a doozy for me!! i explained it to my husband like this...
"ya know...it's like a fighter in the ring. he keeps getting hit, trying to make sense of his surroundings, but he can't. he just keeps getting dealt blows, and he keeps on spinning!"
i would like to think that i have found my footing and that i am getting a sense of clarity now.
good thing, because that whole spinning and getting beat up deal was tiresome! ;)
through it all, scrapbooking was where i could LOSE MY MIND...in a good way.
it's where i went to be myself-- even find myself at times, get lost, and not overthink too much.
this hobby is great for me! :) it gave me peace when life was storming around me.
ok...enough of that serious stuff!
i managed to squeeze in a couple layouts over the weekend. i wanted to document a couple of things while the stories were fresh in my mind.
our anniversary!!
i've been with this guy a long time!! weird! ;) but i also realize how extremely BLESSED i am!!
i wouldn't want to go back into the dating world to save my life!!
there is hidden journaling on that shipping tag. i meant to pull it out part way and photograph it, but forgot! ;P
again more hidden journaling that i failed to photograph. i took one of the file folder pieces from a fotostack openable by Heidi Swapp to create some journaling underneath. i used a portion of a
Elle's Studio Summer Lovin' journaling tag to make a lift tab in order to read the journaling under the photo. i used the remainder of the journaling card to do my journaling underneath the photo.
one card=2 uses!! :)
happy Monday! make it ROCK!!

ReplyDeletelosing your mind in a good way? These layouts are fab. Love the woodgrain paper. It really adds something. Happy Anniversary!
ReplyDeleteI'm right there with you. You should see my kitchen table loaded with scrappy stuff because I NEED to do it right now during the craziness. LOVE both of these so much. (but what's new) Thanks for reminding me to document this house before we move! I should sneak by and snap a photo of our first house too - don't know if I have one of the front!
