Scraggin’ (scrappin + bloggin)

July 8, 2008 by Elaine

Lately I’ve been looking for more inspiration for my scrapbooking and I bet y’all will never guess where I found it. Yep, on some blogs.

I really had no scope of how many wonderful ideas are out there until recently. So, in the interest of making sure the ideas keep flowing, I have started a scrapbooking blogroll to highlight some of the blogs I have found so far and will continue to add to it.

One of the blogs I came across is Adrienne’s and she’s started having sketch “challenges” in which she provides an inspirational sketch and us scrappers can complete a project based on the design. I missed the first one (although I suspect one of my future layouts will closely resemble it…) but I have entered the following page into her Sketch 2 challenge.

I don’t have pictures for it yet because I keep fogetting to take my camera to the pool. I know excuses, excuses. But I LOVED this paper for summer/pool fun and couldn’t just let it sit there any longer. And now I have a goal to make sure I take some pics of water fun before the summer is out! (way to catch up on the kazillion pics that I ALREADY have, huh?)

I still kind of feel like this page needs some additional ebelishment but maybe that will come to me once I get the pictures down. I am just proud of myself for accomplishing something. Hope I can keep it up and next time I will try to do a layout that actually has pictures to go with it! Yeah, that’d probably good…
