What inspires me

Here is the finished product, as far as I can tell. It's pretty short, but I really like it. There are actually a few more pages I didn't scan because I already had on my flickr account, so I'm working on getting them on here...
The cover overlay is an orange/clear plastic piece from an old presentation that I scrounged at work. Each page is hand cut from a marketing booklet for an apartment complex we visited in Phoenix. Practically everything is found except the letters, stickers and scraps of patterned paper. (Some of those were found, too.)

It's SO much cooler in person, I really wish these scans could convey it properly. I certainly have a lot to learn about scrapbooking, though, and am still not content with about 40% of the pages I make. Maybe when I have more time on my hands... hahahahahahahaha

Hopefully this photo shows up much larger than it does on my view. (Aha, you have to click on it to see its true glory!) It's a miniature inspiration book that JocelynneB from Flickr made and it is so cool that I've started my own. I am the epitome of a fairweather scrapbooker and have yet to actually complete any book I've started. But hopefully this little one will remedy that. The fact that I dictate its number of pages should help... ;) I'll let you know how that goes, and will post complete photos ASAP.


I've been spending all of my free moments at work link-hopping through scrappers' blogs (usually starting here) and absorbing mass quantities of inspiration. Hopefully the weather will take a turn for the nicer, soon, so that Sam can spend more time in the garage and I can start makin' stuff again. (I'm a quality-time person, so any time he's home we're inseparable.) My first evening of working on the mini album, his friend called and apparently asked what I was up to because he looked over at me buried in piles of magazines, scraps, various adhesive products and photos and replied "I guess she's makin' stuff."
