one 'challenge' was that this place has a well stocked fridge full of sodas, but my victory was that I DID NOT HAVE ANY!! woot woot
before going, I called my dd and told her "if I have a pepsi, I'll send you $50"
hoping that the thought that this is a $50 pepsi...would stop me. But my cropping friends also said, "that would be one delicious pepsi! you'll enjoy every drop!" ha!! But, though I was tempted by the gals around me drinking pepsi (4 out 5)...I did not succumb. BUT i did have a sliver of cheesecake! very small, about 4 bites, but still...betting the calories were more than a pepsi!
I got a lot of pages done, first page was this one for the 'ugly paper' challenge at Scrapbooks.com..the pp is what was sent to me this month. I thought 'heritage' so, I used this pic of my dad and his family in the early 1940's. I took a strip of the orange one and 'twirled' it on a pen to create the curly...kinda cool....
then I worked on Adriana's pages. Fun to do baby girl pages...don't have any pics.
my problem...I'm getting bored with my 'style'. Gotta figure out how to change it up. I pick a pp to go with the 'theme'..try to make sure it goes with the pic (though I don't matchy matchy) then matt the pic...then set it, then embellish or use a 'technique' and my pages are very simple...
I know the 'ways' to expand your style, scraplifting, challenges...books.
I do have the Elsie 'recipe cards'...maybe...I should 'break' them out.
oh, has anyone else been getting 'spam' comments??? aye yi yi...
Try to do some sketches that my help you change your style. But why change when they are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI am a coke a cola addict and I know how hard it is to quit. People just laugh at me, until I tell them to stop drinking their coffee.
I get sick of those spammers ~ get rich quick schemes. Really, does anyone fall for them?
ReplyDeleteLove your layout. I always like simpler with heritage photos to show off the picture. Great choice of colours too!
