I’m a creative who pulls inspiration from all corners of life—both the joyful highs and the real-life moments that punch you in the gut. Honestly, I don’t think I can pin down a single scrapbooking style for myself, so let’s just go with eclectic. My layouts really depend on my mindset. If I’m in a deep, cerebral mood, you’ll likely see something chaotic and messy. If I’m more relaxed, it tends to come out clean, simple, and structured.
My brain is usually running on several channels at once, so it’s completely normal for me to be working on a digital layout, dabbling in a hybrid project, and getting messy with art journaling or mixed media—all at the same time.
Here are a few of my go-to tools: Digital:Â Adobe Photoshop CC + my MacBook; Photos:Â Canon Rebel or iPhone; Hybrid:Â Cricut Joy + sewing machine; Art Journaling:Â watercolors, stencils, and artsticks
And when it comes to embellishments—digital or physical—I’m always reaching for messy threads, ribbons, and Polaroids. Always the Polaroids.
Displaying your photos!
Being a scrapper was what first got me interested in photography. I realized that having a beautiful photo can make all of the difference on a page. Now I’m not saying a beautiful photo is necessary, but it definitely helps!…

Valentine’s Day is in about three weeks, which means it’s the perfect time to start thinking about possible gifts for the one you love. Last year I made a “Love You” mini book as an anniversary gift for my husband. …
Who loves jewelry?
Pretty pictures are a passion of mine, but I have to admit that camera jewelry also makes my heart go pitter patter. Here are a few of my favorites (images are linked). Is this ring cute or what? Love these…
Date it Creatively
I love date elements! The are just so cool and can add that little something to any LO especially when used creatively. If you are anything like me the idea of having a cool looking date element vs implementing said…
My Favorite Food Blogs!
A week ago, I moved into an apartment for the first time. Well, during the school year at least! One of the things I am most excited about (other than having /way/ more space than usual) is cooking for myself….

Lacing Up
Hi, I’m Angie, and I’m a rebel. I’m a guest Polly this month (*squeal like a 12 year old*). And I’m doing a blog post that isn’t about scrapbooking. That’s how I roll. I’m going to talk instead about RUNNING….
