It's not my fandom...

I haven't posted in almost a week, and I feel bad about that. I've been too busy to scrapbook, and i spent so much time cleaning up last weekend for our twilight party that I didn't have the heart to pull everything out again to scrap on Sunday. I know you're all stuck and pointing at that one line up there with the word "Twilight" in it. I might as well explain myself. I read the first book for a book club meeting two summers ago. Not a big deal, I'd picked up the book before (long before it was this huge thing) and put it back down, thinking "this has potential because it's about vampires, but it also looks sorta lame." I read the first book with ease, thinking Edward was the shit (excuse my language), despite his sparkling nonsense and the total bastardization of one of the coolest supernatural...

WOW

So I'm not totally arrogant about scrapping, but sometimes...well a girl just has to assume she's pretty decent. Looking at the gallery for this month's Commit2Paper inspiration squad? Sheesh I think my LO's pale in comparison. I'm forever amazed at what happens when you give five people the same package of supplies and tell them to go for it. You wind up with some really really amazing stuff. Check it out for su...

More LOs

I did some other layouts at the scrapbook retreat last month and just now got around to upload photos. Thought I'd share them. The photos of this one are from the Independent Film panel at Dragon Con in Atlanta this year. It was one of my favorite panels, more than just having one of my favorite actors on it, while he shared his trailer for his movie....

Dirty Scraps - Broken

Did this layout for the Broken Relationship challenge on Dirty Scraps. Of course, I think broken relationship and my mind immediately jumps to first loves lost. I'm sure it's the case for most everyone else as well. I really really love how this one came out....

Year of an Art Journal

I've been working on this art journal, it's sort of a new thing for me. I'm trying to try new styles and such and this seemed like a good way to go about it. Here's what I've done so far. This prompt was "What" as in what's holding you back in your art work. I wrote out a bunch of things and then went over it with paint. For the "Hope" prompt, I played around with masking and glimmer misting. Besides making sort of a mess, I still like the way it came out. For "Unknown" I was drawing a blank, but I started playing with water colors and some chipboard wings I liked. The technique to use was stitching which I sort of cheated with my stitching on the wings, but I still really like the way the page came together. One of those things you work on...

Wedding Invite Shadw Box

Made this up for my friend Gina who wanted something to do with her wedding invites, but didn't have any idea (or want to pay more than the $19.99 for the frame). Mostly it's just KI Lace paper and some bling, but I think it came out really great....

Tattoo Ideas

For those who don't know I've already got three tattoos, and I'm working on planning four, five, and six. I've been toying with the idea of adding to my original tattoo which looks like this: (I apologize for all that skin there. Taking a photo of your lower back is not easy.)I want to add this above it: Opinions? For those curious I can only find photos of the most recent tat (the other one is on facebook? maybe? I'm not sure)....

February C2P Layouts!

Late in posting these, but I was a busy bee with the Feb Commit 2 Paper kit. It was perfectly colored for a pink and navy wedding ;)A few look repetitive, but I'm working on three different wedding albums (ours, the Flemings and the Halls). I've already cracked into March for my inspiration squad commitments, and so far it's so much fun. It lends really well to scrapping photos of high school friends in high school ban...

RP Trailer

So I've started online RPing (role playing), which is mostly and attempt to hone my writing skills, but i rather enjoy it. It's fun to develop characters and play with them back and forth. One of the games I play I have a banner for in the right toolbar. Epitaph. The other game I play is called Eidolon City which is this really neat concept that winds up taking place in sort of a 1930's/40's gangster mob movie. Really cool. My friend Nat who's got mad skills this weekend worked on a trailer for the game to post around and such. It's pretty kick ass and I just had to share it with the three people who still read. enj...

Domestic Goddess? Try Domestic Disaster

[insert babble about the blog being neglected here]So my dear friend Meaghan continues to post about her domestic adventures and IM me about such as well. I shouldn't say I'm surprised. The girl has the most organized underwear drawer I've ever seen in my life our first year in college. (Mine meanwhile was socks and underwear shoved into a drawer that was lucky if it was closed most of the time. But I can't help but laugh at our conversations via gtalk (example made up convo):Meag: I just vacuumed the entire house, did laundry and made a healthy dinner.kT: um. champ made dinner and you just reminded me i have a load of laundry in the dryer that's been there for two days. brb while i get that. It just amuses me how not cut out for domesticity I am. Not that I can't cook. When I do bother,...
