Feeling scrappy

I've been feeling a little scrappy lately. I figured I better clean up my craft room first. This is definitely the room the house that gets neglected the most, but also the room that I want to spend the most time in. It acts as the room that you put everything that you don't know what to do with. So, I needed to take charge in there and create a bit of order. If I don't tidy up first, I can't concentrate. I am a very messy crafter. I don't tend to clean up between projects, so I will go to do something and all the remnants and bits and pieces are scattered all over the place. I really mean all over the place. I wanted to use my cuttlebug yesterday, and I had such a mess everywhere that I was forced to use it on the floor. Sad, I know. But true.

Ok. So. Now that I have spent yesterday afternoon and into the evening cleaning, I was able to get in there this morning and work on a layout. I have had pics of Adam, my Mom and I now for 4 years. I have attempted scrapping them, but never quite 'felt' like it. I think it was the original paper I had picked out for it. So, I finally found some paper that I really liked. And here is what I came up with.

We had gone to Vancouver Island to visit my sister and her family. You can tell this is the ferry ride home because, back then, whenever we got together, Michele would cut Adam's hair. I loved him in a buzz cut when he was younger. Now, I would swear, he had turned into a 16 year old over night. That is a whole other story to be told at a later date.
