Scrap Challenge

So continuing with my lack of mojo lately, a coworker and fellow scrapbooker had mentioned that she forces herself to make a card with the scraps of paper left over after finishing a layout. We were talking about our scrapboxes and how much paper we hang on to because we think we may use it, but then we always go for the full sheets. I decided to organize some of my scrap- scrap paper and I found a few sets that coordinated. Here are a few cards I made with one of the sets. I am extremely pleased with them!



Oh Mojo, where did you go?




So it's been a while since I've had my scrapbooking "mojo". Not quite sure what happened, there was a time that scrapbooking was all I could think of doing. Well I've been forcing myself to do a little bit here and there over the past few weeks and here are of a few of the things I've been working on.



I'm still working on this one. I am stuck when it comes to the journaling. My mom's dad passed away when I was five, so I really didn't get a chance to know him. There are so many things that I can think to write but I'm afraid that it won't come out right. Boo to being a perfectionist right? I will force myself at some point to complete or at least draft the journaling, that's the goal!





This is my favorite picture of my dad and me from when I was a baby. My dad is a retired veteran of the US Navy. He served 25 years and I could not be more proud, tho I was pretty cute wearing his hat!
