the sketch came from Liz Qualman

Photobucket

I used one of the last kits that I got from Apron Strings for this layout of my truck during our 1st snow of the season. It was an actual snow day because we all played in the snow and got to go home early...of course by that time...the snow was over.

Am I Slacking?

I have been asking myself over the last 2 months if my not so new but semi-permanent schedule is the blame for my scrapping absence or the lack of new photos or if I am simply burnt out.

I have some new layouts to post tomorrow and this coming next week but to me they are inside my normal realm of scrapping and nothing exciting. I need some major motivation or I need to walk away for a while.

Until tomorrow....

52x52 DT Layouts

Here on the 2nd day of catch up...these are my latest DT layouts for 52x52. If you haven't checked out the challenges yet - its a great way to motivate you to use things that you might not normally use together or just to scrap by getting rid of your scrapper's block.

#8 - Use pink, blue and stripes on your layout

#9 - use 1 tag, a heart, ribbon and buttons on a layout

Who's That Girl

For the next few days you will see me catching up on my DT layouts. I think that the 3 weeks of driver's ed did me in and I am behind on just about everything but especially my blog because I keep telling myself that I will do it tomorrow and here I am again with a lot of layouts to post.

Who's that Girl for Challenge #4 was to document our routines and rituals. I went with my normal daily schedule.

My daily routine
