Shock and Awww!

There's still an itch to get back to scrapbooking, and yet I simply can't find the inspiration to actually sit down and do the deed.  I miss this stuff!

The Kiwi Lane Design templates arrived.  That should be enough to cause immediate breaking down of doors and pulling out the drawers and get down to scrappin'; alas, not quite yet.  For reference, I purchased the bracket and scallop 12 in sets.  They are adorable.

I found an online scrapbook store called Blue Moon Scrapbooking.  They may not be the largest store out there, and they are large, but what they have are collections and items fairly unique, and on the pricier side.  (Okay, I consider anything over $10 an item is on the pricier side!)

While perusing there last night I fell head over heels in love with a new Graphic 45 collection called Little Darlings, an infancy paper theme with 1920-30's colour schemes.  I showed Martin the collection and he absolutely looked aghast.  "Angel, how would you EVER use this paper?  It's too pretty to cut and some of the pages are works of art in their own right!"  Yep, his first exposure to Graphic 45 scrapbook paper.

The following scrapbook page is one of the very first done and is one in a series of three.  And yes, I'm still working to perfect the photographing of scrapbook pages.

Ready

Break finished.  I'm inspired and itching to go!

Since the last post I've began:  posting scrapbook pages in several locations, designed for future contests, and finally(!) ordered the first two sets of Kiwi Lane Design borders.  I also found a scrapbooking chat room, but have yet to determine if the site will be an effective tool.

 All that's left now is figuring out what page I want to create next
