Getting the juices flowing

It's probably not much of a surprise to you, but I haven't been doing much crafting this spring. I had excuse after excuse, and while some were valid (90% off Christmas and Valentines stuff landed on my work space and I legitimately had no room to put it in a closet anywhere), many were not (I'm tired, I don't like my papers, etc). A few weeks ago I decided enough was enough! I shopped new designs a little too much when my dad was sick (shopping seriously does release endorphins, y'all, I truly believe it), I had plenty of pictures printed and I had the urge to purge! I reorganized my hall closet and purged lots of things, thereby making homes for what had landed in my craft area. Heck, I already made tons of page kits with my pretty new papers that were ready to be used!

Tonight, after taking an after work nap thanks to staying up to watch Project Life on HSN (yes, I ordered the blush kit on auto-ship), I decided enough was enough. I knew I had some pictures laid out with papers that I didn't get to at my last crop last summer, so I decided to flip through and see what was there. Surprisingly I realized I only had 5 or so layouts from 2006-2009 left to complete! Heck, if I don't do them now when am I going to move on??? As someone on the boards recently mentioned, done is better than perfect. These layouts are not doing any good sitting in a box in my crop area. I picked one that had a design come to mind and got to work. About an hour later I was done but didn't really love it. Well, some washi tape, drops of mist, and a few enamel dots later I had a visual triangle and some interest on my page and felt pleased. Not only had I legitimately scrapped a layout for the first time in months, I finally used Washi tape, ink, and enamel dots on a project versus them looking pretty in my room!

Enoughs enough, here's the layout. The base cardstock is bazzill, the striped is American Crafts, the solid borders I'm not too sure about, the ink is Heidi Swapp, the enamel dots are MMe, and the Washi tape is recollections (all I believe).
