Running on Empty

I know...I know...I've been a slack blogger again.


Work has been crazy lately...I am still trying to adjust to working a near full week..and the fact that I have two little boys that are constantly pushing the boundaries while I am there. I am coming home most afternoons and dragging myself through the motions of homework, dinners and bedtime routines before crashing myself not long after the kids. And yet still I am tired....go figure.


I spent some time scrapping this weekend. I decided to join in the cybercrop at Forever Always. Man their challenges were tough! I managed to get them all done though which was a miracle considering how damn tired I am.

The first challenge was to find a magazine....• Find an advert that inspires you and then scrap a page using that inspiration. You may like the layout, the colour scheme, or the wordage. • Use 3 different forms of type – this means your title & journaling needs to use 3 different forms of application as in chipboard, Rubons, computer, stickers, stamps or your handwriting.

This was the ad I used for inspiration:

And the layout I created from it:

The second challenge was a back to school type challenge. We had to remember our three R's and do the following...• Read – use your book title as either your title or in your journaling. • Writing - You must include some journaling on your page • Arithmetic – Include 1 Ring + 2 Ribbons + 3 Rub-ons = a completed challenge entry.

I'm not sure you can read the quote on this but it says..."She is your mirror, shining back at you with a world of possibilites. She is your witness who sees you at your worst and best and loves you anyway. She is your partner in crime, your midnight companion, someone who knows when you are smiling, even in the dark. She is your teacher, your defense attorney, your personal press assistant, even your shrink. Some days, she is the reason you wish you were an only child. ~ Barbara Alpert. "


And lastly the third challenge....WOW...it was a sketch....a sketch for a round layout...I've never done one of these before but I really do like how it turned out. Not sure how I am going to display it yet...
Hopefully this week will be a little more organized and I can get some serious scrapping done.
