It Feels Good…

to be sitting and scrapping today. I feel like it has been forever (really only a few weeks). I’ve done a few things here and there but not any real, sit-down-and-glue-paper-to-paper-just-for-fun-kinda-scrapping.

It all started yesterday really. I played hookie yesterday and didn’t do a thing. Nothing, nadda, zip, zilch. Just buried my nose in a book. Forgot to each lunch, didn’t check emails, didn’t do dishes and definitely didn’t do any laundry. I really just read all day. And I felt gulity the whole time even though the kids and my husband were out for the day. That was what made it so awesome. The slightly guilty feeling – it made me feel as if I was getting away with something, lol. I needed it though. It has been crazy lately with all the travelling and trying to keep up with my other creative commitments. 

Today I couldn’t wait to get into my scraproom.  I made myself do the chores I skipped yesterday first but now I am busy creating away.  It is nice to feel all charged up again.  Here is the first page I made – appropriately about my daughter who has also turned into a bookworm.

Little Bookworm

Just a simple page using only cardstock, some foam letter letters and some rub-ons. 

Upclose - Little Bookworm

Foam letters and letter rub-ons are by American Crafts.

Journaling - Little Bookworm

 To make the decorative border I used some scalloped cardstock and then took a 1/2″ hole punch and punched the circles.

It is just a simple page to document my daughter’s sudden love of reading this summer. :)

More page soon.
