I PLAYED!!

Well, I did it! I PLAYED tonight in my scrap room for the sheer love of the hobby. It's been just over a week now that I chose PLAY as my word for the year and tonight I finally took the time to do just that. I have design team deadlines looming next week and laundry that needs folded but I put it all on hold to PLAY. It felt great.

One of the crop challenges at Scrapbooker's Clubhouse this weekend is to use NEW products. Yes, new, rip open the package, brand new products. This was definitley a challenge first for me and I must admit, I really like the idea. I got this line of Flair paper a few weeks ago as a RAK from a contest I was in. This is the first time I've seen their products in person, so it was a nice treat to work with something different. It was just a coincidence that the new Maya Road ribbon I had was a perfect match to this paper. I chose the pictures from our trip to Florida as I have not done this vacation justice yet in my scrapbook. It was also nice to have warm thoughts of the beach on such a chilly night.
