wanna be .... scrapbooker

The last couple of months, I have felt like a 'wanna be' scrapbooker, because I have been blog hopping, looking, admiring, and have pretty much done nothing.


The only time I have been scrapping is at our monthly crop, and sometimes that didn't even help, because all I did was talk and eat Gill’s scrumptious cake!

I do need to find the balance between work, which takes up most of my time because I allow it; the house work, which has been neglected; and crafting , which is my only outlet because I am able to switch off from the work bit.....

I really want to do Project Life, inspired and created by Becky Higgins. It’s a wonderful way to document your day to day life, without spending too much time on the project. I will have to improvise with my own stash though because the kit, which is awesome, costs a small fortune in postage to the UK. Maybe I will still get it because it makes sense to use it because of time it saves; no measuring, cutting, everything is already done for you.

So here is the only stuff I have done since Oct 10 till now! All products from Studio Calico's various kits . See how bad I have been, only 5 layouts in how many months ? :(
