Early bird gets the worm!

I'm actually ahead of the game this month! I had a few moments in my "Little Corner of the World" and got some stamping done! I'm playing along with my friend Angel and others in a Devine Design Bible Verse Challenge. I'm creating a 6x6 album of "Scriptures to Live By." It started out as "Proverbs to Live By" but as I was browsing through my scriptures, I came across this one. I've been having some frustrating times with my children and this one shouted at me!!! I have to remember this to keep my calm sometimes! I struggled with the design on this one, took MANY attempts to be satisfied with my layout. I tried to do it with 2 larger children, but it didn't look "finished" till I ended up personalizing it to my kids! Go Figure! The best thing is that I didn't stamp a SINGLE thing! It's all part of a Simply Scrappin' Kit that I've been carrying around for some time. I think it works perfectly, though.
So, here is my entry for the BVC09! FUN!!!
I bought a new notebook for my grocery shopping but it was plain, so I took care of that. I'm not completely satisfied with how it came out, but I had already started and committed (permanet glue) so had to continue. The red "flower" is actually attached to the blue elastic band, used to hold the notebook closed. I like how that part turned out, but I wasn't sure how to "finish" the center part with the words. Oh well... there will ALWAYS be a new notebook to play with in the future!!

LOVE your BVC09 page. I didn't stamp on mine either! And your notebook made me laugh out loud. LOVE how you've crossed out NEED and put want! SO true!
