More pages with the wonderful SC "Partly Sunny" kit

I love this kit. I don't usually rave over a kit and rarely do I scrap a just the kit as it comes in the box. This "Partly Sunny" kit is a real exception and I have had a complete blast playing with it. Anywho.......in the process of all my scrappin' I realized that lately I am totally obsessed with hidden journaling. For the longest time I really struggled to find a "place" for my journaling on the page. So often, it seemed like the journaling got in the way of the aesthetics of the layout. My journaling really suffered.  I always felt a little guilty when I didn't journal my heart out and write what was really on my heart and mind for fear of "messing up" the look of a layout. Recently, the solution became clear -- hide the journaling. You will notice on these two pages (and many others) that there is a little tab at the top of the page. That is my journaling card. I now create a little pocket on the back of the layout and stick a journaling card inside. This gives me the "freedom" to write whatever I want -- without any worries about placement.

So the question I have for you.....how do you journal?

Still Creating!

I am feeling good today. The day started with a run on my DUSTY treadmill. The nice weather certainly has inspired me to try to exercise and be healthier. It is something about the change in seasons that just transforms my whole outlook. Love love spring. In fact, spring and fall are my favorite seasons. I love the change -- it inspires me to change also. Funny, huh?

Well, I have been inspired to create. On Tuesday I made another scrappy page and a video of my process. I hope it inspires you too. Enjoy and hugs!

New layout and a new scrapbooking tutorial

I purchased some canvas at the craft store the other day and it inspired me to get in my little craft studio to create something fun. In the page below added a painted canvas swatch to a scrapbook layout. It was fun to play with a new product and to stretch my creative muscles a tad. Check out the page below and the tutorial.

Hope you have a great weekend. It is rainy in my neck of the woods and there is a fall chill in the air. I love it! It is the perfect day to hang out at home and just relax. My kind of Saturday afternoon.
