It's slow going - but I'm scrapbooking again. I don't have the best pictures to share. I'm really into Instagram right now and I think it's a perfect app for sharing my more personal layouts. So without further ado...

This layout was a little tricky. It was based loosely on a
sketch from
Scrap Friends and I realized it was all wrong because my sweet nephew was looking towards the outside of the album. I made the changes and it came together. It was a good first step back into the fray.

I had seen a lot of crafters take on this paper and was super excited to use it. There was only one problem...The ultrasound photo had so much black it needed to be more prominent in the overall scheme. I decided to outline each and every piece of paper with my black distress ink marker. It's hard to tell in this photo - but it helped make the elements pop and gave some unity to the layout.

I loved doing this layout. My niece had sent me a video the night before and I knew I just had to scrapbook what she said. I had a lot of fun mixing papers and embellishments. I also loved the spray mist effect.
So that's it for now - I don't have any immediate plans to scrapbook but my muse is definitely no longer on permanent hiatus. It's nice to see her again. I hope everyone is having a great Monday. Until then...
