art journals are my favorites. because they are a "whatever" kinda book. whatever inspires me. whatever i want to express. whatever i want to create. no rules. no theme. whatever. i am excited about this new art journal and i love the cover!
yes, i am a little obsessed with the little circles that come out of the hole punch. i love the way the different colors and patterns look on projects. i punch holes out of real photographs and magazine ads rather than patterned paper. i think the colors are more vibrant that way.
i can't wait to fill it with all kinds of fun things.
and an outfit photo...i am taking a bunch of these for a layout i have planned. ah. i love clothes.:)
i know a lot of my scrapbooking friends and i used to keep in touch via facebook. i have gotten a few emails asking what happened to my account. i decided to delete it. and i am SO glad that i did. the reasons were many. it's a time waster. and i have so little free time. and on a deeper level, i just didn't feel it was healthy in my life. i talk on the phone or text or email with those that i love. and that's how i like it. and it frees up time to do more creative and fun things. like make art. or make out with my boyfriend. :) one of my goals this year is to simplifly so that i can live more. do more. see more. experience more. so my life is now facebook free. and better for it.
have a great day guys! see ya soon!
LOVE that bracelet! And I like the idea of taking a few outfit pics. I actually skimmed through some of my pics last night and found a couple! Thought I was weird for taking them, now I know I'm not. :) Can't wait to see your layout.
Oh and so glad you're back!
