Last sunday I started working\u00a0on\u00a0a layout for the new challenge for OLW (Word Up # 41 is “Miracle”)\u00a0I found just the right pictures to use, but hey, don’t expect my layout to be finished yet…<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The problem is that I also have ideas for the next challenge at ScrapMojo and\u00a0whenever I have several ideas for different layouts in my head,
\neverything gets mixed up inside and my head starts to\u00a0swirl!
\nSome people can\u00a0work on different LO’s at the same time but not me.
\nI first have to get rid of the images in my head belonging to one layout in order to start on the other.
\nAnd that always takes more time than I wish…<\/p>\n

You’d say I should know by now, but no, I\u00a0got so exited\u00a0about all the plans
\nthat I\u00a0just\u00a0started to\u00a0mix and match and began working in chaos.
\nThat\u00a0always ends\u00a0with\u00a0grabbing the wrong colour paper, not finding the font that fits &\u00a0choosing all the wrong emballishments!
\nLuckely I DID learn from\u00a0former experiences NOT to glue anything when exited and enthousiastic in a chaotic way like this…
\nAnd yes, it ended like all the times before\u00a0– I spend\u00a0a sunday afternoon\u00a0shoving (the wrong) paper and lifting covers from boxes with all the wrong stuff in it.<\/p>\n

But now I’m back on track! My layout is coming along strong.
\nI\u00a0just painted the\u00a0(chipboard) font I want to use and now I have to wait\u00a0for the paint to dry. I found exactly the right colour, but\u00a0the paint is mend for modelmaking (my son started building a plastic spaceship once, he never finished it though.) It smells like hell and I guess it takes hours to dry up,
\nbut it gave exactly the right effect when I used it on chipboard!<\/p>\n

Oh well,\u00a0that\u00a0gives me time to catch up with you by writing a post and showing you some photo’s my son took a few weeks ago… me as a photographer!<\/p>\n
