Bam!

I have had this layout sitting on my desk for, oh, about 3 weeks or so.  I finally decided to get off my booty and finish it.  My scrapbooking volume has gone way down in the past 8-9 months.  I used to make 4-5 layouts a week and now I'm lucky if I do that many in a month.  

I've been using my handwriting on layouts lately, even though I'm not a big fan of my handwriting.  I'm never in love with the finished product when I use my handwriting, but I do like the fact that it is a whole hell of a lot faster than using the computer.  It makes me a lot more nervous though.  I hate it when I spell things wrong or my writing is all slanted or crappity.  I especially hate it when I screw something up and then have to rip the whole layout apart and completely redo it.  That is bad. 

It's done though.

In the album it goes.

Amen.

It's all so cute! The little strip, the heart, and of course the cutie subject :)
I get nervous about mistakes too, so I lightly do it in pencil first and then go over it and erase the pencil marks. It's the obsessive compulsive in me I guess.

I dig the handwriting. I think scrapbook pages can look an awful lot like they are trying to be professional advertisements when they are way too perfect. Besides, when you're dead or senile (which I hope won't happen for at least 70 years), these little touches will mean so much to your babes (or great-grand babes).

Great layout and I love handwritting on layouts no matter if you think it's crappity your future generations will dig seeing it. That said sometimes I find myself journaling by hand makes me tell less of a story than if I was at my p.c.
