Facebook stole my time…. part 1

Hi!
Have you noticed how Facebook is stealing your time? Well at least it´s stealing mine…

This past month I have been in a real bad scrap-breakdown… All my energy has been focused on my work.. and my health, well at least to get a healthy portion of exercise..

Most of my updates have been on Facebook, and it´s weird how easy it is to forget about your blog….

well….

lets take The month of April in review shall we?!

Color Combos Galore 201

well it started with the 201 challenge over att color combos Galore, but it evolved, as always when I create,,, and the aqua, pink, brown and white page.. well it ended up like this .

The page was a sort of stress reliever.. I have been having lots of inner stress lately bec of being home with my kids, trying to sort out all of those household chores you have to attend… laundry, cleaning, two wild kids having a booring time…. when they need to leave the TV or Playstation for 5 minutes.. 

Material used: Echo Park, Hambly, American Crafts, Basic Grey, and assorted flowers, I also used Spellbinders, Cheery lynn and Fiskars die Cuts.
