Cookie Monster Scrapbooks

This made me smile today so I thought I'd share. Note that even Cookie Monster (or perhaps his mom?) scrapbooks. :) And look at the happy memories it brought to Cookie Monster!

And it's just cute to watch Cookie Monster as a baby. :)

Bookends and Snow Globes

It's been awhile since I've updated.
Sometimes life just happens.
And other times, well, life sort of runs you over.
(In a good way)

I feel like I'm living in a snow globe at this point.
A snow globe that's been shaken up a bit.
So pretty, yet so chaotic all at the same time.

I wouldn't change it for the world.
But until the glitter settles,
updates to this blog will be "chaotic" as well.

So onto the card, the reason why most of you are here anyways.
Not to read my philosophical mumble jumble about snow globes.

I think some of you remember my "cop-out" card using a color combo from the Summer Card Camp Class.
I decided that a re-do was in order.
Because I'm not one to let a challenge defeat me.
(In card land or any other land)

So I decided that I'd minimize the white color in my card.
Add some patterned paper that I had been hoarding.
One piece of paper, while I liked the pattern, the colors didn't exactly match.
So I pulled out my handy dandy Copics and went to work on fixing that.
I'd recommend testing with a scrap piece of paper first.

I used the Bookends stamp set from Papertrey Ink, which I bought awhile ago...
with the intent to make bookmarks for Christmas gifts.
Yeah... pretty sure that isn't going to happen.
Especially now that I'm sitting here comparing my life to a snow globe.

Thanks for stopping by! :)
