fun

i decided i would scrap more of my everyday routines. this pic, for example, was when i was stuck in traffic driving from the city. what better way to showcase my new stunnas than while driving? LOL!! i was able to afford them because of my friend's gift certificate towards my past birthday. i'm really starting to go for high quality things--i guess this goes with getting older. but i thank God everyday that i have a job that enables me to afford such luxuries!

Supplies used-- Patterned Papers: Love, Elsie from KI memories, K & Company; Ribbon: Maya Road; Copper embellishments: we R Memory keepers; Pen: Micron.

this was such a fun photo and event! i wanted the l.o. to reflect that! the b/w gaffer tape reminds me of a dance floor!!

another addition to the list

So I thought I wanted a Treo, but now I read about the iPhone and is it bad that I want one?? Add it to my list of "Things that I want but can't get because of my wedding." I know it's so darn expensive ($600), it's uninsurable (I will probably drop it a million times), and the phone service is not cheap (although with my existing account with Cingular/AT&T, I would probably get a discount). Hmm, maybe I'll wait for the second (and probably better and cheaper) installment?!


On a good note, I was added to Kristina Contes' faves on SIS TV!!! YEAH!!!! Such a highlight of my day!!

my style

i believe that my scrapbooking style is a mixture of altered & clean. it reminds me of my yearbook title junior year-- "Organized Chaos." I love the trend of using non-traditional products like paint and fabric, but i also love the look of simple, precised scrapbooking.



so i did four lay-outs today, and if you look closely, you'll see aspects of both styles (although i focus on the more artsy/collage-y part, which i'm trying to improve). and all before 3:00!!! yay!

you can probably tell by all of the lay-outs and pics that i'm closer to my other sister. but i love my other one just the same, and we've come to terms even though we butt heads a lot. this is my fave l.o. out of the four i did today. i love the color combos, and the artsy feel reminds me so much of our trip to new york!! it's so funny because i even used steel wool (like the kind for washing dishes) to alter the cardstock!! LOL!!

My friend's turquoise-y looking dress is so beautiful! But I wanted to showcase it, so instead of matching the paper to that one, I highlighted it.
