Motivation Monday #1 - Getting more of you in your albums

I know I am guilty of this. I look back through the albums I have created and more often than not I have done more in documenting about my family and friends than I have about me. I am challenging myself to tell more of my story in my scrapbook pages. I've come up with a list of layout idea prompts that I want to share with you.

I will be sharing some of these layouts in the coming weeks. I want to challenge you to try to add more of you to your scrapbook layouts and share them! You can use the list I have here or come up with your own prompts. I will have a little gift for everyone that shares a layout and tags me by the end of August. Looking forward to seeing your layouts!

Motivation Monday

Sharing a bit of what gets me motivated when I feel in a scrapbooking or card making funk. I follow quite a few sketch blogs and I find that seeing the sketches and what others have created with that sketch helps get my creativity going.

Today I wanted to work on cards for Father's Day so I hoped on over to Freshly Made Sketches to check out the latest sketch and it was just the push that I needed. Here is my finished card and the sketch that inspired it.

Freshly Made Sketches - Sketch #340

For the card I used the Rad Dad Stamp set, White Daisy cardstock, Almond cardstock, Gold Shimmer Trim, Toffee Exclusive Inks Stamp Pad, Sapphire Exclusive Inks Stamp Pad and Archival Black Exclusive Inks Stamp Pad. The Rad Dad Stamp set is available through the end of June. 

Hope you enjoy the card. Comment with what helps you get motivated to craft.
