finally. a new scrap.

i know i made the page with the new heidi grace stuff a couple weeks ago, but i still feel like i haven't scrapped in forever. i guess by "scrapped" i mean made something where i actually felt creative. that page was super quick, and i didn't really play around with my stuff much in making it. tonight though... i was inspired, and i'm loving the results.

may posted a journaling challenge tonight [right up my alley, so i guess it was more of a "go make something!" with emphasis on the exclamation mark challenge.] along with a few posts about scrapping-mojo-restoration strategies... so i was feeling doubly inspired. plus i was just having a blah night... borderline bad mood in fact. so i decided that instead of crossing the line to bad mood and/or doing organic spec homework, i would test the waters and see if i could spark up some creativity. and. it worked!

this is probably one of my favorite pages. my mojo-restoration strategy of choice tonight was looking through old photos. these ones are seriously old. :] my mom brought me three boxes of older photos when i started scrapbooking, so i sometimes go through them and look for a good one. this one was in an envelope with some other photos of alex and me. i'm assuming his mom took them and gave copies to my mom. and yes, i used the original photo. an original with no negative in our possession. i don't feel bad about this or like there is anything at all wrong with it. and you know why? because at least now someone will see the photo. sitting in the box... not so much. no one except me ever looks in those boxes. but in my scrapbook... maybe. [people don't tend to look in those all that often either, but on occasion they do. plus now you get to see the photo too! ha.] so yeah.

i'm going to wait until the morning to get a better photo of it. i'll add it here when i do.

ok. i'm off to bed. & & it's only 12:30. woot. :]
tomorrow = class + bike ride or walk + homework + studying. eek.
goodnight.

eta: i finally got the photo uploader thingy to work, so here it is...
i used new + old scenic route papers, ki lace cardstock, ac vinyl thickers, heidi grace dimensional stickers, plus some buttons from my stash. :]
