- I'm a general science student going into my third year of University. Majoring in Biology (organismal: animals and plants) and minoring in Philosophy.<br />
- I love scrapbooking.<br />
- I'm addicted to paper collecting and paper piecing, so each sheet of paper goes a long way.<br />
- I play volleyball. I'm 6'2 and hate running, so it was the natural choice.<br />
- My favorite color is grey, but I love to pair it with super bright colors. I also love bright colors on white. However, I don't like the color red, (I am fine with burgundy and oxblood and pink)<br />
- I can play 3 instruments: piano, french horn and alto saxophone. Those are ordered according to how much I like them.<br />
- I love reading. I never got to the point where I would read and walk at the same time, but I would always have a book in my bag.<br />

I kind of absolutely love this sweater, it's even in cashmere! It looks so cozy and so absolutely perfect to study in. But with a price tag of $686.00 it just isn't ever going to happen.

I really like teapots, and the color blue, and circles and color on a white background. So this teapot (from <a href="http://www.crateandbarrel.com/april-teapot-by-nomoco/s641391" target="_blank">Crate&Barrel</a>) is right up my alley! However, I seem to have expensive taste, $260 for a teapot is... crazy? <br />

Wine ice cream (from <a href="http://www.mercersdairy.com/Wine_Ice_Cream_home_page.php" target="_blank">here</a>), looks like a must try! When I go out with friends, I'll take a glass of wine over a "vodka slime" any day. Keeping things classy. But this would also be the absolute perfect ice cream for break up days... (my fingers are crossed that it is never needed and this ice cream will only be used for anniversary days instead)</div>

My boyfriend likes to tease me about my Fossil purse collection (I have 3), but his mom and I like to bond over our love of Fossil/Coach purses. So since I need a new wallet anyway, why not just bug him a little more and get my next wallet from <a href="http://www.fossil.com/en_US/shop/women/wallets/checkbook_wallets/maddox_signature_zip_clutch-sl3881p.html?parent_category_rn=331146&departmentCategoryId=331097&pn=c&cm_vc=331147&imagePath=SL3881998" target="_blank">Fossil</a>?</div>

So I thought I would condense a few recent pictures into one post and get a whole bunch of things out of the way all at once. Seeing as University is coming up into crunch time, I wont have any free space to schedule blog posts. I wish I could have enough time to write a WHOLE bunch of them and put them in a queue just like I can in tumblr... but NO TIME! So it looks like there will be no posting again for a long time after this one.</div>

I've kind of been in a pink-coral creative zone lately, I just LOVE that color. But, moving on, clockwise order! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i><b>Top Left:</b> I made some AMAZING cookies over my reading week. The recipes keep piling up on my pinterest board and I finally decided to try one. These are the Orange Creamsicle cookies (found <a href="http://www.the-girl-who-ate-everything.com/2010/04/creamsicle-cookies.html" target="_blank">here</a> ) and I highly HIGHLY recommend them. </i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i><b>Top Right:</b> I just went to this scrapbook store in my area that i recently found out about to pick up a bunch of new CHA goodies. This is a new page in progress (it's actually pretty much completed now, I just haven't updated the picture) The photos I used won't be on the page when I upload it in its entirety because they're from a modelling shoot I did for a swimsuit company. And uploading that would just be weird.</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i><b>Bottom Right:</b> At the restaurant I work at, we always have puppy and kitten notepads to write our orders on. The girls and I have taken to modifying the kittens and making them more distinguished. </i></div>

I'm taking an invertebrate zoology course this semester, even though I think most invertebrates are creepy and I definitely prefer vertebrates. But there are always some cool ones to look at. These pictures are from the day that my lab was looking at the Molluscs (these are the Gastropods or snails/slugs shells)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i><b>Top Left: </b>I think this may be my favorite shell ever. You can't really see from the picture, but the shell is completely covered in what we call nacre (the pearlescent covering you see on the insides of some shells) with kind of a frosty covering over-top. (it looks kind of like <a href="http://www.alexnat.com/coquillages/liste_generale/Coquillage%20Bathybembix%20argenteonitens.jpg" target="_blank">this picture</a> which is the same species, Bathybembix argenteonitens)</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i><b>Top Right: </b>(Family Architectonicidae, species unknown)</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i><b>Bottom Right:</b> (Nucella lamellosa)</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i><b>Bottom Left:</b> (Siratus alabaster)</i></div>

More random invertebrate lab pictures, but this time from the live tank!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i><b>Left:</b> Mussel shell (another example of the nacre, shiny layer)</i></div>

I never feel like my life in interesting enough to have anything to share. It's already tough for me to come up with journaling and ideas for new scrapbook pages to then come up with more new topics to blog about. So I thought to get back into blogging a bit, I would post some of my favorite scrapbook layouts from the past 6 months and kind of expand on what they're about or my favorite parts of them.<br />

So this LO was my first experience using spray ink, it was way messier than I expected (I dont have spray bottles so I used a toothbrush to spray the paint). I cut out a stencil using my silhouette cameo (by far the best scrapbook purchase I have ever made), held it down and started to spray the yellow, then orange, pink and green last. </div>

Even though this isn't my favorite LO I've ever made, it's got the first picture my BF and I have gotten of just us. We've been together for over a year so that's pretty bad, but we're long distance so we don't get a chance to see each other often.</div>

In case you're actually here because you like seeing what I create you can go to my TwoPeas profile (which is <a href="http://www.twopeasinabucket.com/user_profile/512354/" target="_blank">HERE</a>), because a lovely group of girls there makes sure I don't slack off in uploading my pages. I actually may be creating more than ever, because I have a book for a friend to do, as well as a 29 page challenge list for the Young Scrappers group. SO I've been busy creating.<br />

I'm taking a pretty serious line-up of courses this year (Anatomy, Psychology, Philosophy of Ethics, Zoology (Vertebrates) and Botany), but the good thing is, I'm actually excited to learn about this stuff. I find myself going to home and actually studying, or feeling a little stressed when people are trying to get me to waste time. I'm looking forward to this year, I'm looking forward to the rest of my degree and I'm definitely looking forward to how it's all going to turn out. </div>

I always print out my pictures first, I find they help me get a page started. Then I grab paper that fits in the colour scheme I've chosen, including a neutral looking 12x12 page for the background, and a couple of scraps in neutral colours as well. For this layout, I decided to do some blue, yellow and orange as my colours as I was focusing on spending time in the sun with my cousins. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here, I've started piecing together my basic layout plan. I've cropped my pictures to the size I want and have places them approximately how I want them on the layout. I normally start with the pictures just laying directly on the background paper and then I start adding sheep of paper underneath (but not cutting them yet). Here I've also pulled out some embellishments I made a while ago but never used. The colour scheme seems to work with them, so I'll try to incorporate them in my layout. </div>

I've started creating a mat background for my pictures, I chose the golden yellow paper to be the main background and I die cut the word sunshine in the bottom corner. I added strips of yellow, orange and white paper to the top of the yellow to add some interest and also mask a square that was previously cut out of the paper. I also found these little orange zig-zag borders that I added to look like triangles. </div>

I punched out some heart confetti from paper scraps and stitched a vellum heart over them to keep them down without glue. </div>

Added the photos and some visual interest to the top corner to balance out the layout. (I also really wanted to add some of the orange gingham onto the layout). A blue heart was also cut out and stitched into place. All I have to do now is glue down the paper rosette and add a couple more details. </div>

1: A Golden Retriever Puppy. This one is an ongoing want, pretty much for the last 16 years of my life. The first word I ever said was the name of my neighbours golden retriever, and my first sentence was "Tika sit." I'm pretty sure this means that I NEED a dog, but my parents just don't believe me. However, my mom did promise that as my University graduation present, they would buy me any dog I want, so I'm pretty much set in 6 years or so :)</div>

2: A new small purse. Whenever you go out partying with the girls, you never want to take a big purse with you. I already own one small one, but it's mint green and limits some of the things I can wear with it. If I could get a nice brown one, like this one from American Eagle, it would definitely give me more choices. </div>

3:The Little Bo Peep 6x6 pad from Crate paper: I love the pinks, yellows greens and florals in this pad, and I really love how the flowers are smaller prints so they're more useable. Also, the smaller pads are really useable and I always love flipping through a smaller pad of paper that's got matching colours. </div>

5: A trip to Venice. Ever since I read "The Book Thief" as a child, I've wanted to go to Venice. The book portrayed it as a magical place, and I love the idea of the canals. It's on my "next place to go" list, maybe I should make it official sometime by doing a page like Amy Tan did.</div>

6: This lace scarf: Luckily I've already started making one of these for myself, instead of grey, it's plum coloured. There was a fabric shop that was closing out, so everything was 60% off. So the scarf maybe cost me $15 to make rather than $50</div>

So today, we'll go for the when I scrap post.<br />
<br />
Being a university student makes it difficult to balance study time and fun time, but when I also throw work and volleyball into the mix it makes it even more difficult. Usually whenever I can grab anything more than 5 minutes I'll sit down and continue working on a page I've got on the go. Usually this means I have 2 or 3 pages on the go at once, because sometimes I get tired of always thinking of the same page for days at a time. This also means that sometimes a page won't get finished for a REALLY long time (meaning a month or two).<br />
<br />
Whenever I have a moment free from homework, or labs or all of my other activities, I like to plan pages or just come up with ideas. I have a notepad that's filled with page sketches and inspiring pictures.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I don't always use the sketches I make, but just taking time to think of new ideas usually ends up with a good starting point for a page.<br />

She decided to start it off with posts about who, when, where, why and how she scraps. I absolutely loved the idea and I think I'll borrow it from her (though I would recommend checking hers out, she's a much better writer than I am, and if you have kids, you'll definitely be able to relate).</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #10a1d6; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #10a1d6; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #10a1d6; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">So as today is the second day, I am on to "What" I Scrap (With).</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #10a1d6; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #10a1d6; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">I own very little in the way of embellishments. Maybe a couple of chipboard pieces, three rolls of washi tape and some die cut pieces. Other than that, I make my own embellishments out of patterned paper. To say I'm addicted to patterned paper would be an understatement. When I post the where I scrap sections, I'll have a picture of my paper shelves and then you'll be able to see how much paper I have (I'm pretty sure I have more than 2000 sheets). Whenever I walk into Michaels, I automatically go towards the paper sections and usually I don't leave without something. I'll be the first to admit that I have a problem, but I definitely know my mother agrees with me. I mostly buy pads of paper, because it's cheaper and because all the papers coordinate with one another. </span><br />

The Edamame collection, has tonnes of woodgrain patterns and neutrals. Some of my favourites for backgrounds. I definitely reach for this one first when planning a page.</div>

Thickers are my new favorite thing. For titles I used to do a lot of stamping or hand cutting paper, but I never really liked the results. So when I got my first pack of thickers in a page pack I was hooked. Since the I've bought 2 of the packs of 10 from Winners and another couple of packs that I liked at Michaels. I love how many shape options there are, and how many colours and finishes there are to choose from. Unless I cut a title out of paper, I always use Thickers.</div>

Some of my new favorite things to work with on my pages are paint, specifically Acrylic and Watercolour. I find acrylic easier to work with mostly because I have no formal training in watercolour and can never achieve the look I want unless it's a splatter.<br />

My silhouette is definitely one of my main tools other than my straight edge paper cutter. It has exponentially simplified my life. Now, I can make 10 invitations in less than an hour, or a page that takes half the time it used to. If you've been thinking of buying one for a while, but haven't decided whether it's worth it, I went through the same thing and I believe I definitely made the right choice for me. </div>

She decided to start it off with posts about who, when, where, why and how she scraps. I absolutely loved the idea and I think I'll borrow it from her (though I would recommend checking hers out, she's a much better writer than I am, and if you have kids, you'll definitely be able to relate).<br />
<br />
So today, I'll start off with "Who" I scrap.<br />
<br />
As I'm still way too young to have kids, I have a smaller amount of people I can regularly scrap. Most of my scrapbook pages are of me and my two best friends, or my family. Unfortunately, my brother is convinced that he's not photogenic and hates having pictures taken of him. So I get a lot of these pictures:<br />

It's a lot easier to make a page of my best friends, since they're always up for going on a photo excursion. They may be silly, and we may take WAY too many pictures, but they always give me a ton of pictures to work with and a ton of stories to share. We've known each other for a little more than 13 years and will most likely be the old ladies who have wheelchair races down the hall way of our seniors home. </div>

This last year has kind of been a tough one for us, we've had to face challenges we've never had to deal with before. None of us go to the same school anymore (I'm at one University, Rachel is at the other and Krystyne will going to school starting this fall), and we all work, so we have to schedule our time together. Sometimes, I'm lucky if I see them once a week. </div>

This year, my grandpa had his 80th birthday, so I got to hang out with all my favorite cousins. We all get together around every 2 years, so it's not like i get to see all of them that often.

I LOVE making lists. They help me keep everything straight as to what I want, what i need to do, and who needs something from me. So I've decided that I'll start and "I Want" list on my blog every Wednesday. It can be things I want to buy, things I want to do, or places I want to visit. SO here's to the first "I Want" Wednesday!<br />

The other day, I looked over to the side of my desk and realized how truly disgusting my pinboard looked. It was full of out dated papers (from like, kindergarten), stupid little magazine clippings of cartoon characters and a whole lot of old lists. So I decided to re-organize and make myself an inspiration board instead. I went on my pinterest and looked through all of the pins, putting my favourites into a word document. I printed off 3 pages worth and cut them out individually. Then I pinned them up individually and managed to pack all of them in!</div>

Unfortunately I ran out of push pins, so I had to start using sewing pins. I actually kind of like how they turned out, especially since I could match the colour better to the picture I was pinning. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As you may be able to see... I have a new header for my blog! I liked the old one, but thought it didn't really reflect how my style has changed in the past while, and I thought the old name was a little childish sounding. This is the old one:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Oh man, I LOVE this one. Like I'm so proud of myself I could probably scream. It's just absolutely perfect and TOTALLY looks how I hoped it would. The most difficult part was figuring out what to write on it other than my name. I put something slightly lame, but it's the most obvious way to describe my blog. I have a new obsession with watercolour paint and sketched flowers. I'm horrible at painting with watercolours, but I can paint a background and draw something on it no problem.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've decided that i'll be a little more faithful to my blog. Rather than just half-heartedly posting things, just to get my pictures up there, I'll actually put some solid effort into what I'm saying. With that said, I need to start incorporating the *joke* part of my title into my blog. SO for the first one (dedicated to my brothers dislike of the band One Direction)....</div>

The first one is a picture from grad of me and my friend Marta. Marta's last name is Ukrainian for wolf, so that is where the title came from.

The background of stitched diamonds was originally going to cover the whole page, but I think it would have looked too busy then, so I just stuck with a couple.</div>

The second page was just completed recently, and has parts of a project I decided not to finish a while back because of the amount of effort it would involve. The 3 flowers were made by first painting on watercolour papers with a mixture of purple, pink and yellow watercolours, then drawing and shading flowers in black ink.</div>

I still have so many pages to upload because my silhouette cameo is making it way easier to finish a page quickly. So I'll continue uploading two pages at a time until I've caught up. This post has two of my favorite pages I've ever made, partially because they both use my favorite colour combination, and partially because I just love how they turned out. The first page is another one from Florida, this time the picture is me feeding a baby kangaroo. </div>

I fell in love with the background cutout as soon as I saw it on the silhouette store, but when I put it over the background it was still missing something. So I put some watercolour streaking in red and yellow on the woodgrain paper and ended up loving the result. </div>

The second page is one I submitted a while ago for publishing. Unfortunately, I never heard back from anyone. I think I've waited long enough past the deadline, so I'll just go ahead and post it. This is another page where I pulled a ton of inspiration from Pinterest, i think I used a total of 4 or 5 different images in order to come up with this. </div>

Well for once I actually have more layouts made than time to make posts about them. So today I'll post two just to get them out of my hair. The first one is about a Tiger we saw at Busch gardens in Florida, and how close we got to him. The big picture is only taken with a 18-55 mm zoom lens, I didn't bring my telephoto lens with me, so you can imagine how close we were. The background was inspired by a picture of wallpaper on Pinterest, and the little black confetti was from a TwoPeas challenge.</div>

The second page is the first thing I made with my Silhouette Cameo. I love the Marvel superheros, and when I was in Florida, they had a whole section of Universal dedicated to them. So of course I had to dress up as Captain America after finding the shield and the shirt. The colour pattern for the background was inspired by the shield and the stars radiating outwards was inspired by a layout on Pinterest that you can find <a href="http://www.twopeasinabucket.com/gallery/member/493898-gluemeetspaper/1805878-18-months/">here</a> </div>

My family just came back from a trip to Disneyworld with friends, we had a fabulous time and I even got to try some things I've always dreamed of doing.... like getting to feed a GIRAFFEEE!! I love giraffes, they're my favorite animals because they're awkward and tall just like me.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Giraffes are really funny animals, they only care about you when you have food in your hand, and they have no clue what personal space is. As soon as the safari guide took out the lettuce, a giraffe named Captain booked it over to our truck and shoved his face as close as he could get. It was really funny because he wacked me with his neck in his rush to grab the food. My dad took tons of pictures for me while my brother and I fed them so i could have pictures to scrapbook. So here's the page I made!</div>

In 3 hours I'll be writing my last one and will finally be free for 4 months. I'm so utterly and completely exhausted that I can't wait for it to be over. I need a break!<br />
<br />
Therefore, to cheer myself and everyone else up, I will leave you all with a few adorable pictures from Pinterest.<br />

The pictures on this page are from more than a year ago. They've been sitting on my desk for an entire year, but I just didn't know what to do with them. Then I went shopping and picked up a bunch of beautiful new paper and had no pictures to scrap! And then these babies resurfaced and I was inspired to actually get them done and put together. I'm pretty happy with how this turned out, and I'm pretty sure I'm now addicted to woodgrain paper and doilies and quilt patterns. </div>

This page is about my younger brother and how I always told him that he would never be taller than me. Unfortunately he seems to be growing pretty fast. I'm a little taller than my mom (probably about half and inch) so you can see how close he's getting to being my height. He's only 15, so I have a feeling he's going to end up being the tallest one in our family since he's already started growing. (I'm guessing around 6'5? Actually probably just hoping because that means I can still compete if I wear heels)</div>

This is my first time focusing on layering in a layout. I first painted the background paper with a cornflower blue and then white acrylic paints. Then I watered down some black acrylic paint and used a toothbrush and a straw to spray it. I finally cut up my favorite sheet of printed transparency (the cream doily in the top right corner) which was incredibly hard to do, and another sheet of this blue and red printed paper.<br />

The rosette is handmade from a paint chip and circle and heart die cuts. I used a nail dotting tool and the grooves in my paper cutter to make (slightly uneven) crease lines and then folded into an accordion fold and glued the other elements on top. It's a LOT easier if you crease the lines before folding, just a tip haha.</div>

The other day I went on a walk with my family. The snow is finally starting to melt and it was absolutely beautiful outside. I brought along my camera like I always do but eventually my family gets tired of me taking pictures of them. While I'm lagging behind taking pictures of everything else, I look ahead and my mom and dad are holding hands walking together. How cute!</div>

My parents will be celebrating their 20th wedding anniversary soon, and through everything they've still been each-others best friends. To me, that's the kind of love you want. Yes they disagree about things, yes they're mad once in a while, but is there anything more beautiful than sharing life with your best friend? That's the kind of love I want, and someday hopefully that will happen. </div>

I had promised to make them cookies, and Reading week gave me the perfect opportunity to actually make them. Definitely the best "non chocolate chip" cookies I've ever made, so double up on the recipe! (Recipe found on Pinterest from <a href="http://tastykitchen.com/recipes/desserts/lemon-crinkle-cookies/">here</a> originally)<br />

My cookies definitely turned out puffier than this, not really sure why...<br />
<br />
I doubled up on the lemon zest (and possibly even the juice) and rather than pulling out my mixer I just used a large whisk. The dough is soft enough that you can still mix it easily enough, just make sure to add the flour a little at a time to make mixing easier and less messy :)Christinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07999082728045662582noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-346111421689466351.post-43989727767877519312012-02-29T03:00:00.000-08:002012-02-29T06:43:27.521-08:00First Blog Hop!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Welcome to my part of the Young Scrappers blog hop!<br />
<br />
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;">Young scrappers is a group on 2peas made up of scrappers anywhere from their teens to their thirties. Every month we have a new forum, where we talk about our lives, our pages and help each other out any way we can. It's definitely a fun place to be, and I've grown a lot with these ladies in the 6-ish months I've been there. </span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 14.0px;">

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;">This month, to celebrate the leap-year, we decided to do a blog hop! My theme is "Pinterest Inspired" since Pinterest has definitely affected the way I scrapbook. We have some giveaways and fun challenges along the way so make sure you visit all the blogs and enter comments to win goodies or participate! </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
My page was inspired by these three pictures from Pinterest. I wanted a page of what friendship means to myself and my two best friends in their own words and this layout with the three circle pictures was the perfect starting point. I also loved the colour scheme in the second picture with the cake decorations, and I thought it would be cool to incorporate the petal type design around each of the pictures. Continuing with the circle theme, I wanted the grey middle stripe to have an overlapping circle pattern like the third picture. </div>

Here's my planning page. Whenever I scrap using inspiration pictures I like to have them ordered according to the individual page. That way I can focus on just the pictures that I want to use as inspiration rather than having too many irrelevant things to look at. </div>

And here's the final product! As you can see, there were a couple minor changes to the sketch I made, but I stayed pretty true to my plan. I changed the title and the layout of it, and added in a couple of hand stitched hearts, but that's about it!</div>
