It's been a fun week for me.
I stayed up all Wednesday night reading a modern sequel to Jane Austen's "Pride and Prejudice" called "Mr. Darcy's Daughters" by Elizabeth Aston- it was a page turner.
Then last night I saw Erica Badu totally blow up her usual smooth jazz hits on stage and a long held regret of mine was finally put to rest.
Back in 2004 I had tickets to her show but bailed because "Who was Erica Badu?" Who indeed.
I kicked myself for the following 10 years or so.

But there you have it- proof.
Life is full of second chances.
In honor of a good lesson learned, I decided to give my paper stash a second chance.
I also finally let go of flair I was hoarding for my dead as a door nail Project Life album.

Here's my project for the hop:
 |
| I had a hard time with this concept! I wanted to play with layers. The page got remade several times before I decided this was the final. I love the idea of frames and paper strips so I may try this concept out a few more times. I used the following flair for this page: My Life Words 3 pack (turquoise so you) My Life Words 2 pack (turquoise today) Phrases 2 pack (royal blue totally rad) |
Some close ups:
 |
| I didn't bring my typewriter or sewing machine with me for the move and I've sorely missed both. Here I was just going back to basics- fussy cutting and bending the items so they gave depth to the page. |
 |
| I wish I had gotten the yellow "today instead". Next time I'll just get that phrase in all colors- it's so versatile. Charity race we walked (ha!) was named "Color Me Rad". This button was perfect for the theme page. |
Please take a few moments to swing by the all the blogs participating.
The level of creativity and innovation exhibited by this team is truly inspiring.
I hope you have a fantastic creative weekend.
Get out there and kick regret's butt!

ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you were able to get a second chance!
ReplyDeleteMichelle, love this post. This was my first visit to your blog, but I will definitely be back. Love all the layers, the flair, and especially the neon touches around the photos. I know what you mean about wanting the flair in all colors. I fall in love with a design, but often I don't know what color I am going to need when I get to the layout. Oh well, buy it all...if you can, if not, make do with what you have!
ReplyDeleteDang it all! I just popped in to say glad you enjoyed the interview with Janna over at Scrap Friends that I did...& to go YES! to you, 'cos it's AMAZING that someone actually doesn't lose their mojo...guess we're all different, tho....& then you've got a FLAIR hop going.....man, how can I NOT join in....my flair 'obsession' comes a close runner up to my washi obsession......lOOOOVE what you've done with yours & good on you......'today' seems a pretty versatile flair to have, I must say:):):)
