cant help but feel like this is an end of an era

i have failed miserably as the guest designer for SIStv this month.
failed.
miserably.

it has nothing whatsoever to do with ashley’s amazing collection. hand drawn designs and funky finds. but entirely to do with the fact that i am just not that into scrapbooking anymore. and its painful to attempt. and i have ended up hating it, and everything i create.

which is so unfair to ashley, who has always been funny and sweet to me. i wanted to give back to her by doing this. and i feel terrible that i havent been able to pull it off.

this is the one measly layout i pulled out of my head. look beyond the pathetic attempt at the super cool stuff used to make it. that date stamp paper is my favorite thing ever right now! and her label stickers have phrases that feel like home to me. i used the orange chopstick to break the page up and for the title. adhered with a line of glue.

my love for the stuff hasnt waned. i love this stuff!!! its the love for doing it that is the problem.

and just to help make it up to her, a public proclamation of my love: I LOVE YOU MISSUS ASHLEY WREN! BURNER OF COOKIES AND LOVER OF RAINBOWS! (forgive me?)

fun session, this one

another repeat customer, who wanted to one-up the location from last year and do something different to boot.

pretty much the entire time we are together we are all laughing really really loud. their family is so fun and crazy they make mine look amish. and i know lisa will totally crack up reading that.
