Scenic Route

Here are my projects for my Scenic Route review on Scrap Shanty. I had fun working with their Loveland collection. As always, I tried to do two very different layouts to show the collection's versatility.Journaling: I think you’re really precious and cute! In a studly, manly kind of way, of course. (Scenic Route sticker)
Techniques: I cut up a quote sticker to fit my design. And I cut up a sticker to fit inside an arrow.

I must apologize for my serious drop in posts. I have found myself incredibly busy. Having our house on the market has turned out to be more of an emotional drain than I had previously expected. It is really hard to always be 15-minutes-to-perfection. Anyone who has been to my home knows that I'm on the messy side. Although, I have learned that I am much happier when my house is in order. So, when we move I'd like to keep up the cleanliness, but not the stress.

On a slightly happier note, here are the pictures of the album that I sent to someone special for Christmas. I think that this is my finest mini-album to date. My creative juices were extra juicy or something because I look at it and can't believe that I actually made it which is why it is so tragic that she hasn't received it. It was either lost or irreparably damaged in transit, but I want to prove that I really did send something and if she doesn't receive it soon, I'll start working on something to replace it. So, leave me a comment, G.T., and let me know the status, okay?
