One Main Scrapper for Inspiration/LO Share

Good morning everyone.... well it has been a scrapilicious weekend for me! I started scrapping around dinner time yesturday and quit at 2 am. I managed to get 4 LOs done!! WAHOOOOOO... I plan on scrapping some more today too.. John is picking up another batch of pics at Costco ... new pics = new inspiration!

Another LO to share (not from the 4 I made yesturday.. I still need to snap pics of those). I did this LO from the Bad Girls Decmeber kit and entered their monthly Apron challenge. I didn't win, but managed to get another page done and use some of the stash! LOL

My Lexa.. I love this pic of her!

I have been quite pleased with the way my style has evolved. It has changed completely since my Doodlebug days. I tend to choose more of the shabby chic/collagy style, and tend to be more pleased with the end result. That being said I have thought about why it has changed and one MAIN person comes to mind!!

MY YAYA STEPHANIE!!!!!!!!!!!

For those of my blog readers that are unfamiliar with Steph's work, do yourself a favour and go check out her blog. True, I am biased as she is a close friend, but that set aside, this woman oozes talent like it's nobody's business. Her work isn't just scrapping... IT'S ART! When I am stuck on a LO, I will go and check out her blog and suddenly I am inspired again. I have seen her work in real life too, and the steps she goes through to reach that perfect masterpiece is mind boggling.. she makes it look so easy.. while I sit back in awe, wondering if I can have just one small chunk of her creative mind....LOL Since meeting her and becoming close to her, my scrapping have improved 100%. While yes I have many people who inspire me (all my YAYA's..lol) Steph always sticks out like a sore thumb...

So Stephie.. you are my muse.. thank you for inspiring me that way you do!!!

Here are a few pieces (well maybe a tad more than a few..lol) of her work that I just LOVE LOVE LOVE! If you love them too, stop by her blog and leave her a comment!











Well that is about it for today's entry.. I am off to scrap some more (housework just has to wait)..LOL

MMMMMMMMMMMMWWWWWWWWWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
