This past year, I have totally cut the time it takes me to do a project in half. I wonder why...am I just more comfortable with my style or have I stopped overanalyzing? It is strange because it used to take me forever, but now I can get a layout done during naptime--which means I can finish a second one at night!
Hmmm...
I have more October Afternoon yummies to share! I love this kit and this paper so much that I made cards. Like I enjoyed making cards (insert emotion icon of face with eyes bugging out)! And I made three of them!
Here is a layout titled Risk! Yep, Steve and I are white water rafting in this one! This was 9 years ago. Can you pick me out? I am smiling, but inside I am scared out of my wits!!! All October Afternoon Road Map on this with American Crafts letters!
Here is a fun tidbit. You know the X2 layout I did below with the big blue circle--well the solid circle on Risk is what was inside! Sneaky and green! Journaling: I never would have taken this risk without you. Even though I was seriously nervous, I enjoyed every second. The crash of the water, the speed-it was thrilling. Even kayaking in the calmer water...It was amazing. Risks I don't usually take. Until you. Thanks for taking me on this adventure!
And some cards!
The Enjoy one was a total accident. The vase is actually an OA journaling sticker turned on it's side! I was just fiddling and bam! I cut the inside out and replaced it with paper! An idea was born!
Off to see what else I can cook up! Hope you have a great day!
In all seriousness, I look at my stuff and I think to myself, I'm pretty good! And then I come over and look at your OA roadmap creations, I'm so so so so embarrassed for myself! I mean, sigh... everything is "right click, save image as" material for me!!! And at the rate you produce, I'll never catch up in scraplifting alone, LOL!!!!
ReplyDeleteI keep falling in love with your things. You are the queen of scrap for sure! You inspire me over and over. I haven't scrapped for months but all of a sudden, just peaking in here, it made me real interested in scrapping again.
ReplyDeleteWow, Stacey! These are all so fabulous. I especially love the layout and the "Enjoy" card. You are doing some amazing things with that Road Map paper.
ReplyDeleteWhat in inspiration you are! Your LOs and cards are not only incredible but YOU are the master! It would be nice to cut the time it takes me to create a LO. I played around with my latest for 4 days! LOL! Of course it was a little here and a little there but 4 days nonetheless. Glad you've found your groove! :)
ReplyDeletei came over from aphra's blog and really love your style. i am now a follower :)
ReplyDeleteWell, if you ever figure out what it is that lets you create such fabulousness in half the time, let me know! I stinkin' love that Enjoy card, it's soooooo cute! You need to be e-mailing this stuff to OA!
ReplyDeleteI love the cards! Especially the accidentally AWESOME one!!
ReplyDeleteMy gosh, Stacey, these projects are truly amazing! I love that Risk page....already drooled all over that on Peas this morning. And those cards are fabulous. Each one a true work of art. Love the road you created with the car die-cut.....so dang clever!

ReplyDeleteOh yum! I could use October Afternoon on everything and your creations make me want even more. That red plaid paper on the first layout is just the most perfect choice.
ReplyDeleteWow, I know what you are up too, I was thinking the same thing!!! I don't want to go up against creations like this for thier DT call, when it happens. Lovin the stuff Stacey it looks awesome.
ReplyDeleteOMG! I absolutely LOVE your Risk layout! in-freakin-credible!
ReplyDeleteHey Stacey, cute cards!!! Love to know how you do it in half the time
ReplyDeleteYou are amazing! Love that layout!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely love your stuff! Love that Road Map collection so much...
ReplyDeleteWell, I switched to digi because it's faster for me, but I think I still take too long to complete a page! Good for you for cutting your process in half! Your creativity certainly doesn't suffer for it - your page is wonderful, and I just love your cards!
ReplyDeleteI am in love with ALL ALL ALL ALL ALL did I say that enuff ALL your creations .. and umm yah did you get my email to you on 2peas, I answered your question .. and you will see it took me A YEAR and I doubt it will take you that long .. so go for it ..
ReplyDeleteI just LOVE that layout!!!! The photo is incredible and it pops against that background! I think you are awesome and I love everything you make. That flower vase is the cutest thing I have seen.
ReplyDeleteI am pretty fast too, now. One nap is all I have during the day. I think that I have stopped overanalyzing and I am more comfortable with my style, too.
