Creative bug bit!!

I finally got out of my scrap funk today!! I got two layouts completed and into my album. I'm so excited!! I can almost feel my mojo coming back. Hopefully I can get a couple more completed tomorrow! :)

I've had this layout on my desk for two weeks and finally figured out how to finish it. The funky looking things at the top of the photo are strips of paper with words on them, that have ribbon loops stapled to them. Each word is something that describes aspects of her personality. The colors are black, royal and butterscotch, but they didn't show up well here. Grr. I really need to invest in a good digi!!

This is a quick layout I did tonight of Monkey climbing onto the piano bench at Gilbert & Sharon's. She worked and worked, but her perseverance paid off and she finally made it up! New technique for me was to ink my chipboard, then doodle on it and use UTEE to make it shine. I really like the way this one turned out.
