It feels like ages since I actually made something. So, when my mother in law asked me to personalize a composition book she bought for my seven year old today I jumped at it. My son is a Donkey Kong lover. But unfortunately for him (or fortunately, as far as we're concerned) he is only allowed to play video games on Saturdays and Sundays. As a result, my incredibly imaginative boy spends a lot of his down time dreaming about the video games that he is going to invent one day, and working out their characters, challenges, levels, etc. My mother in law thought it would be a good idea to have him start writing all of these fantastic ideas down and I agree. I can't wait for him to start doing this - imagine how fantastic its going to be when he looks back at these when he is 15, 16, 30 and even 40 years old. I get a little weepy thinking about it.
Here's what I started with.
And here's what I added.
It's certainly not terribly special, or ground-breaking in terms of design. Okay, maybe it's even a little boring. But it sure felt good to cut something! I think I was going through withdrawal and hopefully this fix will last me through the weekend. Thanks for stopping by!
Such a cool idea!! And your right, when he's older and on NBC (in an interview with some famous anchor) he will say,"Look what my mom and grandmom got me started doing..." I want to move into your basement and become your new best friend so you will teach me how to scrapbook. (best friend, stalker... what's the dif?) If you get a chance and are at Barnes and Noble, check out "digital studio" by Someret. It is all scrapbooking that I want to learn, only on the computer. You WON'T BELIEVE IT!!!
Yea! Karen's moving into my basement! I will warn you though - I don't do a ton of actual scrapbooking. I have been working with vinyl more than anything, and making the occasional card. I really want to start scrapping more. Oh, I've seen some fabulous digital scrapbooks. My blog design uses a digital kit. I'm just don't love it as much as I love my paper - and I have a lot of it!

Welcome to Sabriolet Designs. Who am I? A mid-western girl now living in the South. I wear a multitude of hats on any given day including: domestic goddess, wife, attorney, child advocate, mom, paper crafter extraordinaire, bookworm, and perennial Buffy The Vampire Slayer fan. A few years ago I began paper crafting and it has flourished into a full-fledged obsession. I simply love paper. Paper crafting has become a way for me to express myself, to see something through from beginning to end. There is a little piece of me in everything I create. And with that, I hope you enjoy what you see here.
All work on my blog is original unless stated otherwise. I strive to give credit where credit is due and I believe strongly in the do under others as you would have them do unto you principle. Karma people!! I hope my work inspires you, as I am inspired by others daily. With that said, please do not claim my work as your own or submit it for publication, contests, or challenges. Feel free to scraplift for your own personal enjoyment and link back to the original post. THANKS!!
