Sweet Somethings

I wonder how many of you talk or mutter to yourself as you are scrapping?  I will own up to it, I do it all the time.  Especially when I am trying something new.  "Oh, I like how that is looking!" or "Should I really put that there?"  How about the occasional squeal and clapping of the hands when something looks better than  you thought?

I have been pleading with my mists and inks to fall in just the right places lately.  Literally, out loud pleading.  A fly on the wall would think I was a bit off my rocker.

But in reality, I am just enjoying my hobby.  Finding my center in the midst of paper and adhesive.  Taking chances in a creative way allows you to see life in a new light.

Admit it...you do it too!

Here are some layouts that I made using the September kit from the Nook...I have really sweet-talked this kit as it is a handsome devil. 



When doing this one, I asked the little buttons to really help me balance out my chipboard title "Linked."  They did me that favor.

And on this one...I muttered something about being crazy for doing all this stitching.



Yep, talking to myself and I am not even forty yet. 

And you should hear me when I am cooking.

  9. Well, yes I do talk to myself while scrapping although I never would've realized that until you pointed it out. I am 42, though, so maybe that does play a roll? LOL!

    Awesome work, as always! I'm loving that big hand-stitched circle. :-)
