One of the last layouts I created before I took my several year long break from scrapbooking. I'm trying to get back into scrapbooking, taking pictures, and documenting life. It has not been easy to reorganize my world, but I think it is time to get back on the train and ride once again. I miss it. I'm sad that I stopped.

This fun line is all about boys and is so fun! It's called Rough & Tough. Lots of great colors and designs here! Here's a quick preview of the line. Here's my layout: You can see all of the great creations by the Fancy Pants design team by dropping by the Fancy Pants blog.

Since I am the mom of a boy, I don't often pull toward girly papers. I like deeper colors and more boyish designs. I do love the new Dancing Girl line from Fancy Pants, though. It is so fun and happy! Here's a little peek of the awesome-ness!

I have never been one for Halloween stuff...I have probably only created 2 or 3 Halloween pages in my life. I think it has to do with the unconventional costumes that Ryan chooses...they never seem to go with any Halloween papers and embellishments. However, the new Trick or Treat line by Fancy Pants is so denine zielinskihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01222946481430020306noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22577358.post-80663455632071398242009-07-17T09:24:00.001-04:002009-07-17T09:30:46.607-04:00Another Page Already???Crazy, huh? I guess I was just feeling motivated and creative. I have to say that my main motivation for this page came right from the picture. My niece, Brianne, shared the picture on her Facebook, and I fell in love with it immediately. I knew that once my mojo came back that it would be one of the first pictures that I turned to!

Before you know it, it will be back to school. Things are finally starting to get back to normal for me. I have my motivation back, and I have been working around the house a lot. The one thing that I have not been doing is taking pictures, and that makes me sad. Unfortunately, I can't go back over the past 4 months and re-live everything with my denine zielinskihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01222946481430020306noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22577358.post-69061976107824990262009-06-23T18:18:00.004-04:002009-06-23T18:31:48.083-04:00Not scrapping quite yet........although the thought has crossed my mind several times. I have been trying to get some stuff done around the house here...you know those fun things like pulling weeds, painting, landscaping, etc.....My buddy, Ryan, is away this week with his Dad in North Carolina, so it has been perfect for getting things done that are hard to do when he's around.

Well, it has been a crazy 2 months, but my main reason for not blogging was because I was not feeling well. Not sure what it was, but I was just not myself. And worse than not blogging.....I have not scrapped in 2 months, either (gasp!). To make a long story short....I wasn't feeling well, and now I feel better.

Not that I have anything major to say, anyway. I set up this little blog to share my scrapbook layouts, and I try to keep it that way. I do have some online friends who visit here, and several of you have e-mailed me to ask where I have been.

I really do not like Mondays. I am not sure why, but they are just not one of my favorite days. So, I was glad to say goodbye to Monday for another week.

I cannot believe that it has been so long since I last updated. I guess I have been a bit preoccupied these past few weeks. Maybe because it has been feeling so "springy" around here, and I have been having a hard time sitting at the computer or in my scrap room. Not sure. Of course, we have more daylight hours, and I am looking forward to nicer weather.

It usually happens after a big assignment or a trade show that I design for. I guess I just kind of use up all of my creative energy and am left with nothing. So, instead of beating myself up for being so lame, I decided that I was going to find an older layout of mine that I wanted to re-create with newdenine zielinskihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01222946481430020306noreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22577358.post-5935278285651621862009-02-06T20:39:00.005-05:002009-02-06T20:48:25.452-05:00Creating Keepsakes has a BLOG!Good news, people!

Since I took almost 1,000 pictures, I am guessing that it will be a while until I am done. I am in no hurry, so no biggie.
