i am enjoying the kR march kits so much and had a little epiphany last night while i was finishing the layout below. i love cutting paper. i do. big strips, little strips, bits & pieces and especially all of the lovely left over scraps. those are the parts that i enjoy working with the most.
each and every time i try to do something more, like for example the layout i tried creating {and then trashed, so you won't see it... thank goodness i kept an extra paper pack this month!} i get stuck. I see others who inspire me so much with their painterly work on their los {like my dear & amazing friends dina & debee} and it just doesn't work out for me when i add paint and mists. i think finally, after creating with this kit, finally i'm ok with that. i'll just admire and swoon over their work instead. lol
but, i must add, i still love & worship my gesso and paint and working with it on fabric and mixed media projects, but when i'm scrapping i just want my embellies and scraps of paper. of course, it only took me three years of scrapping to finally have that "ah-ha" moment. lol
i've also noticed that my style flows from the detailed with layers of embellies to the very sparse diy look, which is exactly what my projects this month are. kind of like the layers of clothing i'm shedding as our beautiful sonoma county begins it's slow walk towards spring.
the doors are open for a few hours in the afternoon. the kids are laughing while playing in the sun out back or riding bikes in the cul-de-sac and my little paper strips are being layered and cut and my photos and stories are beginning to come back out.
oh happy day!!
in other news i have a flat-rate usps destash box that is packed to the hilt with papers and journaling pens and doodads and vintage and ribbons and stamps and kR kit items and who knows what else. actually i have a few boxes that i'm throwing items into as i clean out this studio, but today we're going to start with the one that is sealed shut.
so leave a comment and i'll pick a winner tomorrow morning. internationals can play too but you'll have to help pay for the postage as this is a personal giveaway {so please don't enter unless you are willing to do so} and that box can cost up to $40 depending on where you live. us deliveries will be paid by me.
happy thursday!
