Sketch 162 & Sketch 164

Hello lovelies!

I think I might just have gotten some of my mojo back thanks to SKETCH #162 from CREATIVE SCRAPPERS. I guess life is no longer what it used to be and I now have to figure out how to fit in my love for scrapbooking into my new life because I have really missed it. Here is what I did!

I used some old papers that I have been sitting on but truth be told, my girls don't care how old the papers are, all they care about is their pages and the stories behind them.

I was so inspired by this page that I decided to do another page with my left overs using SKETCH 164, whatcha think?

I have never been a sketch kinda girl but this might just be what I need in my life.

As always, thank you for checking out my blog and for the sweet messages. Have a wonderful week : )

(PS...I have NO idea why my post is purple and black!!! I have tried to fix it 5 times but no luck)

It's been a LONG time!!!!!!

Wow it's been a long time since I last blogged or even did a layout!!!!!!!

Let me start off with saying HAPPY NEW YEAR BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE!!!!!!!!

These past few months have been hard on me, a kinda hard that made me stop scrapbooking as of my last post, the kinda hard that made me lose my passion for scrapbooking, that was until I got a call on 12/30/2010 from a dear friend of mine who told me they had just found her father dead : ( only to text me on 01/01/2011 thanking me for making her a wedding album 2 years ago and saying "Happy New year. thank you for the scrapbook you made me. It gives back a piece of time I had with my dad" Right then she reminded me WHY I scrapbook and she gave me the fire I was missing. And from that push, this page was done

This is a page is of my Soli when she had just turned 3, she went through a faze where she had to wear that cat mask all day and all night long. There was no one who could tell her to take it off : ) I do want to say that I am sorry for having been a baaaaad blogging lover, for not stopping by you blogs and leaving you some love BUT life has been tough these past few month BUT in 2011 I REFUSE to let life bring me down : )

Here's to a kick @$$ 2011!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And thank you for stopping by after I have been M.I.A. for so long : )
