Confessions of a Scrapbook Kit Hoarder…#12

Hello Everyone!

Welcome to my blog series, “Confessions of a Scrapbook Kit Hoarder“. If you haven’t already, please read The Intervention so you can understand the inspiration for this craft adventure.

Very excited to use up some of my letter stickers I have been hoarding!

I have another scrapbook layout to share with you.  I am on a roll making layouts. I can’t wait until I feel the confidence I used to have when I made layouts. Still grappling with doubt while designing.

This layout is so special to me. The background to this layout is that a few years ago, they had this animated series called ‘Avatar the Last Airbender’ on television. All of my brother in-laws and one of my sister-in-laws kept on raving about this show. I didn’t pay much attention to it.  My husband bought the DVDs for season 1, 2 and 3 and I still didn’t watch. Then this summer, my boys started watching and I  finally did too.  Let’s just say from the first episode I was hooked. So we watched all the of the disks and became big Avatar fans.

Ok, it is official - I am lovin' the enamel dots from My Mind's Eye.

So when Halloween came around, I knew what they would choose as their costumes – characters from the show. So I ordered the costumes and my brother–in-law handmade a glider for Nicholas to go with his costume.  So amazing. As soon as they put on their costumes on they became their characters. It was so much fun. I am sure they will get a lot of wear out of these costumes.

For the layout I used the October kit’s papers and added some My Mind’s Eye enamel dots and Evalicious paper tabs from my stash for added accents.  I also used three different letter stickers from my stash which really makes me happy because I sure can hoard letter stickers!

Have a blessed weekend friends!

Fun Photos Friday – #12

Happy Friday!  Wow did this week fly by. I have been running around having fun with my girlfriend who is visiting from California this week and trying to keep up with my posts at the same time.  Even squeezing in a tiny bit of crafting and I mean tiny!

Well on with this week’s photo…

Well I could possibly be the last person to get hooked on the Avatar The Last Airbender Cartoon series. When it was first airing on the television a few years ago, I missed the beginning and realized that it is important to start from the beginning to appreciate the cartoon. My sister-in-law and two of my brother-in-laws kept telling me how it is really great.

When the series ended my husband bought the DVDs.  So this summer, almost nightly we all sit around the TV and watch 2 sometimes 3 episodes back to back.  The boys love it and can I tell you I am really enjoying it. It  is great for kids and adults and has some really great messages underlying the story lines.

This week’s picture is of the boys taking some warrior stances from Avatar while we were hanging out at Crane Beach.

Have a great weekend!
