Journaling Café: Insecurities

We all deal with insecurities, one way or another. And sometimes it’s good to reflect on these insecurities to discover where they affect our lives, or even the lives of others. Here are a couple of prompts that help you journal about your insecurities. And here’s a page I did, processing things on my own: The font used here is my own handwriting font DJB Squirrels In My Pants by Darcy Baldwin (available at the Sweetshoppe).

About Schoolbags and Buried Treasures

I learned another useful lesson again today. And that is: Check your schoolbag for trash more often. It’s something I actually rarely do, and when I get to it, I marvel at the stuff that I can find in there. Stuff like an old slice of cheese, that I collected a couple months ago, put it in my school bag and never thought of taking it out again. Remember? Cheese is a rare commodity around here, so it definitely should be treasured. Except: that treasure shouldn’t be buried in your school bag for months and months. On the other hand, it wasn’t as bad as you might think now, because it neither was moldy nor smelly, or else, I would have gone treasure hunting in my school bag a lot sooner!   PS.

Treasure Sunday: March 4th

Sunday means treasure hunting, and this week there were so many goodies again, just waiting to be picked up on the road. Let me take you to where I went … So Cute by scrappyt First stop, was this little cute page with the adorable photo, the fun splatter, the pretty color palette and little scattered pieces of elements.   Handmade by amymom24 Next, I had to pause when I stumbled upon this page. Krafty papers always make my heart sing, and this one has so many pretty things added to it that it has to stand out somehow! The photos are adorable, and then there are the pretty little clusters of elements she added to this page, that make it just worth looking at.   I Miss You by sue.falstaff With this page, the clean simplicity was what caught my eye. The pretty brush work, combined with those white flowers scattered all over the place, and the little title just add the perfect finishing touches to this layout.   Dr Seuss Books by eryn …

Never Ending Winter

If you’ve been following my blog for a little while, you’ll know that I love snow. Indeed. I do. I love snow. Except when the white stuff coming down from the sky doesn’t stay white as soon as it hits the ground. Or when it comes down at a time when my little heart is actually preparing for the sweet time of spring. Like today. I thought, spring’s supposed to be around the corner. But not here. Not today. Today, it’s snowy but not white; it’s just wet and cold. Surely, winter is trying to hold on as long as possible. Brrr!  

Freebie Friday: Old

Can you tell that I’m working hard at getting caught up on my blogging again? This also means, I managed to get you my latest template, based on my recent layout “Days of Old.” I hope you’ll have fun with this one. And since I’ve been playing catch-up these last couple of days (internet the week before was just really really lazy), I just wanted to point out the last two templates I posted as well. If you haven’t picked these templates up yet, make sure you do so before their links expire. Now, all I’m left to do is invite you to share links to your finished pages with us here, and finally, Happy Friday, scrappers!   PS. For those freebie lovers among you, don’t forget to check the new freebie section over at SSD. Some freebies have been switched out already with new ones. Just sayin’ … Note: Please do not re-distribute this template in any way (you may share the link to this post), and when you use this template, please make …
