fun.

today i decided to have fun instead of study. i have a cell bio test coming up on tuesday, and i really need to study a lot for it, but today i just couldn't. so i finally got some scrapbooking done. i feel like it's been so long since i've finished a page. i've been trying, but i never finish completely to where i can share them. so here are the two that i made tonight. :]

this first one is for the fiskateers blog. saturday they are having a little "celebrate spring" thing, and it was encouraged to make a page about spring and post it on saturday. i was going to make a two-page layout because i have quite a few fun pictures from this little community service project that i did with my friends, but it was frustrating me to the point where it wasn't fun to work on. so i walked away for a bit and came back with a new idea for a one pager with a big cluster of some of the photos. i'm pretty happy with how it came out. it turns out that i ended up having a lot of fun with it.

this one is something i've had in my mind for so long. it didn't really come out the way i imagined it, but i was getting a little tired of looking at the pictures and not being able to do what i wanted to do with them. so again, i just had fun. this one is so simple, but it makes me happy. i'll probably end up adding some more to it at some point. maybe a little hambly transparency or something. what i would love to do it stitch around the edge of the page with some blue and green threads, but i still don't have a sewing machine. i guess this is like the 3rd or 4th time that i've used this picture. ha. funny thing... it might not be the last time either. :] i can't help it. i just really like this photo of me. makes me smile, which is always good.

one more thing i want to share with you that i can't believe i haven't shared yet... one of the ladies i know from my scrapbook store, angela [it feels weird to call her a friend since she's so much older than me, but she basically is a freind] is a designer for this online scrapbooking show called scrapbook lifestyle. it got picked up a little while back by scrapbooks etc. magazine and it's kind of fun to watch. so here is a link: http://my.bhgscrapbooksetc.com/premium/lifestyle/
you can buy a membership to view all the older ones, but i just watch the freebies... i don't know that it would be money well spent. [let me know if the link doesn't work.]

ok. i'm off to bed. james still has it in his mind that i am going snowboarding tomorrow with him. i'm still kind of trying to get out of it though because it takes so much energy and i have to wake up at 6:30 saturday morning. eeek.
