One of my goals this year, is to start scrap booking! Watching my first grader pour over his year book from last year several times a week, I'm realizing just how important photographs are to him. He needs to have his very own book that tells HIS story. And, well, can't forget the baby girl, either! :) Her story is equally important -- and a little fresher in my memory.
In retrospect, the words should have gone all the way across the top of both pages, and then continued across the bottom since this is a 2 page layout, but too late now! I also think these pages look a little masculine, which wasn't my intention. But, beginnings have to start somewhere! While I would consider myself an avid and experienced stamper, I feel like SUCH a newbie when it comes to scrap booking. A whole new field, and that huge 12x12 expanse to balance and conquer. Truly an art! I've made several more pages since this one, though, and I can see improvements with each one. I am planning to start a hostess Scrappers club which will meet every other month, and we will do a 2 page 12x12 layout -- what better way to get myself scrap booking than to teach it! :) So, join my club and I promise we'll make some amazing layouts as well as explore some great techniques.
Supplies:
Card Stock: Whisper White, Tangerine Tango, Night of Navy
Ink: Night of Navy
Stamps: Retired "Wanted" stamp set
Accessories: Big Shot plus the Tasteful Trims XL die, square lattice embossing folder, Serrif Essentials upper case alphabet dies, retired 3 flower punch, Basic Pearls, Fancy Flower punch, Decorative Label punch, retired Tangerine Tango striped ribbon.
