Think outside the bun.

Here is a larger version (uploaded out of order...sorry) of the layout that I chose and was posted on CK's website when they featured me as one of the top 10 SOY Finalists. I couldn't help myself. I've got this Maple Syrup body scrub that smells so yummy when I smother it on myself, that it got me thinking how good it must be to be a piece of French Toast.

I know. It's not a normal thought, but as one who was thinking as a new scrapper, it just seemed fitting. It was my way of poking fun at this hobby that was taking over my life- my thoughts, my free time late into the evenings, and even the smells that inspired me while I was in the shower. I just had fun with the colors and making a piece of paper French Toast. On this layout, I included a little holder for recipes of my favorite, 'Baked Caramel French Toast'. Here's a true story...

I was over at Two Peas Message Board yesterday, and someone had posted a thread asking for recipes for baked French Toast. What do you think I found as I scrolled down that thread? Yep. Someone who met me at Memory Trends, had gotten a copy of my recipe (I was giving them out along with my cards and/or golf tees), and had linked my blogpost from January, I think, in which I had posted my recipe here at Nitty.Gritty. I found that funny. So, just wanted everyone to know that I don't only scrap my kids or the serious stuff of life. It's all about having fun, making it meaningful, and memorable. And now passing on a very good recipe to scrappers on their message boards!
