As I write this post, it’s hovering in the teens and the snow is lightly coming down. It’s cold in Colorado, that's for certain! Looking out my window, I see snow and bare trees. On my computer, I’m chatting with my friend Paula. She lives far away, but we keep in touch almost daily through an internet chat gadget. All of this is leading me to the challenge I have for you today.
supplies: cardstock, Bazzill; chairs, ladies, “today,” & sign, letter stickers, Studio Calico; envelope, Maya Road; pearls, Prima; pen, Sakura; paint, Claudine Hellmuth Studios; adhesive, Scrapbook Adhesives and Making Memories; other, floss.
Scrap a page about what you are doing RIGHT now. And for bonus points, use a color scheme that you see right now. I scrapped about how much I enjoy chatting with Paula. In the envelope, I have a little bit more about the history of our friendship. I used the white Bazzill Swiss Dot paper for my background, added some blue to bring an even colder feel to the page, but it was the ladies and chairs from Studio Calico’s new Home Front line that reminded me of chatting for hours with a good friend and made me want to use it. I added some brown for the trees and then a hopeful bit of yellow.
I’d love to see what you come up with. It’s important to scrap your memories, but it’s also important to scrap the here and now sometimes!
