Seeking my passion again

It has happened. After 9 months I have finally found the time to craft again! Cue the confetti canons and make some noise! I have been trying to get to this point since my little guy was born and because of constant feedings, sleep regressions, teething and trying to get housework done I had not had the time to create. And I mean really create. I might have done a quick card here or made a quick cut out but nothing big. Now I"m finally getting stuff done!

One thing that is really helping me is that Cricut finally released their Design Space app for android! More confetti! We android users have been waiting for this day for a long time. Now it is till in Beta form but some of the recent updates have made it easier to create. And I have been a designing while I'm nursing or laying in bed with hubby and baby. I've even cut a few things straight from my phone! Completely ecstatic about this. I can't wait for the full version where I can expand my designs even more but until then I can at least start a project on my phone and finish it on the computer after baby goes to bed. So much easier and quicker this way.

So let me tell you what I've been working on. I started an Instagram page solely for my crafts. You can see a preview on the right side of this blog. And if you'd like, you can follow me! My new obsession has been vinyl. I LOVE making wall clings or even personalizing some items for my son and nephew. Now that doesn't mean I've completely abandoned traditional scrapbooking I just haven't had the time. Until now! My first project is going to be my son's scrapbook. I have been taking his hand and footprint every month (which reminds me that I have to do this month) and took advantage recently of Shutterfly's free prints. I had previously printed out a few photos when he was 2 months but needed more photos. So on nights like tonight I will be scrapbooking my little heart out. Oh and writing a blog post here and there too.

So I'm off! The adhesive and cardstock is calling! I'll write to you all later!
