More layouts

Here are two more I did today (click to see larger versions):

I want to say how thankful I am to have found this art form—it’s the cheapest hobby I’ve had in years! And it’s doing wonders for my creativity in other areas. I make a layout or two and suddenly I’m flooded with ideas for my novel or for physical art products (filled up two pages of paper today with sketches of ideas).

And this weekend is National Scrapbooking Day…I kid not…and oh boy, the sales and events gearing up at all the online digiscrap stores! So far there are twenty—yes, TWENTY—such stores that I plan to hit for sales. Sales such as goodies going for $1, or not much more than that, not to mention freebies and contests and whatnot. I’ve got a budget set for it, and I’m actually tickled to see how far it’s going to go. This must be what lures people into flea market scouring, lol…the chance to pick up a lot of stuff for hardly any money. It lets you feel like you’re “splurging” by shopping without actually spending much at all.

But I’m going to end up needing a second external hard drive pretty soon to hold all the goodies, which kills the “cheap hobby” description…heh.

    I picked up some wonderfully yummy things at Nature’s Food Patch today, the most local-to-me organic & natural food store. I then made a fantastic (very) late lunch that included a huge plate of mixed greens, a few marinated green olives, freshly made hummus (made by the Patch, not by me), some olive tortilla chips…

    Ok, so it’s not even Thanksgiving yet, but I could not resist making the first winter/xmas layout of the year. ;) Made with the gorgeous kit “Esprit de Noel.” More soon! :)
