scrapbooking – restart!

It’s been a long dry spell since I put a scrapbook page together. Nearly 10 years since I’ve created a page for one of the albums.

The heart shape in this layered title was the piece that I really needed to figure out since there didn’t seem to be a way to make the squiggly line in SCAL using techniques I was familiar with. I decided to try my hand creating something in Procreate and it worked! I was able to save the image I created as a png with a transparent background and trace it in SCAL to use as a cut file.

The letters are adapted from the Cookie font I found on Creative Fabrica. I cut all the shapes using the using the Skycut C24 using the SCAL 6 Pro software. I used some Kraft and white cardstock. Coloring in the shapes with Ohuhu markers and some additional inkpads for depth and texture. The font used is Cookie from Creative Fabrica.

The journaling sheet is a pullout from the pocket created by the cover photo. There’s enough room for several 4×6 inch prints to be tucked in there.

That’s it for the this post — I hope you have set aside some time for some creative endeavors today, tomorrow or in the near future. Nurture your soul!

My Journey Notes:
Back in the insomnia cycle. We’re 2 nights/days in. I hope this cycle will be short-lived.

T’s first day at work post-op went about as planned. He has half a day off today to visit with the surgeon again and see if the pressures are continuing to fall. He’ll go back to campus on Friday with hopes of being able to work at the computer for a little bit of time and not completely stress his eyes out. Let’s hope the restricted to light duty note is prepped and ready for him this morning at the office and he can pick it up while he’s there… they didn’t call back for us to pick it up Tuesday afternoon when we requested it the first time and they were closed yesterday by the time T and driver were heading home from work.
