New Scrap Philosophy


My New Scrap Philosophy: Do not take it too seriously. It's a gift of time to renew & contemplate, and a wonderful playground. At times, I do feel guilty for not doing more, or for being unorganized or not being uniquely artistic, but I need to remind myself, my love for scrapbooking is a FREE ZONE & not a place for self incriminations. Enough said. I get it.

For some reason I want to put buttons on every layout! I cannot possibly use all the buttons I have collected & all of a sudden I can't get my hands on enough of them! I found this wonderful layout by Mou Sohou in which she used a stamp, I have a need to scrapjack her use of a stamp. I love stamps & I'm always looking for ways to incorporate them in layouts. Lately as I view favorite scrap sites, I am blown away by the creative work that is exploding everywhere--such inspired talent everywhere!

I love this photo. Misty light. I remember feeling so blessed to be spending time with loved ones again & finally being on Maui once again. I do not take these trips for granted, ever.
Teeny photos, great to work with! Just playing with all kinds of odds & ends. The clear epoxy rounds have been sitting in my drawer for about five years. . .
