I made TWO American Crafts layouts today - whoohoo. So proud of myself! And they came together really quick, so I think my creative side of the brain may still be intact. Now if my short term memory would just return, I'd be as good as new! haha
When I was going through all my AC products, I pulled out my favorites and almost all of them were from the Sketchbook line by Amy Tan. I just adore this line because it is full of hand-drawn looking doodles and lots of wonderfully bright colors (both so me!).
Since surgery, my time spent on the computer is very limited - I usually don't feel good enough to sit at my desk, so if if doesn't happen on my bed or on a beach chair, it doesn't happen! So I have been taking LOTS of phone photos and editing them in Instagram. I love my phone. I love using it for photos. And I may never take my expensive camera anywhere again! haha These two little photos were taken on the beach and framed in Instagram. I used part of the Shoreline collection and lots of the Sketchbook collection - who knew they would go so well together? All of this is AC except for the twine and sequins. Here are close ups - I used A LOT of products on here - tons of layering!
This next one has some of my favorite photos (taken before surgery with my REAL camera!) of Chloe with our new puppy Annabelle. Again, I used primarily the Sketchbook line by Amy Tan. I think it's time to buy doubles of all of this since I am quickly running out. Since my Love, Elsie days, I haven't seen many lines so full of artistic type of doodles. Hmmm, maybe that will be my next scrapbook adventure!!!?!?!?!?!
And now, I am back to working on my Project Life - trying to finish another week and having fun doing it! Have a great day friends! I am doing well, just suffering from terrible headaches every day. Hoping this is temporary and not my new reality... Suzy

Praying your headaches are a temporary thing. Love that you are able to create and share with all your fans. How EXCITING would a Suzy line be?!!! Awesome.

i'm also so happy to see you scrapping! Love the layouts, and I really hope those headaches go away soon, each day that goes by, more healing inside!

Well done. Both layouts are spectacular. I love the sketchbook line too. I totally agree... great bright colors and doodles galore. I definitely think you should create a doodle-type line in the near future, I bet it would be incredible! Glad to see you are up to scrapping. Hoping the headaches are temporary and have a feeling they are... look how much your brain has gone through in such a short time! It's just probably adapting from having HUGH evicted. :)
