Travelers' Notebook - Party!

 I know it seems to the young that things are going sooooo slow

but in reality, their birthdays come fast and furious.

 I used a lot of stamps, fussy cutting and of course

I had to pop them up.

And Miss Amelia - turning 8.

Really when did that happen and did it go fast or what.

She looks soooo grown up.

No more little "little" girl anymore.

Studio Calico.

Seriously busy paper

Which sometimes you just gotta go for it.

I used a couple of branding strips as background to

ground the photo and embellies.

 Used different textures in clusters to help with the focal point.

 And an adorable photo to bring it all together.

So the majority is Studio Calico papers, wood veneers, enamel hearts & dots, 

with Bella Blvd heart, and Creative cafe buttons. 

Annie and Owen with a Lucy treat.

One last Halloween page (maybe)

Still hanging with Holli when this page evolved

and did add some touches when it

came home

like enamel and Nuvo dots.

 And those itty bitty hearts.

Aren't they adorable.

Which doesn't lend much to a "scary" page.

However, Pokemon ain't that scary.

 Well we do have some sort of "Freddy" there in the background.

Again, shopping at Holli's was fun and that candy

(which is the title) makes me want to open it up and eat it.

All in all it was a fun, productive day

and the mojo seems to be sortof returning.

Haven't scrapped since but sometimes a break is a good thing.
More K&Co.

It was one of those mojoless times

and it happened when my pal Holli and I got together

at her place to scrap.

How uncool is that.

However, I persevered and got to thinking not all

pages have to be the "Mona Lisa" quality.

Sometimes you just have to glue things down and let go.

This Echo Park paper is really fun.

I did put the page together but after I brought it home it

seemed to be well plain.

So I added more mists and enamel and Nuvo dots about and

that really helped.

Also outlining in a sharpie helped.

 I did a couple clusters of them as it was really fun.

I did put some itty bitty hearts to the mix

and that turned out really neat too.

 Seriously, I agonized over this page and was like why.

However, it broke the ice and a couple of more

pages came so there's that.

And it's fun shopping at Holli's - she had some neat stickers

that helped the pages be special.
