Scrapping Quiet Time

The last two weeks have seen very little scrapping done.... yes very LITTLE!!!  I'm still trying to finish my framed layout... must just modpodge it now and get a backing board for it.  I did manage to do one layout this past week... which also took about three days to work on as I did painting and stamping on it too.

I did this layout based on an old article I had saved from a Craftwise magazine.  The original layout was by Sarah du Pont.

I made all my own envelopes and then used stamp stickers as well as a postmark stamp.  For the sealing wax I had some ready made ones so used those... painted one white first as it was pink!

Other news from the weekend... I went to Hobby-X yesterday... for me it was pretty much the same as last year.  I managed to get a whole bunch of back issue magazines so have some reading to do this week.  I also bought two mega punches... a square and a circle.... so cropping photos will be slightly easier now.

I've worked out my layout-a-day goal list today... and as of now I'm running even... ie done 73 layouts in 73 days... best I get scrapping again so that I can be ahead again... once I fall behind I never seem to catch a breathe again.

Lovely layouts Cathy. You should try some of the templates that Desire of Doing Life sells - certainly help with cutting out shapes for photos and paper.
