Texas Scrapfest I-Crop Take 3

If you haven't figured it out by now I am having an absolute blast scrapbooking via the 2010 Texas Scrapfest. www.texasscrapfest.com

Here was the challenge that inspired this layout:  Un-clutter your page. Employ a good bit of white space, while at the same time helping your photo stand out with circles, a pennant banner and a whimsical title.

Journaling: IT is hard for me to understand where the time has gone with you. What happen to that little pudgy nephew of mine who loved playing with his dog and hunting with Grandpa?
It really hit me when we were all at Alicia’s wedding. The beautiful bride Alicia, your sister Jess all dolled up in her bridesmaid dress and Seth all handsome in his Tux.....and then there was you. I am use to seeing you in a wrestling singlet, bluejeans and a Newman Grove Sweatshirt with Boschen on the back.
Here you were all dressed up. You have always been kind of my little boy.
You have a heart of gold and you are a wonderful nephew. i am so proud of you Sheldon. I know you will be a terrific man but for now to me you are still that little boy who for some reason stole his Aunt Kristin’s heart........

I have been busy working on mine and am soooooooooooooo happy have gotten my Scrapping groove back.

Here is my first layout.

Here is the challenge that Lesle posted: It's all about you! Your page must showcase a recent photo of you. You should also share some of your favorite things with us: book/magazine, color, website dessert, etc.


I went a little away from the Norm on the requirements.......but I do love this layout...and I do love my scrapbooking pals. 

I decided to include my journaling: Lately I have been struggling with a bit of an identiy crisis if you want to call it that. I feel as though I just don’t measure up with many of the woman my age or older. They all seem so polished and together and I feel dazed and confused. It is kind of a challenge for me and something I can’t completely identify. Almost four months have passed and all the things that I use to enjoy are no longer as enjoyable to me.  The thing I missed the most was scrapbooking. I kind of got out of sorts and stayed that way. However, all it took was a small reconnection with a group of people who I admire and respect and my broken give a darn just might be on the mend. I am also getting some of my long lost mojo back which makes me happy. I miss being  creative. I miss creating something that makes me feel happy. I miss  the me that I felt measured up.....but she just might be on her way back.
