Struggling with Challenge #5
Ok, I'm really struggling here! There have been many people and experiences that have touched and molded my life. But to journal about them? I sit here staring at my screen wondering, "What the heck am I gonna do?"
It's not that I can't think of anything to scrap; I can think of lots of experiences and people to scrap. I can think of words to say; but I'm too wordy to make anything fit on a page! I can think of simpler examples, but don't have pictures that I feel would match them.
~~AARRGGHHH~~

Challenge 3
I've finished Challenge #3, with a "Once Upon A Time" theme and posted it over at DSP. The story behind the pictures can be read over on my blog. For this layout, I used Vintage Damask Papers from PaperMoons and a Grungy Frame from CSmith.

Challenge 2 Completed!
Amy and I have finished our next challenge. We used 2 pics of Amy's daughter, Jassie grunge papers, flower and lace tie from "denim flair" by Ruth Singer. Amy made the ribbon and bow; and I made the cluster and background layout. Do you realize how long it takes to make all those little X's for those stitches?!? ~sigh~
While this is good practice for me, one of these days, I'm going to find a faster way of doing this stuff! *LOL*
Amy also introduced me to Hello.com. What a kewl little program! We could scrap and chat at the same time while showing each other what we were each doing, LIVE TIME! Of course the down side is that poor Amy could see how truly slow I am at this stuff and had to be tortured by my "end of the road" ambivalence....get all the way to the end and change my mind a dozen times about placement and colors. She finally said "I think that's fine" which we all know was her very nice and gracious way of saying, "TAKE YOU HAND AWAY FROM THE MOUSE, STOP MESSING WITH IT FOR PETE SAKE AND HIT THE SAVE BUTTON!!" *LOL*
Anyways, here's our final result:

And I'm off!
I've officially started the race! Here's my first challenge for the ADSR #2! We scrapped an amazing museum and mine is the National Postal Museum. I've been there twice now and I love seeing all the old letters, the feeling of looking back into our nation's history. But it's a different view than you'd normally get because this deals more with the personal. You get to see letters written home from the military, the very first mail order catalog. Stamps that honor the past and present. It's cool to see how effective communication has really impacted our world now and in the past.
This LO has just about zero credits. I made the paper bkgd, the font is Arial and the photos either I took or are from the National Postal Museum's website.
I can't wait for the new challenge tomorrow!
