Still Inspired

I'm still being inspired by Something From (Almost) Nothing. So far we've started using up our metal embellishments, patterned paper scraps, ribbons, cardstock and page protectors - now it's on to stickers, flowers and buttons. There's some fabulous inspiration in the forums as well, so if you've ever wondered about taking one of Shimelle's classes, I can highly recommend it.

The last couple of weeks have been so hectic that I'm trying to catch up on the prompts before the class officially closes at the end of the month and, although I haven't been tackling the prompts in any kind of order, I've got a couple of layouts to share with you.

This first layout is a simple 6 x 12 layout using a photograph from our trip to Gloucestershire last summer. We got terribly lost, but as you can see, sometimes that's not such a bad thing! I used up some old Making Memories alpha stickers and a metal sticker embellishment - stash busting on a small scale.

And this layout? Well, it's been hanging around in my scrap room - unfinished - for almost a full year. It's a long story that I wanted to tell - a tongue in cheek look at my trust issues - but once I'd started it I didn't really know how I wanted to finish it. Since then, my scrapbooking style has evolved a little, but I'm glad to finally finish it off with lots of little flowers. It can now take it's place in my scrapbook album.

Does anyone else have layouts like that? Ones which linger around just waiting for some finishing touches? How do you decide which to leave and which to finish?
