OLW #40: Energy

I jumped in and played along with the OLW challenge blog this week. The word up was "Energy". Ha! Me? Energy? Yeah, well, here's my layout.....

scrappiness to share :)

Playing catch up yet once again.....and I still have more to scan and upload! LOL

One more before vaca!

Finished this one up last night for the Back to Your Scraps challenge at Scrapperie. I just love these type of challenges! Forces me to use up some of that stuff that I just HAD to have. LOL

As far as the layout goes....I was sailing right along, pretty much satisfied with the way it was turning out....UNTIL....until I added the title, then ugh!! I was having a hard time picking out letters for the title anyway and then ended up missing the mark....BAD! Oh well, what's done is done and I'm not going to redo it now.

It's not over 'til the fat lady sings....

and I ain't singing!!! My creative juices just keep oozing from every orifice! (Isn't that a nice little visual?! HA!) Just to prove it, here is one more layout for the holiday weekend. And in case you lost count, that brings my running total up to 4 layouts!! Yep, count 'em....4!!! Oh, I'm on a roll, baby! :)

So here is the deal...

It's a fact that I haven't scrapped much lately. I was coming to the sad realization that my creativeness had eluded me. I was ready to throw in the towel. Hang it up. Clear it out. But THEN, something happened this weekend! Something just clicked, and I whipped out 3 layouts....one right after the other!! Aaah, it feels so good to be back in the swing of things!!

Pencil Lines Sketch #92

I was so in the mood to scrap Sunday, but lately I'm having the hardest time getting started!! Can't decide on a pic, can't decide on my papers, can't decide what format to use....it's pathetic, I tell ya!! So anyway, I'm all the time visiting the Pencil Lines blog to get inspiration 'cause that DT over there rocks the sketches every week!! And when I saw the new sketch for this week, let's just say the spirit hit me!! This is what I came up with.

Let's try this again.

I don't really know why I thought I could keep a blog updated regularly. Maybe because I'm not scrapping as much as I used to? Between working evening shift and it being summer, I'm just not being as productive. That being said, I do have a few projects to show you.

These first couple of cards are the sketches at My Sketch World for May and June. I also have my July card finished, but you'll have to wait 'til the end of the month to see it. Make sure you go ahead and check out the blog to see all the great sketches!






















And here are a couple of layouts that I've whipped up...
