it's been a while since the regular postings on a Monday of the new sketch over at scrapbook challenges. this is all due to the site being moved and becoming a .com site. it had an overall make over and is simply beautiful - Brynn did a spectacular job with the site - classy fun and beautiful and very functional! so if you haven't been over there yet take a stroll and visit and become a member for some serious inspiration when you are creatively stuck. this week's sketch is another stunner and i love how this layout turned out.

some fun 'bear' cut outs were the inspiration behind this layout. not really my style but with some 'grown up' papers i made it work for me and love it. the title bar is covered in several layers of UTEE and then placed in the fridge for a few seconds, removed and then bent to form small cracks for extra texture and pattern.

i used a few - ok more than a few buttons on this layout. it takes a few simple things to make me happy creatively! i really don't need all those embellishments and funky stuff shops need to sell to make a buck while marking things up several hundred percent. yes i know i am treading closely to the edge as shops need to make money - but rip people off come on!

i have realized a lot of things lately. i have done a lot of introspection and have come to a lot of conclusions. i was so disappointed reading the blog recently who called someone "just plain useless....i was sad. cause i know people may think that about me too.

so writing what i was thinking i just erased...several times!
instead i am going to do some more introspection and try not to judge - 'cause i really don't know what people are going through!
i hope you have a stunningly creative week.
remember not to judge
'cause you really can't judge my journey until you have walked in my shoes.
