Mix It Up Monday


Subtitle:  Confessions of a Neglectful Blogger

I've missed being in touch.  I've missed creating with paper.  The time away passed so quickly while all the projects at home moved so slowly.  And, they are not finished.  But, I didn't have any fun pictures to post and I didn't want to give you excuses.  Furthermore, as I return, I'm hesitant to say that I'm back.  Like I said there is more to be done here.

But, I am feeling some momentum....

As I perused some of my favorite challenge blogs, I viewed three challenges consecutively that just came together at once.  It started with the CR84FN Color Challenge

The current combination makes me think of Jillibean Kraft papers that are made with brown and partnered with red papers. I hadn't done any pages since I started projects again in my scraproom so I was eager to get one in.  That is when I viewed Creative Scrappers and a fun sketch design.

As I looked at the pictures from our carnival day with the boys in red shirts, I went back to surfing the internet.  That is when I saw the adorable balloons on Sketch Support. 
Thus, a quick, easy and fun page was born.  Best yet, I'm able to build my rapport with any of you who chose to pay me a visit ands say a thing or two,...yay!!

Thanks for the visit.  Have a blessed day!!
