Who plans to spend at least part of NSD scrapping? Are there any particular photos or events you want to get scrapped? Any album or project you will be working on?

I'm going to be scrapping photos from our visit yesterday to the Chihuly Museum. I'm not quite sure how I want to scrap them yet. Any ideas?

 
not me! normally I would be bummed, but we have friends flying into town tomrrow for a long weekend trip and lots of fun stuff planend!
 
That is SO cool!! Misty! I need you to make a list of the top places you would go if you only had a couple days in seattle (end of august if that makes a difference) and my kiddos are 10 and 5!
 
Probably not. I'm trying to get some shopping done tonight but the rest of the weekend is pretty full. And Misty, I have no idea how you'd scrap that. Maybe more of a generic, non-themed,
colorful kit.
 
I'm going to a retreat tomorrow, so I have to get ready for that. But I'm trying to use Kristin & Zoe's new stuff before I get to work.
 
I've been scrapping like crazy all day, so tomorrow is for game playing, shopping and maybe a little scrapping. :)
 
I plan to scrap! My strategy is usually to shop when the shop goes live, participate in a few of the quicker games and contests, and then scrap as much as family life allows. I'll have more time on Sunday than tomorrow. Over the weekend I'd like to get 1 or 2 PL pages done (I am sooooo behind) and maybe a regular LO or 2 as well.

As for those pictures, I'd do a simple white background with bright, colorful embellishments.

I have been a scrapping machine today!! I hope to get some more scrapping done tomorrow too...just depends if my 6 year old feels good enough to go to his baseball and soccer games. I am thinking I am staying home with him and the little one tomorrow, which means I can get some scrapping done while hubby is at the 5 year old's games!!!!!!!

Glass art in a Children's Museum? Is it up high? I was so nervous walking my 5 years old through the museum.

Nope, but there are railings all around it. There's a HUGE sculpture in the middle of the spiral staircase. Every time I see it I decide I'm glad I'm not the one who has to dust it. LOL
 
I'm planning on scrapping tomorrow. This is going to be the first weekend since just after Christmas that I won't be packing, moving, unpacking, or planning for a party so it's going to be the first weekend I've had time to sit and scrap since the year began.

Awesome! Enjoy :)
 
I would love to get a little bit of scrapping done. I've done the bulk of my shopping, now just waiting for SSD and then I should be done. Next task unzipping and organizing everything...ugh!
 
Oh wow, Misty! The museum looks awesome! We went to the display that they had here this past year at the Botanical Gardens in Dallas, but it was not so awesome as some of those displays!

I actually had planned on scrapping ours like an old-fashioned scrapbook - black paper, photo corners, and just let the images shine! They are too colorful and too interesting to have distractions!
 
And Misty, I've already "wishlisted" that museum and sent the link on...that's gorgeous. I would also do a neutral background like black and some fontwork to make those pictures pop. Gorgeous!
 
I would love to be able to see several Chihuly's at once. We have one huge sculpture at an art museum in Orlando that is amazing so to see several would have to be just beautiful.

Sure thing! The area is usually beautiful that time of year.
 
We have a big Chihuly here in SLC as well. He did it for the Olympics, and it is amazing!! It's in the lobby of Abravanel Hall, which is the home of the Utah Symphony. I've performed there several times and I always get nervous watching people mill around in the lobby by that massive glass sculpture. It is soo beautiful, though!

I hope to scrap this weekend. I don't have anything particular in mind that I'm going to work on, although I'm way behind on my PL pages, and there are sooo many amazing PL style goodies coming out, so . . . I'm probably try to play with some of those.
 
I want to go see those....maybe we will take the kids there this weekend...but I want to scrap most of the day...no idea what or who, but whatever inspires me lol

It's pretty amazing. I think my favorite was the outdoor gardens and the way the sculptures are combine with nature. Very whimsical and at times felt wonderlandish.
 
Birthday weekend here as well and we move starting next week so not a lot of time for fun NSD stuff this time around :(

Very cool! Do you play an instrument? Sing?

I didn't realize how many places his art is displayed. He's from here and I didn't know a whole lot about him until this week.

I sing. I used to sing a lot, but the kids have slowed me down. I did get to perform there again in March, and it was wonderful to do some serious singing again.
 
I have work to finish up plus my kids have a fully agenda of sports and church activities, so I won't get to participate as much as I would like, but I will do my best?

I like this idea too. Just waiting for the kiddos to go to bed so I can settle in and play. :)
 
I wish. but I sprained my shoulder today and I'm in a sling. I can get on the computer but scrapping is out. :(
