Layout titled: Where is the Trust

Title: Where is the Trust?

Pavadinimas: Kur pasitikėjimas?

Staying true to my New Year's intention word of action, I pretty much threw this layout together in 5-10 minute increments while tending to my kids' needs. I am a late night owl scrapper, so this layout is only one of very few pages that got completed during the day....Yay for me!

I've been doing a lot of self-reflection on my scrapping habits, and I've noticed that I spend too much time coordinating details, and pulling out too many supplies, feeling overwhelmed whether the details go together well. With this layout, I just kept telling myself: Just do it! Don't dwell on insignificant details, or try to make it perfect. Let the page evolve on its own, organically. Personally, I'm thrilled with this page, and I proved to myself that I do not need to spend hours on a layout to get the final effect I desire.

I urge you to reexamine your own scrapping habits, and I bet you'll also find areas where you waste time unproductively. I hope that you also find more time to scrap, as I did today. Let me know!

About this page: Do your kids ever make you so irritated and stressed out that you swear you will kill them (figuratively that is ;) On vacation last year, we had an opportunity to all be in a family photo (usually I'm the missing member). Adam was screaming mad, and in complete hysteria when I attempted to lift him up on the rock wall. He literally believed that the day came when I want to push him off the cliff. Hence the title of the layout: Where is the Trust?

Journaling reads: Adam, We attempted to pose for a family snapshot at the Ash Cave of Hocking Hills, OH. However, you were hysterically screaming being convinced that I’m lifting you up to throw you over the edge of the rock wall. No amount of reassurance would convince you that I would hold on to you. Where’s the trust buddy? July 24,2010.

Lithuanian translation:

Šis skrebukas buvo sumestas pagal mano naujametinio tikslo žodį: Veiksmas. Panagrinėjant savo skrebinimo tendencijas, paaiškėjo kad per daug laiko leidžiu nereikšminguose detalėse. Šis skrebukas buvo sumestas 5-10 minučių tarpais, ir svarbiausia kad dienos laiku (daug kas žino kad aš skrebinu tiktai naktimis). 

Apie skrebuką: Nuotraukoje mūsų šeimos visi nariai kartu (tai retas reiškinys kadangi dažniausiai aš fotografė). Bandžiau mažylį Adomuką pasodinti ant kalno sienos, bet jis isteriškai klykė kadangi pagalvojo jog atėjo ta diena kada mama jį numes nuo kalno. Tad ir pavadinimas toks: Mažyli, "Kur pasitikėjimas?"

Iš anksto, ačiū už komentarus!
