What's your next big project?

I forgot to post an inspiration yesterday! Sorry ladies...
Hope this makes up for it. Thought this was pretty cute ;)

The EVOLUTION of A SCRAPBOOKER

1. "Cut a picture? You've got to be kidding!"

2. "Well those sure are cute pages. I'm not that creative."

3. "You have IDEA BOOKS? Let me see."

4. "I guess I'll need an album, some adhesives, and paper."

5. "Oh, and I'll also need some templates, stickers, die cuts, & one of those trimmer things."

6. "I can't get my page to look exactly like the one in the book!"

7. "You mean I have to write in my album I will need some pens. What should I write?"

8. "I finished my first page. Do you like it?"

9. "You know I have a ton of zoo pictures, and Jr. needs his school pages done; I need another album & some more paper."

10. "You have printed paper? And precut paper? I'll take one of each!"

11. "NEW STICKERS? I'll take some!"

12. "NEW DIECUTS? I'll need those!"

13. "A NEW TOOL! I NEED THAT!"

14. "A NEW IDEA BOOK? GIVE ME THAT NOW!"

15. "Wow- even bags and binders to get my supplies organized? I definitely need those!"

16. "Sorry honey, you'll have to make dinner- I'm off to a crop!"

17. "Clean socks are in the dryer!"

18. "HOLD IT! I HAVE to get a picture of that for the scrapbook."

19. "Would you please wear this shirt? I have the cutest paper to use in my layout and that will match perfectly!"

20. "YES, I came up with the idea myself."

21. "YES, that is my own handwriting."

22. "YES, I make time to scrapbook."

23. "Honey, we need to add a room to the house for my Scrapping room."

24. "Life is crazy. I just need to crop!"

25. Tax time: "Yes, scrapbooking is a medical deduction--it's my THERAPY."

When do you start making your Christmas cards and projects?

I'm giving away a "Back to School RAK" on my blog. See details here.

Thought this was a cool photo-- great colors too!

Can you remember what your first layout was about?

Are you a themed scrapper, will you be picking up the new Halloween lines and doing a Halloween layout?

Do you used textured or smooth cardstock more often?

I have been loving everything vintage lately. Check out these cool vintage and retro images below for some inspiration:

Do you check out the Etsy shops for homemade items to include on your layouts, cards and mini projects? Do you have your own Etsy shop?

I'm totally diggin' the new Pink Paislee line "Old School" ... check it all out here:

What is the one thing that you do or include in every layout you create?

This isn't really inspiration...but it's funny! And it shows sneaky people don't win (and I like that!)

Check it out - there's a prize too!

Do you use a ruler and craft knife or a trimmer? How precise are you on your cuts??

I use my trimmer allll the time. If things are a little off, or a little crooked, I say it's artistic expression ;)

Some Gallery Inspiration: Enjoy! :)
