A Little Confession

I have a confession...I haven't made a scrapbook layout in a long time. I think the last one I did was back in January. Okay...the term 'long' here may be a tad dramatic. Ha ha! I have hundreds of layouts in my scrapbooks and to be honest, I was feeling a little burnt out with layouts. After my ankle surgery, I could not sit for long periods of time without significant swelling, so my time was spent making cards and other smaller projects. And I really fell head over heels in love with card making. I've made more cards in the past 3 months than I think I have made in the past 3 years! And I think i've also bought more stamps in the past 3 months but let's just keep that between you and me.

I felt like it was time to jump back into making layouts. The photos are piling up and I need to get them in scrapbooks. I collected some fun Momenta letters and stickers and started pushing paper and embellies around on my scrap desk.


I layered paper from the Kaleidoscope paper pack with this photo I've been saving forever. This is my bunco group and I love all these girls! I wish you could really see my hair. My daughter tied Little Petshop pets into my ponytails and I had them swinging all over the place. I really love the cocktail stickers with the corrugated letter stickers, all by Momenta of course!


Pretty simple, but I feel like now I am ready and primed to get some layouts completed. In 2 weeks i'm going on a weekend scrap retreat and I can't wait to have uninterrupted scrapping time!

What do you usually create? Layouts? Cards? Both? Creating layouts is my first love but I am really loving making cards right now, too. I am also a little bit addicted to Pinterest home decor and DIY sites and I have a few projects in the middle stages right now. I need some more time to finish things up!

Thanks for stopping by today!!
