10/05/15 -"Um Guys?"

Happy Monday!!!

I had a very busy weekend... but I made myself find time to scrapbook!

I guess that's just what I'm going to have to do...although before it wasn't JUST about time, it was also about lack of inspiration.

Now that I'm feeling that I may have my "mojo" back, I will make myself "schedule" some creative time each week.

My husband is very supportive of it and had recently (about a month ago) asked me why I "don't scrapbook anymore?" I didn't even realized he noticed!

So w/ his support and my itching to create, I gave myself a 2 hour window to scrap yesterday evening.

It took me most of that 2 hours to figure out what photos I was going to scrap and how (don't you just hate that)!  But eventually it came together (click on image to enlarge):

 

 

"Um Guys?"

 

Journaling reads: "Whenever I look at these photos, especially the 2nd one, I always imagine Panini has something to say to us about us getting a pig. 7.24.15"

 

 

For those who do not follow me on Instagram, let me share some background info:

 

This is our cat Panini and our (daughter's) pet mini-potbelly pig Hamlet.

We got Hamlet in May at 12 weeks old so this photo is after 2 months of him growing.

This is the first time I have ever scrapped Hamlet but plan to do so a lot more in the future! 

 

I created this for the "October Scrap Your Pet Challenge" over at SB.com.

I did not include the twist of torn paper.

I didn't mean to exclude the twist, it's just sometimes I forget about it until after I'm finished w/ my layout. Some twists are easy to add in after the fact, some not-so-much.

I also challenged myself: I had the BG paper in my stash for quite a while now (about a year and 1/2) and had no idea what to do w/ it... I finally forced myself to figure it out!

 

So 2 challenges met and, most importantly, another layout created! Whoo-hoo!
