My last CJ entry.....

.....ever. Last year I decided to join a Circle Journal (CJ). It was the very first time for me, and I was quite enthusiastic in the beginning. During the period of this CJ a few things happened, and some members decided to quit. This all made it less fun for me. Today I finally finished my last entry. At the time I received the last CJ - end of August - I had a HUGE scrappers block, and I couldn't come up with something at all. It took me more than 2 months to finally create my entry. For this CJ you had to work with papers chosen by the owner. Not an easy task, because these K&Company papers are not my style......at all. I was the last person to work in this CJ and there were only 2 papers left to work with. Not much choice for me. LOL! This 'forced' me to scrap clean & simple, because there simply weren't enough papers to work with various layers. I usually don't scrap spreads, so making a 12x12" spread was another challenge. I guess you can tell that I didn't use a sketch (why do I think about this when the page is already finished?), because there is absolutely no match between the left and right page. Well, you can't always be 100% satisfied, and you also have to show your bad work from time to time. ;-) This CJ is all about Your secret ingredient. To me my secret ingredient is going away for a weekend with Eric without our girls, and spending quality time together. I think it is important to not only spend time as a family, but also as a couple. The picture quality isn't that good. It isn't easy to make pictures at this time of year when it is dark and cloudy outside. I did enjoy working on the CJ's, and I look forward to getting back my own CJ. Thanks for stopping by, and have a wonderful weekend!
