    Lately these have become my absolute fave, and I found them at Hobby Lobby of all places. They usually don’t have a good selection of designer scrapbook stuff but surprisingly they were pretty well stocked on a couple of the Anna Griffin lines.

    I really love the Shakeit Photo app for the iPhone. It basically takes photos that look like traditional Polaroids (which I miss). I took this photo with that app. It was framed perfectly on accident–I intended on photographing the coffee mug but I didn’t realize I also photographed the menu [...]

• Finding Your Creativity

  • Ok, so I’m feeling a little creatively down and out these days. I’ve bought a lot of stuff over the last 3 or 4 months and suddenly it’s like I don’t know what to do with everything.
    What do you like to do when you’re creative well has run dry? How do you get out of [...]

  • Jabari’s Birthday at Paciugo Layout, originally uploaded by krisalis903.

    Yay! I did yet another layout within a reasonable amount of time. I even showed it to the birthday boy and he really liked it so he gave it his stamp of approval. I kinda regret outlining those Thickers though They look good outlined when [...]

    I’m doing some crafty stuff today. I’ve missed it honestly. The last couple months have been so crazy that I haven’t really felt like sitting down to do much. Now that I can relax though, I’ve been able to sit down and do some creative stuff at my [...]

  • Dinner and a Sunset, originally uploaded by krisalis903.

    There’s never enough time in the day is there? So here I am, finally getting around to posting a layout I started like 2 weeks ago.
    I took this photo the first week Jabari moved in. I thought it would be a good representation of our lives finally coming together: [...]

• Wood Flourishes from Kaiser Scrapbook

    Kaiser Craft is slowly but surely becoming one of my favorite brands. My latest love? These cute wooden flourishes. I discovered them at Scrappin’ Good Time on our last shopping trip. They were $4.99 but I absolutely loved them. Had I not been on a budget, I [...]

• A Birthday Card for a Boy

  • A Birthday Card for a Boy, originally uploaded by krisalis903.

    At work, we’ve adopted 9 children from Kenya via Compassion International, a Christian charity that helps kids around the world. Recently, I just sorted through my card collection and pulled out a few select ones to donate to my office to send to our kids.
    I realized [...]
