Yes, I'm playing Boot Camp Catch-Up and triggering smoke alarms as I work feverishly to get a couple tasks completed by Saturday night ..... you'd understand my rush if you could see the fabulous prizes up for grabs!
This is an 8.5x11 page I created using a template by the always hilarious
Cathy Zielske She's a self-professed "scrappin' and chub fightin' fool" .... for real.

Kraft, Sunset, and Olive cardstock w/inks
Chocolate Waxy Flax, Olive emboss powder
Art Philosophy cartridge and coordinating stamp. |
I kept it simple so that the focus is on the journaling.
Angie Lucas gave us a "Guiding Principles" quiz and instructed us to answer the questions in 7 minutes, then use the next 3 minutes to translate our answers into a statement. Well, it took me about an hour to complete the quiz and I'm still working on the final statement! Awesome and very worthwhile journaling exercise. Thanks Angie!
In the meantime, I used some of Angie's prompts to document my guiding principles as they exist today, right now, at this moment.
Oh, and the deal about the smoke alarm ......
This little embossed gem right here is the culprit. I like this stamp and cricut cut from
Close To My Heart so much that I decided to make several of them all at one time and in a variety of colors. It's pretty handy to have a few extra autumn leaf embellies around this time of year. Long story short .... too much embossing in a small room can lead to smoke alarm activation ... no fire, very little smoke, and a stinky hallway ..... nothing opening a few windows didn't cure by bedtime! Al just shook his head, rolled his eyes, and returned to the man-cave and TV. If he could see the fabulous prizes up for grabs, he'd totally understand!
You always make me smile - and inspire me to be a better journaler. I am going to set a goal to work on a project like this in the coming weeks.
