a new layout!

it's been forever since i last made a scrapbook page. because i have been home sick with the flu, i have been checking out all of the new products at 2peas, and although i would love to by them, i cannot. you see, years ago i was scrapbooking daily. i was on a few design teams and had a few items published in magazines and books. my best friend owned an online scrapbook store. i always had the newest products. shopping for new supplies was almost as fun as using them. needless to say, my stash grew.

after my family and i had to move across country and move all of those supplies, i decided that i need to use up what i have. so, i did this layout of my son for 2 challenges. one at 2peas; to use a circle on a layout and the other for the february challenge at sketchbook 365. it felt good to scrap again and i actually did 2 other layouts that i will share later.

  4. I'm delighted that the 365 sketch had a hand in getting you scrapping again! It's a beautiful layout. I love it. (..and I'm also thinking about how much fun it would be to have a friend who ran an online store..)
