Remember Scrapbooking?

It's been a while!

I don't know if you are like this too, but my scrapbooking mojo seems to ebb and flow. Lately I've been making a lot of cards but not too many layouts. Other times cards are like pulling hen's teeth and scrapbooking flows effortlessly. What I have noticed though is that I have a hard time moving from one to the to the other which is unexpected as they both are goofing around with paper, scissors and glue. It's kind of like writing prose and poetry. Each year after NaNoWriMo I have a horrible time trying to write poems again.

One of my goals has been to incorporate more stamping in my LOs. Stamping is awesome because after the initial cost of the stamps and ink you can use them forever - unlike that package of alphas with all the e's missing. And stamps like signs and banners make great spots for journaling and titles.

Here's a LO I made with some of the images from the upcoming release at Odd Bird Planet:

Sorry the pics aren't great, we are having a huge snow storm and it's very dark out.

On the home front, we still don't have our tree up. The weather has been so mild we haven't been feeling it. But we are playing carols, have cinnamon, cloves and fruit peels simmering on the stove and Elvis crooning through our speakers. Maybe tonight we'll get the tree up. We'll see.
