A Love/Hate Relationship

Double-Sided Paper...Who doesn't love it, it's like buying two papers for the price of one...or is it?  Most of the paper I buy is double-sided, so when I cut it and and stick it down, only one side is showing...the other side is covered in tape, never to be seen again.  Well, I for one have had enough, I am taking a stand, and am going to start using BOTH SIDES of my double-sided paper.

"Sweet{heart}'s"

SIDE ONE

This is my niece and oldest nephew...looking so sweet together.  This page was made with Lisa's "Something Old, Something New" Challenge at WeScrap!  The heart lockets are my "Something Old", these have been given to me over the years. {they range from 10-20 years old}  My "Something New" is the Heart, this has been cut on my NEW Big Shot, using my NEW Tim Holtz Die! Now, if you flip this page over you will find

SIDE TWO:

Side One and Two share the same piece of {back} cardstock.  Quite often I will attach an envelope, to hold any photos that didn't get scrapped, to the backside of my layouts.  This way, all of the photos {of the same function} stay together, in one place.  On this layout, I decided to utilize this 'wasted space' by scrapping the side that would normally be 'hidden away'.  This also cuts down on {a little} bulk when stuffing finished layouts into page protectors.

This layout was created for 'Victoria's Scraplift Challenge' , where you were to 'scraplift' one of the WeScrap Design Team's layouts!  I picked 'Twinkle Toes' by CorinneStevens, an absolutely adorable layout! As soon as I saw it I knew this picture of my Sister and her family would look perfect! Thanks again, Corinne, for your amazing inspiration!

Do YOU Ever...?

Do you ever finish a layout and HATE IT IMMEDIATELY? Well, that is what happened to me.  I have been working on a layout for this picture {below} for quite some time {just how much, I am embarrassed to say}.

Finally, I thought that I had a design that I liked, so I stuck it all together...and then ripped it all apart. Ugh! That is so frustrating. {I didn't scan the layout I didn't like...I should have, but I didn't}  So, after a couple more hours work I came up with something that I do like...here it is.

'3 Corn Nuts'

This picture was taken on our annual trip to the cottage.  My Sister and I decided that we would take 'the scenic route' {turning a two hour drive into 5 hours...with 3 kids...one being potty trained}, so needless to say, Season {my Sis} and I where a little nuts by the end of it.  We kept seeing Corncob mailboxes and decided that making the kids look like they were taking a bite of it would make a funny picture. {not realizing that the youngest would be a bit short, but...} The story behind my 'disgruntled' nephew {in the background} is that we pulled over on the side of a nice, country road and hopped out of the van, unfortunately, he didn't realize how close the ditch was and jumped into it, while jumping out...He slid down the side of the ditch. I had no idea he had even left the car because the grass was so high, so suddenly this little boy is grabbing at my ankle from the ditch, at first I was very startled...then, I couldn't stop laughing, which then made him start crying.  I had just about composed myself when the poor guy choked out 'I lost my shoes'...my laughter started again. {I am laughing now while thinking about it...oh boy!}

Wishing you Great {laughter-filled} Days!

Jazz.
