| Garden Girls: A new Look at Page Kits | ||
Garden Girl Kelli Crowe created multiple layouts using a page kit by Pebbles. I love how Kelli has showcased this product. Presented with the opportunity to use it, she totally made these products work smoothly with her usual layouts.
Find page kits here: Pebbles Page kits Doodlebug Page Kits
Here are Kelli's project notes:
Cute is the new black.
And this Pebbles Zoo kit is way cute.
I totally love a kit because:
You can grab it and go to a crop with a handful of zoo pics
It inspires you to use colors and embellishments you may not already have
It pulls together lots of pics from one event in your album by co-ordinating all the papers
It got me to use some older things in my stash like these sticker letters that I hadn't used in a while
And
just because the whole time I was making these lo's from this kit I
could hear the Knight Rider theme music in my head...."turbo boost Kit"
| Garden Girls: Routine by Maria Grace Abuzman | ||
It's September. We've taken the last of our summer vacations, school
has started for the kids, we're pulling out our winter clothes, and are
gearing up for the holiday season just around the corner.
And as the weather changes in its predictable pattern, I am once again on a mission to reestablish order in my life. Order I've let spontaneous summer activities throw into chaos. September is that month for me. I need Septembers to give me time to create new routines and re-establish old ones.
Routine. Most of us think this is a boring word, I know, but I have no problems admitting that I’m a routine person. I appreciate nothing more than knowing that I control the order and priorities in my life. They help me balance my time and for any busy woman, this is a must.
I enjoy establishing routines because they help me to appreciate those moments during my day when spontaneity creeps in. That’s what makes routines so special: that you learn to appreciate spontaneity more when they introduce themselves into your otherwise orderly life. And spontaneous activity, I think, goes hand in hand with fulfilling a creative mind.
For me, scrapbooking is fueled by spontaneity, but of a type which exists in the routine I’ve established for it. I need the order as much as I need the chaos and this is evident in my own quirky scrapbooking routine.
- Sketch out the ideas. Go mad crazy all over those Post-Its.
- Choose the supplies. Grab whatever I want and throw them all in a basket. The more varied the better.
- Create, create, create. Enjoy the process.
- Step back and examine. Is my message getting through?
- Create and re-create again. There’s always more than one way to do something right.
Do you see that at each routined step there is room for creativity to flow? For me, this is the key to artistic balance. Having a scrapbook routine helps me create more layouts and complete more albums. A win-win situation, guaranteed.
Routine: a boring word? Nope. Not by my definition.
