a couple new layouts

I've been going crazy not scrapbooking so I've been risking the computer shutting down to make a couple pages.

This one was fun to make... I used the One Love collab by several scrapbooking designers where the proceeds went to Haiti. I used only Sweet Shoppe Designers' elements in this layout because I just love them and their stuff so much. The only thing that wasn't made by a Sweet Shoppe Designer was the background paper. Anyways, I picked up the fun Take Out Tuesday cluster template for the blog and had fun scrapping pics from what turns out to be my last Ladies' Night Out... After Tuesday's blog post it made me realize that this may be a problem and I need to get out more. I blame nursing... really, because what happened with Moriah tramatized me so much that I refused to be away from Isaac for fear that I was starving him. UGH, so now I'm determined to get out more especially now that he's older. He'll be mad but well, I need to take care of myself in order to take care of him and he'll survive. The font is Jenna by Darcy Baldwin.

This next one was a page I've been trying to do for quite awhile. It's been in the back of my head and I just decided I needed to do it. When my friend Barry had passed away suddenly in September I remembered that he had a goal of running a 10K in 2010 and I had decided that I was going to do just that. I want to run a 10K in 2010 in memory of him and it's only by the strength of God that I can do it. The journaling is hard to read but it's basically about Barry and his goal and how I want to do this and that running is my special time with the Lord... it seems to be the time I can really focus on talking to God and often times after a few miles it's when I'm really talking to God to get me back home, lol. I'm pretty impressed with this page... if you notice the jogging stroller, it looks like a double... well there wasn't a double in the kit. I used the single and duplicated it and then moved them together... then I had to do some erasing of the handlebars to make them look like one... if you look super close you can tell but I figure that's not what people are going to be looking at, lol. Anyways, the awesome kit is Run For Your Life by Shawna Clingerman and Emily Card, the bracket is Layered Up In You Brackets by Lauren Grier, the doodled borders is Border-Line by Lauren Grier (retired) and the font is Sissy by Darcy Baldwin. I also used one of the templates from Collection #13 by Cindy Schneider. I can't tell you how much I love these templates!
