Effer Dare!

(my second post of the day...scroll down for the first one).

My first Effer Dare in a while. # 147 dares you to scrap your weaknesses. As you can tell, I've got lots. A few of them are as follows:

1. Gossip - Love, Elsie.
2. My baby boy - carriage.
3. Anthropologie.
4. Truffles from Peachey Perfections.
5. Accessories.
6. Hello Kitty.
7. Anya.

I could go on and on. The hubby was pretty happy I did this. Got some of my 'random' cute stuff around the house one one page :).

I'm content as well! One, because I LOVE how it turned out! Colorful, cartoon-ish, makes me *BLISSFUL*! Love how all my faves make a cool page! It's so awesome how the dares get you to think outside the box! And two, I'm hoping it'll REV up my scrapping mojo!

I have less than a month of maternity leave, and I tear up just thinking about it. I do miss my work and especially, my friends. I miss my patients and the rest of the medical team. But I have NOT scrapped one single photo of my 3-mo-old babe :(. So, I told myself that along with the card-making and stamping, I'd scrap as well! So far, I'm just waiting for the pics that I ordered! Hope to share some lay-outs soon!!

Hugs and smooches!

I ROcK!

I am feeling a lot better from this cold, thank you! Cold be-gone! Today, I will surely kick its behind into oblivion!! :) Am still having breastfeeding issues, but am hopeful they will pass as well!

My mood pretty much matches this Rockstar Anya. She commands attention, controls the stage... yup! That's how I feel on this beautiful Sunday morn! For the card, I used Bazzill for the cardstock and a lot of cool, exotic brands for the patterned paper- Hambly, Bam POP, Rouge de Garance. I even used part of those Mexican parade flags - I got it from SOML. The rub-on stars are from Jenni Bowlin.

As for my inspiration of the day: I have re-discovered my LOVE for the Effer Dares. I added them to my Google Reader, and BOOM! I went back and read each entry for the past year! And that isn't easy because I was on my iPhone! Ha ha! Basically, the Dares ask you to think outside the box weekly and aren't your typical scrapbookers. The Effer ladies are artists, and I enjoy looking at all of their different styles. I cannot wait to play along. Their themes are from scrapping your signature thing to depicting your daily path.

The card above is actually inspired from the dare to use the color you have a hard time creating with. I think the color purple is beautiful, but it is so difficult for me to work with! Don't quite know why that is!

Anyway, aside from having a lot of scrapbooking/ stamping supplies, I also collect random pretty papers/ postcards/ even clothing tags! The dares would allow me to use this eclectic stash to produce artistic pages...I just know it!! Am very excited for the next challenge! Woot woot!!

Happy Sunday! Toot-a-loo peeps!
