Only two months behind on the 2010 scrapbook

I haven’t been writing much about scrapbooking lately. But then on Saturday night, I “met” Melanie on Twitter while we were both watching the Mizzou game. I clicked over to her blog and discovered that she’s a scrapbooker, too, and her (very cute) layouts inspired me to do a better job of sharing my own.

(If this is a little discombobulated: I apologize. I just woke up from a nap, and I’m still a little groggy.)

I’ve been leaning toward a more minimalistic style lately; I’m thinking about dropping the background paper altogether for next year’s album. Here’s my most-recent page:

happy birthday to you

The journaling reads “Poppy requested a ‘pigs in mud’ birthday cake.” See? Even the journaling is minimalistic.

Resources
I need to do a better job keeping track of where I get stuff. Here’s what I used for this page, though, with as much detail as I can remember.

  • The paper and most of the other elements are from a kit by Studio Flergs. It was a limited-edition thing, and I can’t find a link to it now. I have it listed in my files as “for Melissa.”
  • The frames are from Katie Pertiet’s Photo Clusters No. 12.
  • The font was a free one from Two Peas in a Bucket called “Pea Patti.” I use it for a lot of my journaling.
  • Desperately seeking a snooze

    I know I said “wah wah I can’t make a video,” but then Fadra stopped by with a swift kick in the pants pep talk. So I got over it, stayed up way past my bedtime, and made what is very likely to be the one and only “vlog” (ugh) entry you’ll ever see ’round these parts.

    (I am aware that I need a haircut. I have one scheduled for Saturday.)

    So here it is. Why Nichole Needs a Good Night’s Sleep: An Attempt to Win a Mattress.

    Update! I didn’t even make the finals. 🙁
