Here's my page using the kit. I'm actually planning on cutting it down to 6x12 - starting as of a few weeks ago, I'm giving Project Life a try (well, as soon as I get home to my printer and the page protectors). Last Sunday Diana and I drove up to Chicago for Mother's Day, since as a bonus we'd get to see two of our aunts. Extra bonus - we could start the move-out process early.</div>

And I must admit, that brown wooden paper has been a background staple for a handful of pages.<br />

I haven't posted in forever. In the crazy months since I've posted (in the last two weeks along have been a Mousescrappers Speed Scrap and Scrap Orchard's Scrapper Bowl), Crossbone Cuts is back at ScrapMatters! Which means, of course, Mix-a-Kit. These hearts and papers are super cute, and work just fine in a non-Valentine's layout.<br />

Here's a page I made using these elements. I don't really talk much about my (not-)puppy Peyton, as every time I go to scrap about him he does something delightful like mark on my rug or gnaw on my hand a little bit. Well, actually, he had a few unpleasant teeth taken out and has been much happier and friendlier. He's also a runner - once he takes off, he's impossible to catch.<br />

It's DSD weekend, so naturally I've cleared my schedule (except for that dratted football game) to partake in as many events as possible. One such event is, of course, shopping the sales and new goodies/grab bags. Crossbone Cuts has a whopping *THREE* new grab bags in ScrapMatters today! First up is a <a href="http://shop.scrapmatters.com/product.php?productid=10214&cat=12&page=1">collab</a> with WM[squared], perfect for wintry pictures. All of the grab bags have a full reveal in the shop for the more impatient among us :)<br />

It's hard, because while I now have a ton of fresh pictures to scrap (I made the list - between the Halloween parties and the 108 characters (!!!), the preliminary page count is 136), I still haven't finished my Italy book or my May Disney trip. Alas, such woe - too many things to scrap :D<br />

</tbody></table><div>I've also been working a bit on this trip. Perhaps ill-advised, but so many pictures and new things to scrap! Have a mentioned I've been character stalking? 108 CHARACTERS. New ones. Does anyone have a good kit for the 7 Dwarves, Tarzan and Jane, the Step Family, Prince Phillip, Duffy, Playhouse Disney characters, Phineas and Ferb? Or Sugar Ray. There was a Sugar Ray concert that we stumbled upon - the lead singer is also a cowbell player, so cowbell elements would be super cool.</div><div><br />

</tbody></table><div>Did I mention we met six princes, Tarzan, Terrence/Peter Pan (let's be honest, same nose and frantic energy) and the Mad Hatter? SO MANY MALE FACE CHARACTERS. Also, they were approximately ten times more fun than the princesses. Actually, all the male characters are a lot more fun when you travel without your parents. Chip checked my hand for a wedding ring; Max walked off with us, got chastised by Goofy, who then took us for himself; King Louie was a total player; Duffy also tried to remove us from the Halloween party; and Handy Manny (!) tried to take us off as his dinner dates. I kind of wanted to see the looks on the preschoolers' faces for that one. </div>Laurahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03737616599773463119noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3474112839907324776.post-71789098448604242602011-10-27T22:40:00.000-04:002011-10-27T22:40:22.147-04:00Scrappily Me CT!It's been a while since I updated (a trip to Disney will do that), but I have news in the meantime.

And I mean legal in the now I can go to bars and figure out loop holes of blue laws and such (answer: nearest Walmart in a different state is 15 minutes away). I've also been scrapping - so much scrapping! Fall tv started back up, and this is what I do during commercials. Realistically, I should be translating hieroglyphs, but that's neither here nor there.<br />

There are two coordinating parts - <a href="http://shop.scrapmatters.com/product.php?productid=10009">I Heart Fall</a> and <a href="http://shop.scrapmatters.com/product.php?productid=10010">Fall Fail</a>. It's perfect - one is appropriate for autumns up north, where our campus becomes the most gorgeous place in the Midwest while the leaves change, and the smaller Fall Fail add-on is perfect for fall breaks back home, where it's still hot and sunny. Fun fact: in Houston, we lose our leaves in the spring. When the new green leaves push out the old green leaves. Yay seasons? Both kits are also <a href="http://shop.scrapmatters.com/product.php?productid=10008&cat=152">bundled up</a> together for a discount.<br />

I've been still scrapping diligently, as the September double points at ScrapMatters is irresistible. So many things being accomplished! I also picked out my 125 favorite photos from last semester and had them printed, so in a week or so I'll have a lovely collage for my wall. There are still several decorating type things I need to get done this weekend, though.<br />

For real. I took the GRE this morning, and conquered it. I conquered it like I was a Roman and it was Carthage. Or Greece. Or something that is conquered beneath my mighty empire of awesome. And I did it on four hours of sleep and a caffeine hangover (which is a new discovery for me - turns out my body has decided it no longer wants caffeine after dinner). Also, this week, I was honored with not <a href="http://gallerystandouts.scrapmatters.com/wp/?p=1410">one</a>, not <a href="http://gallerystandouts.scrapmatters.com/wp/?p=1405">two</a>, but <a href="http://gallerystandouts.scrapmatters.com/wp/?p=1418">THREE</a> GSO's on ScrapMatters! I love that site. Love it to pieces. Bragging rights are mine. Especially while I was scrapping every single one of those pages, I should have been learning geometry for the last standardized test of my life.<br />
<br />
I also had my first proper shift at work today, as Monday didn't really count - nothing like running across campus, arriving five minutes late and sweaty, and doing homework for an hour and a half hoping no one needs Greek tutoring without warning, because that language is so one year ago. That didn't count. Today was a proper shift, one where I earned my keep by tutoring a very nice girl (who may or may not be a grad student). I have a feeling that I'll be getting a lot of kids from her section - one has already transferred out into my Latin class.<br />
<br />
So here are my "I should be learning math but screw it, football starts this Saturday and there are still double stuf oreos left" pages. I have also embraced my whimsical side, and as such have adapted my journaling style to match. Having said that, here is page with no journaling. Ah, speed scraps. They are my curse and blessing.<br />

</tbody></table>Double pager for Andrea's 100th Weekly Challenge at Mousescrappers. It's a choose your own! With the most awesome Britt prize. The double pager was not necessary, but, as the saying goes, "Go big or go home."<br />
<div><br />
</div><div>Here's the journaling:<br />
<br />
Journaling: Rapunzel is my favorite princess, so meeting her was my one absolute must do. The skirts were even timed for meeting her! We tried to wait in the morning, but our entry was going to interfere with our Crystal Palace reservations. We came back for the secret 6pm show. The stage was gorgeous, and in the background they played music from the soundtrack. Diana and Laura decided they wanted to color with the little kids. The photopass lady askd us which little ones were our and their names, so we got to tell her we had the big girls! It was so cute - she took candids, then called their names so they could smile and pose.<br />
<br />
Rapunzel and Flynn were so nice! After signing my book, Rapunzel complimented our skirts. I told her that she needed to get on the gift shops so we could match her, and she joked that she didn’t think that that’s a good idea because she might have to make them all herself. Then she set up our photo using her artist’s eye - complete with finger framing. After the photo, Karen, having seen him show off the crown to the girls in front of us, asked him if he had something special in his satchel. He showed us the crown, but said he had to be careful with it, as the last time the two of them had been riding, it had flown off Rapunzel’s head! We were sworn to secrecy about this, our course - it wouldn’t do for her parents to find out.<br />

Classics major hardcore. As a result, I will be examining all of the last week's layouts on a scale of how hardcore they are.<br />
<br />
First up: Diana's Dante Cupcakes. 10/10, because they contain pictures of red velvet (i.e., hellfire) cupcakes with little fondant sinners, some of whom are encased in Twizzlers flames. And references to Roman art, <i>Fantasia</i>, <i>Lion King, Rome, </i>and <i>Jesus Christ Superstar</i>.<br />

I've finally seen all (well, just about all, with any luck - I have a rug and two chairs in hall storage) my dorm junk together, and it fills the back of my mother's van. Yikes. At least if my room looks like an episode of Hoarders, I won't have a roommate silently resenting me for it. I have been scrapping, despite the fact we basically have been driving for two and a half days, visiting family, and being on the errand-running end of a freshman move-in. I also did my Halloween page, but since we went to a nightclub that night, well, that's just one for the photobook.<div><br />

There were two new releases yesterday - <a href="http://shop.scrapmatters.com/product.php?productid=9792&cat=298&page=1">Journaling Paints and Splats</a> and <a href="http://shop.scrapmatters.com/product.php?productid=9781&cat=298&page=1">One Love Templates V.1</a>. The journaling splats are quite useful. And, although I don't have a lot of single-picture layouts to do anymore, the templates are quite handy for the few I do have (and more pictures could probably be easily added.<br />

It's been a busy last week - I only have one more week before we drive up to school, which will severely cut down on my amount of free time. <br />

Yeah, right - I barely made it through March, although I do theoretically have over 50 pages documenting the rest of the year).<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div><br />

A giant Easter egg! Dora had already told us about the Italian tradition of huge eggs (Fabio had gotten her one several feet high when they were dating), so Margaret Kristin and I decided to buy own own little Easter eggs at Despar. I found a Disney princess one, Margaret had Tom and Jerry, and Kristin had Barbie. My prize was an inflatable princess crown, which was pretty sweet. Later that afternoon the whole Centro gathered for the cracking of the egg. Alison tore into it, and pretty soon we were all divying up huge chunks of rather thick chocolate to take back to our rooms for lunch. </span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 1px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 1px;"><br />

Since Diana had just read the Inferno, we had to go in. She had liked the Roman beef salad I’d had a few days earlier, so she tried to order it here. Unfortunately, her Italian was not up to par so the waiter thought she wanted steak and a salad. Oops! They brought her a steak the size of her head and still on the bone! Once she got over the disappointment, she did enjoy the steak, although she could hardly put a dent in all that meat.</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 1px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 1px;"><br />

The shadows go both up and down and are much bolder than the ones I normally use, but I really like the effect. The save for web action is pretty sweet, too. I'd never run an action before, but it was a breeze to use. It stops after the boost and sharpen but before resizing, in case you want to stop and save for printing. If not, then it zooms straight into resizing. I had no idea actions were that fun to watch :)<br />

I really liked the soft colors in here - they were so easy to play around with and are so perfect for a school layout.<br />
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">Here's a page I made using all four pieces. I really loved the blue papers and elements. The picture is from when we still lived in Florida. During my senior year of high school, my sister and I scanned in a ton of our favorite pictures of ourselves spanning from birth to present day for a school project, so I have all these old photos on my hard drive. They've been super useful when I don't feel like scrapping Italy or Disney, but still want to work on something. I think I'll probably end up printing all these "random" pages, along with a few of the Digi Dare type pages, into some sort of All About Me album, which I can them adjust and rearrange and add to as often as I see fit.</div><div><br />
