So I Tried Something New.

I tried something new last night, with mixed results.  I have been following the blog of Anna Maria Wolniak for quite a while now, and last night decided to take some ideas from her gallery and attempt a layout.  I spent about an hour and a half on this (relatively short for me) and created this layout.  I liked it more last night then I do this morning.  I feel it is successful in some areas, but not so much in others.

The credit for this photo of Baby K belongs to my brother.  Isn’t it a great shot?  Thanks Anna Maria for the inspiration.  I’ll be giving this style another try soon!

I’m Back!

That statement is loaded, most certainly.  It was been a rough week, and a busy few weeks prior to that.  I won’t go into al the details, but it does feel very, very good to be back.

The layout I have to share today was created what seems like a long time ago.  It was probably only 3 weeks, but it was the last time I scrapped, which is, in essence, and ETERNITY.  Smile I REALLY can’t wait to dive back in and create something.  I might have to rebel a little and take the afternoon off. 

Anyways…  these photos are from the first Tee Ball game last spring.  Registration for the upcoming season was last night, so I suppose the timing is appropriate.  I used October Afternoon, some American Crafts, and a few other bits and pieces.  Since I am not a theme scrapper, it was a challenge to pull off a sports-appropriate page, but I did what I could.

I need some sunshine soon!  not only for my photos, and photos of layouts, but also for my own sanity…
