Photography

I would love to someday be able to take pictures like Rachel Ludwig, Maggie Holmes, or Tara Whitney, but I don't yet have the people skills. I'm very quiet and shy and I don't even really know anyone here in TN yet and we've lived here for 6 months. So while I'm waiting to become an amazing people photographer, I take pictures of things around the house. Because I'm bored. And one day I hope to get a bigger and better camera because this one just doesn't capture things like I want it to.

Two new pages

I did the Family layout for Color Combo Challenge #77 over at Color Combos Galore and the other was Challenge #20 at Random Chaos (which I'm late for :/ ).
I did the Summer 2006 layout for Sketch 90 at Pencil Lines and for Calalyst Fifteen at Creative Therapy.

Yay for multitasking! haha.

Just a couple of layouts

These pictures of my mom and niece were so cute that I had to scrap them. These were photos from the birthday party for my two nieces that have birthdays like 2 days apart. I had a lot more pictures, but I didn't want it to look too busy. I kind of like the way it turned out.

Color combo challenge #75

I really liked the colors for this color combo, but I had a hard time using them together. But this is what I came up with. I also used this for the Scrap mojo challenge #16 where we had to use the phrase 'it's a good thing' and use a stamp. The little pink piece pulls out and has a couple of rules to live by on it.

Color combo challenge #74

I'm really glad I found the Color Combo blog. It forces me to think outside the box and use colors that I never would have thought to put together. These were more pictures that I had stashed in a photo album and now they're on a scrapbook page that I really like. The only thing I'm not sure about is the button pattern up in the corner. I couldn't decide between doing that and emphasizing the corner of the black paper. *shrug*

Signs of Spring

Finally got to the scrapbook store and bought the letters I needed to finish this layout. I really like the way it turned out :)

So the day we went to get my ring sized, I tried the ring on again and it fit. I guess my hands were swollen when I had tried it on before. But my hands are swollen a lot since I use them a lot at work. I haven't been wearing it to work to make sure it doesn't get messed up so I put it on today and I had to force it on. It won't be that expensive to size, so I think we might do it anyway.

I think I might have to take a nap today, too.

OLW: Think

Did this layout today for word up #27 at One Little Word. I word was Think and I actually couldn't think of anything to do, so I used 'Do Not Think'. I think way too much. I overthink EVERYTHING and it causes me to get angry and pick fights over stupid stuff, so I'm reminding myself 'do not think'.

This is also for Challenge 15 at ScrapMojo. It was inspired by my new pretty shirt I got at Charlotte Russe for 5 dollars. The shirt has lace just like the tulle(?) I used.
