Scrappin' My Stress Away: Cricut Craftin Friends Blog Hop

My Scrapbook Goals for 2013

Last year, my goal was to get published. I am happy to say that I was published in Scrapbook News and Review. I did not count on breaking my wrist in May, so I did not submit any other work.....

My crafty goals for 2013 are:

1. Find the rest of my mojo!!! It broke with my wrist last May and I have gotten some back. I need to seek out challenges, blog hops and classes to rejuvenate!! ****I do want to add that my mojo is coming back (yay) and I have great moments of inspiration, and others where I am completely stumped!!! I get a lot of comments on this goal! Last year I posted 3-5 times a week and this year I am 1-3 times a week....getting there!!

2. Finish Tyler's High School Album before his Graduation Party!!!

3. Reinvent my scrapbook style - I am feeling a little stale!

4. Seek out DT opportunities that match my talents and goals.

5. Conquer my fear of creating videos and learn how to edit!!

I recently went to an all day crop and got my son's album caught up. It was great to get caught up, but I did not have my camera to take pictures step by step.

He is a high school junior and I have a hard time with his pages at times. I do a lot of baseball, bowling and tennis pages (aka boring) and try to keep them plain (also boring). This photo was taken this year of my three boys and I just loved the colors.

I grabbed my Gypsy Girl and created my title by welding the word Brothers from the shadow font from Batman. I sized the letters (shadow and regular letters) to 1.71inches. The word three is from Graphically Speaking and is sized to 1.47 inches.

I needed a little more fluff, so I added 3 amigos sized at 2.53 inches and Certified at 2.18 inches, both from Graphically Speaking.

I cut everything out of black cardstock except the regular letters. I used a lavendar cardstock for those. I added a purple border behind my photo and adhered it all together.
