06/13/14 - Finally!

Finally some scrapping!
Nothing too elaborate though...
It's been such a long time so I just want to ease back into it.
 
 
"Another Xmas"
Journaling: "Ivanna, 14 yrs old, makes it to another Christmas. 12/18/13"
 
"Rock Star"
Journaling: "Drinks and Play Station Sing Star at Ryan and Nancy's.
Mine and David's voice were hoarse at the end of the night. 5/24/14
Pictured: Me, David, Nancy, Ryan and Melva
Not Pictured: Valerie, Mario, Dawn and Dominic "
 
 
If the pictures look a bit weird it's because I had to take pictures of the layouts and crop them and I'm not very good at that!


"Rock Star" was partly inspired by the current challenge over at "ARTastic" .
Here is their inspiration piece:

"The Jam Session" by by Max Mannix
JUNE inspiration - The Jam Session by Max Mannix
 
Unfortunately I forgot to include distressing, which is part of the criteria, so I won't be eligible for the prize...but since it was inspired by "ARTastic" I still wanted to mention them (and share it w/ them).
 
BTW - The B&W pic for the "Rock Star" layout was not an artistic choice. For some reason I can't get my printer to print in color anymore! WTHeck?! See what happens when you take a break?? Things fall apart! LOL! Luckily for this layout it worked out, but I really gotta figure out what the problem is...
 
Anyway, it felt good to get some scrapping done!
Don't know when I will scrap again...
Hopefully it won't be as long as last time!
Thanks for stopping by!

  1. Glad to see you scrapping again! Weird that your printer is on a color strike. Ours prints in color, but leaves two blank streaks down the center of whenever we print in color. Perfectly fine with b/w. So frustrating!

  5. Both nice layouts. I thought that was distressing (or grunging-up) around the B&W photos and the word boxes.
    Love your doggie too. I have one that nearly 17. Thanks for playing along with us at ARTastic.

  8. I agree, I like the b/w photos - if you hadn't mentioned it, no one would know it wasn't a choice you made for your page! :) Glad to see you back (even if just for a flash)! :)
