I'm back!

So...for a brief time I moved my blog over to wordpress because I was having trouble uploading photos on blogspot. For a few months. But it seems the issue is fixed and I'm back. I really find I like blogspot much better. It's very user friendly and I feel it's easier to customize my site. So I'm back. Hopefully the issue remains fixed! Here are a few (somewhat) recent layouts.

"I will love you forever"
This one still needs journaling. But I was trying to keep it simple, use up scraps,and challenged myself to use stamps on the layout. 

"Love"
This one is my newest favorite. I challenged myself to use an old stamp set I had never used and more scraps! It was fun and quick.The heart set had some tiny stamps I used in the little mason jar cutout. I used scraps along the bottom of the page and stamped over some of them. I really like how it turned out...

I just finished one of two 6-week summer courses I have to take for my counseling license. So there hasn't been much scrapping time lately. But I am finding it fun to pull out a selection of papers and challenge myself to use just those papers (and random embellishments) on a handful of layouts. I am especially liking using papers that I have been holding on to and haven't used yet. I'm keeping a box of old and old(er) photos on my desk for layouts. These two layouts are photos of Ellie's first year. But I have also been working on my childhood box of photos too.

Thanks for looking!
