Need to get going on the latest challenge...

My obsession ...
I have always loved Bono and the band
U2 but recently (probably since Christmas) and receiving my U2 Ipod I have been listening, reading and watching something U2 EVERYDAY!  I just can't seem to get enough!

I'm trying to implement this Library of Memories class- (although the class is just in its beginning stages) by not only scrapping chronologically but by changing things up a bit and doing what appeals to me. 
We had such a good time this night - I think it shows in the pictures. 

Well finally I've found some time to work on some fun projects.  One of them is this fun purse I made from a Stampin up journal.  I added the 7 gypsies handles and chipboard from both Stampin up and 7 gypsies.

It's an American Crafts D ring album that holds 6 X 6 pages.  I used Chatterbox papers, HKS flowers and altered my own chipboard...

Here are more of the pages I completed.  I figure better late then never!  While there are still a couple details I would like to add, for the most part I am done and thrilled that I followed it through!

You don’t have to be a “person of influence” to be influential. In fact, the most influential people in my life are probably not even aware of the things they’ve taught me.
-Scott Adams

Think about influence today. Who influences you? Is he or she aware of the impact they make on your life? Who do you influence? In what ways?
Live deliberately today by being a positive influence to...

I've still been working on my journal and still enjoying the process!  Most of my journaling is done, its now just finding the time to put the pages together.
