I'm a reader, reviewer, and published author at Cobblestone Press. In this blog, I focus mainly on the books I read: primarily romance in almost every subgenre, with the occasional true-crime book thrown in for a little variety.

When I'm not writing, I enjoy preserving my photos through the art of scrapbooking. I also love scented candles, though of course I don't burn them too close to my books or scrapbooking supplies. :) I also enjoy watching A&E programs such as Cold Case Files and American Justice.

Scrapbooking True Confession

Sometimes scrapbookers will decide what to wear (or what their children should wear) based on a paper they want to use when they scrapbook the pictures. This is 100% true. Scrapbookers reading this are likely to nod in agreement, while people who don't scrapbook are wondering, what the &#@*?

I finally scrapbooked my photos from Scottsdale, Arizona. My original plan was to use supplies from a recent Club Scrap kit, and yes, I selected my outfit to coordinate with the paper. I don't know what else to say besides it's a sickness.

At any rate, it didn't work out as I expected. I ended up needing to change my shirt, which blew the whole coordination plan, as I discovered when I got out the kit to scrapbook. But I scrapbooked the pictures anyway. My scanner is bizarre sometimes. I love it because it can scan items up to 12 x 17, but it doesn't always get colors right. Anyway, here are the pages.

Scottsdale, Page 1
Scottsdale, Page 2
Poisoned Pen, Page 1
Poisoned Pen, Page 2

The color besides yellow on the Scottsdale pages is actually lavender, though my scanner makes it difficult to tell. I haven't decided whether to add a title and journaling to the large tag or only journaling.

I used the same stamp set and tags on the Scottsdale and Poisoned Pen pages to reinforce the fact that they are from the same trip. The second color on the Poisoned Pen pages is a teal that leans more toward green. I tried blue, but didn't like the way it looked as well. Not that you can really tell from the scans. Sigh.

Luckily I have plenty of time to decide what to wear to the Reno signing. Ha ha.

We were on the beach the other day and my friend made me switch t-shirts. You know, for the scrapbook, LOL.

Ha ha ha! Oh, I needed that laugh. Thanks. I haven't gone that far . . . yet. But I'll never say never.
