Warm up page...

I just looove this time of year! It's pretty, I always seem to have more energy during Spring and it's simply the best! The fact that we can enjoy this in March this year is a huge bonus!

I thought these pictures were cute, so I felt like I needed to share (check the bug on third photo)...
And now back to scrapbooking...

Why do you scrapbook? (if you do) I scrapbook for many different reasons: To preserve our memories; To tell a story; To play with my lovely paper collection; I use scrapbooking as a reward after hard work; or Just for fun!

Sometimes I have a thought that I will carry in my mind and work on for days, before it becomes a layout. Other times, I will sit down, pull a few photos that don't have much of a story to go along, or that have previously been scrapbooked on a different layout, and just create. Because I feel like it. That's what I did last Friday. Just for fun. I just wanted to make something. Stacy Julian calls them a warm up pages.

Here is my warm up page - very simple. It will be added next to the other layout with more photos from the same day:

I love the cluster of embellishments on a page. I know I did this type of embellishing too many types, but there's nothing wrong in repeating what works for you:

Well, I guess I'll share one more thing before I go today. I made this for a friend of mine... Learning from my mistakes - don't add milk and butter to chocolate! Yes, it will be easier for dipping, but it will not harden as good as plane, melted chocolate does. That was a big mistake. Well, sometimes we need to make mistakes to learn from them...

(I meant to say "covered" there... to lazy to go back and edit this photo. I'd rather work on a new page! ) I hope you have a wonderful Monday! Do something creative today - March is a National craft month...

I'll see you soon here again!
