Finished up a simple layout of Casey my "lapdog" on the weekend...My LSS has beautiful Basic Grey paper, so it really doesn't need a lot of embellishments. I machine-sewed another sheet of Basic Grey onto the background to mat the photo of Casey on my lap outside on our deck. The title is hand-cut from computer fonts, with the "O" mimiking a dog collar with a small silver charm with Casey's name on it, held on by wire. The vellum journalling block is held on with yellow flower eyelets and stamped with one of my new Creative Memories clear foam stamps and yellow acrylic paint.
Today's challenge at 2Peas is "what would be on your scrapbooking wish list if cost were not an issue?"
I would have to say either a tall wire paper rack like the LSS has, or a larger room to spread out in. My room is so small (
take a peek here), I have to keep it efficient and cleaned up, or else the cats will play with my stuff!
For a prairie girl, I sure did love doing mountain scenes! I look at these with mixed feelings; critical of those terrible trees, but happy with the mountains and clouds....and I had no idea of focal points or balance. Oh well, it's kinda cool to re-visit these again, nearly 30 years later!
