I don't know why I seem to find almost no time for my scrapbooking/card making/stamping anymore. I made a whole bunch of stuff not long after the babies were born and yet I do almost nothing now. Of course, I didn't have the computer then and that might have had something to do with. *shrug*
Nowadays I only seem to do something when I have to. I was in one card exchange group that sort of fell apart, and then I signed up for another group that I've missed both times. But these are what I made for it. This group does a theme each month and in March they had a dessert recipe exchange. But this is not your typical recipe exchange....this is all about who can present their recipe in the cutest way.
And I have a confession to make....I've never even made my recipe. I found it online because it went with a S'more stamp I had. That's how much it is not about the recipe. It was fun anyway.......
And here is my baby card from February. When I take pictures of my cards they never seem to turn out so I tried scanning this time. It seemed to work pretty well except for it seems to mess with the colors a bit. The green paper and the green words in the stamp are supposed to be the same. So that's it. The extent of my craftiness for February and March. I have a feeling it's going to get more seldom rather than more often from here on out. But I figured I'd share anyway. If you like the scrapbooking/stamping stuff you have to check out my friend Emily's blog. She's the expert!
I know why I don't scrapbook anymore. It's so much work to get it all down and put it away - and if you leave it out the kids get into it and it gets all disorganized! I do miss scrapbooking! I love your card & recipe. You are very talented.
ReplyDeleteI'm with Dione.
ReplyDeleteThat and I was trying to do more scrapping and then ended up with a husband who walked out on me, thus ending my "nights out" at crops once a month. And I say that totally laughing, because it just occurred to me how very very long it's been since I made a page. Wow.
Ummm, I should really clarify that. ;-)
ReplyDeleteMy FIRST husband walked out on me - during a time that I was trying to get the agreed-upon "me" time....his "me" time was spent on motorcycles with his buddies. My "me" time was supposed to be a night out to scrap with my mom at a local store - one night a month. I got two nights - he got a girlfriend who became his mistress who became (ultimately - the poor gal!) his wife..... and I got no more time to dedicate to scrapping. But it's okay - I ultimately got a WAY awesome husband....and my son!.... out of the deal. So I praise G*d for her whenever I snuggle my son.
Love, love the s'mores stamp and your s'mores page looks really cute! Where did you find that stamp? Love the page and yes, I am a slacker scrapbooker with no time to scrapbook/stamp because I am way too busy with the kid stuff. So, I am gathering and hoarding-just so you know. :)
ReplyDeleteYour recipe is adorable!
ReplyDeleteIt is hard to find time to scrapbook. Lately, I've done a lot of digital stuff because it's sometimes less time consuming (plus no mess).
I have some projects posted on my scrapbooking blog, if you want to check it out!
The baby card is so sweet. :)
Mrs. Chattypants- It is from Stampin Up! It is a camping set called Under the Stars. My friend Emily that I mentioned in the post sells.
ReplyDeleteReally cute cards! They look like a lot of work, so good for you for taking a few minutes for yourself. Frankly, I haven't scrap booked much since I got married. I just can't seem to find the time and I am always feeling guilty and behind about it. I just feel like unless every picture ever taken (digital + thousands:)) needs to be cute and displayed and scrapped in order to feel like an accomplished on-top-of-it modern Mom. I wonder what pioneer women spent time feeling guilty about? Not knitting enough socks or packing things neatly in the wagon maybe. Ohh poor us, we missed the good old days! I hope you can find some time to catch up with your girlie time, don't forget to take time for you when you REALLY need it.
ReplyDeleteI love your cards! It really makes me want to get out my scrapbooking stuff and make something. I use to be so good at it until my first child got into everything and then I had child # 2. I tell myself if I had a scrapbooking room then I would do it more often, but probably not.haha that is how life works!
ReplyDeleteVery cute. I do think it is time for some more crafting. Come on over!

PS...thanks for the plug! Maybe I should update my blog now. I seem to let that one go since I don't think many look at it.
