I scrapped!!

[Kim1964]

While the kids were happily playing with their new Wii yesterday, I decided the time had come to get over my scrap-paralysis and go do a couple of pages. I decided to do the LO for the Christmas cookie baking the kids and I did on Christmas Eve. I went into my scrap area determined to NOT dwell on the choices for too long....pick some paper (red, green, cream, black, brown, and one sheet of gingerbread man patterned paper), pick a font (Storybook), cut some shapes that mimic the cookies we made (George, SYI), stickle them (red and green to look like the colored sugar we used) and put it together.

I had a blast! I inked the edges of the photo mats and journal box. I used TWO Cuttlebug embossing folders (one for the "plate" I cut from DCT and one for the title letters), and finished the pages off with photo corners from Jasmine on the note the kids left for Santa with the cookies. I've never used the embossing folders before and was happy to discover that I owned the snowflake one. I've never used photo corners, either, and it really made the page look finished.

The point is, I just went and did it. I didn't agonize over every little thing, and some of it (like cutting out a plate and using the embossing folders) came to me as I went along, and I had FUN!!! Depending on how today goes, I may try to get the kids' school pictures done.

Way to go Kim - it's not so much a matter of time, it's simply just "doing!" You'll be back to it in no time. Caroline
