Taking Chances

I decided that my layout wasn't finished and I want to put some color in the flowers. It was too late to use photoshop plus I don't really know how to use it so I decided to take my stampin up felts and color the flowers. I started with one and there was no going back. I was soooo scared I would wreck the picture but then I took the blending pen from close to my heart and blend it all together....again I took a big risk. Here are the before and after...

Before




After

Inspired

Well after months of not feeling very inspired I finally feel inspired once again. I haven't really done a lot of layouts recently and I think it was because I was feeling discouraged. I would see so many beautiful layouts and be envious. Why can't I do these layouts and make mine look as beautiful. But then I finally decided you know what I do like my layouts and maybe they are not as professional looking as the ones that I have seen but they are mine and that's all that matters. I don't need to be a professional or be perfect. I just have to be me.

Thanks for looking

My new little camera....

It only took over three months to get here but I think it was well worth the wait. I finally got my new little camera. We have this awesome program at work where you can get points rewarded to you for different items. I had enough points to get a little camera that I wanted to have with me at all times so if that perfect scrapbooking moment or picture was there I could take the picture. It's so cute and it fits nicely in the palm of my hand.

I also got a new cricut cartridge from eBay called "Doodle Charms" looking forward to playing with that. I've seen the pink stamper do a lot of neat things with it so I think I can do some really neat things with it too.

Until next time....
