Neglecting the blog while I'm busy "Reaching for the stars"...

Hello blog followers! First let me just apologize for being a little sparse on the blog lately. I've been so busy designing for things with deadlines, balancing a demanding professional life, and helping with some family things in my personal life that I just haven't had time to get all of the blog content pulled together and posted. The good news is that I have lots of things in the works to share with you soon! :)

Today I'm doing a little project catch-up and thought I'd share with you a layout I did for a Club CK  "Two-hour challenge: Independence Challenge from Scrapbooking from the Inside Out" last month. I tend to be an event scrapbooker so I like to do these every once in awhile because it gets me to scrapbook the everyday and snapshots of "me." This particular challenge was about "money" and I chose to scrapbook about my own inner struggle between my desire for financial security (offered by my current job) and wanting to pursue my dream of working in the scrapbooking industry (the financial insecurity of getting started in a new profession).

Hence the following layout was born using October Afternoon's Space Age line.

Speaking of top secret things... I've got some big news (for me anyway) in the works, but I can't share it just yet. Man, the suspense is killing me! Guess you'll just have to stay tuned! In the mean time, I'll share the "top secret" hidden journaling with you.
