Get Smashed.

When Unscripted Sketches #173 came about for some reason it screamed "Smashbook" to me.  A few months ago we went to a concert with some friends.  I had just downloaded an app on my iPhone (Instagram) that has some really cool filters that make for interesting pictures.   
 
When working with sketches, remember to look at it from all angles.  The "white space" on the sketch reminded me of a second page - perfect for concert tickets and other memorabilia. 
 

 
Happy Scrapping!

Learn to pause....

It's funny that I chose this sentiment on a card after I have taken a brief pause from my blog.  We got our puppy, Pepper, and she's amazing.  The house training is going amazingly and she truly is a great dog.  The catch is that she's got some digestive issues that we are trying to resolve, and it's definitely comanding our time.  I've been taking a few weeks to focus on my new little family, and I couldn't be happier with our addition.

Three weeks ago I went to CKC Lancaster with my momma.  We took a few great classes, bought more than our fair share, and most importantly we had some mother/daughter time.  I love how close we are and how we share the same hobbies. 

This past weekend we had some great friends visit, and it really got me thinking about how in our busy lives, it's important to stop and look around.  Work has been more than stressful and this weekend let me decompress, breathe and just relax with some great people.
