I’ve made a bunch of layouts with my kit and I’m loving the quick scrapping.
This was my warm up layout. Do you do this? Usually they end up being my least favorite. I had a super crazy bad warm up layout after a few months off of scrapping. It was so hilarious. I sent a picture of it to my scrappy friends and they got a good laugh. I don’t fret too much though, I still stick it in the scrapbooks. This is not really that bad, I just feel like it needs something, ideas?
I decided just to leave the pictures of my layouts with the counter top in the background. Way easier than trying to get it straight on, is it distracting? If so I’ll have to come up with some better way to take photos of them (I hate scanning and stitching). Anyway super simple layout, but I am loving the simple.
Wonky photo-merge but you get the idea. A two page layout, what?
One of my all time favorite brads. I love brads so much.
A mushy layout about Bj. I was testing all my old ink pads and saved the paper (I’m trying out new neutral colors of cardstock, this one is a recycled type with little flecks, I like it).
This was in January, can you believe it? Time flies…
When Nora came to visit we went to Cooke Stationary and I got a box of these lick and stick notarial seals for fifty cents. Every time I go there I wonder where they get these crazy old supplies. Love them. I also love my new bubble boarder punch… a lot.
Last summer, the little baldy.
Went to the blog for journaling. Hey blog, you are so handy.
Any my last layout, my favorite so far. I had totally forgotten about this crazy weird face she was making for a while!
Sarah got me this awesome tape that I have lusting after for my birthday. A perfect touch for this simple layout.
So I posted them in the order I scrapped them. I find it interesting to see how I move through my pictures/stories and supplies. Because I am not using a ton of patterned paper right now I have lots more goodies to work with in the kit. So I’m going to use it for a bit longer. I’ll let you know if I come up with anything else blogworthy.

At my birthday party a few of us were talking about the dorm I was in my sophomore year. It was a cool old dorm with huge bathrooms that had separate toilet/sink & locker/shower & bath rooms. In the main area of the bathroom, the sink & locker area my friend and I started a wall of hotness. I made a layout from some of the guys I kept:
Journaling “I do not think these really hot guys need much of an explanation, but I will humor my future generations, besides what if I have all boys? My sophomore year the girls in my hall decided to deck out our bathroom. Anyone could put up a new picture, bu tthe ones on the door required consensus. It constantly evolved and in June we all took home our favorites.”
I made this years ago but had to scan it in for you Erin and Carmen! Mmm door worthy guys. 🙂 I love the pictures of the bathroom. It reminds me of my friend Ceara’s bedroom in high school, though she had a bit more George Clooney in there 🙂
In other scrap related news I decided to go through my stuff and make myself a kit. I have been oohing and ahhing over Studio Calico’s site for some time now, but I have too much stuff already so I though making a kit of my own things would be best. Here is what I came up with (with some editing from Sciarrino):
Some yummy goodies. I’ve already made five layouts with it, crazy! They are pretty simple, but I love them just the same. I’ll share a few tomorrow. For now I’ll leave you with one NOT made with the kit:

Ok I have to admit to a little chill in the air, despite my reluctance to let summer go. Of course when this happens and more time is spent inside I start thinking about tweaking things here and there. My living room is the next on my list.
It looks pretty good here with lots of light coming in. The rug is newish andwe love it, it’s from Amy Butler updated: we’re having serious problems with this rug. I do not recommend it, we are still working with the company to get our issues resolved. I was waiting for the rug before figuring out the color for the table and other things, like curtains. I think I want to have the table painted that lighter blue color and do curtains in a similar shade, but I’m having trouble finding some dark enough blue that don’t look too heavy. I want them to be full length (the ones I have now were made with something I had on hand, hence the short size). Ideas? Thoughts?
To the right of this picture is the little phone cabinet:
I have the table moved into my craftroom right now so Tuesday and I can work on projects together. I think I’m going to leave it as is, but I need to clear coat it so it’s easier to clean.
I did already do one little thing:
I re-did the nook above the fireplace to make a little art gallery.
When I was thrifting with the girls I said I thought a little collection of glass candlestick holders would be fun. They said I could find a whole collection in the one Goodwill we were at, and they were right.
Are you starting to turn the focus inside? Any little projects around the house you want to share?
