Cityscape (Or Should That Be Scrap?)

Just a quick post and run this morning. So little time and so much laundry! But, I did want to show off my latest scrapbook page inspired by the Something From (Almost) Nothing. It's another page made using paper scraps - mainly what I had lying around on my desk (and, um, floor!)

The class has been very inspiring. I'm enjoying putting together my pages; trying new styles and techniques. It's good just to take my time with each page and really rummage through the products that I have. Normally, I try to finish my pages quickly as I like the satisfaction of finishing them in one sitting, but I'm finding that by giving myself a little more time I'm enjoying the process a lot more and my ideas have time to form properly. I always thought I didn't have the 'proper' stash to do the layouts I wanted to. I just never gave myself time to really hunt it down or find alternatives.

As a result, I'm now much happier with my finished pages - and I'm much happier with my meagre stash. And, of course, it's great to finally scrap the photographs that have been neglected.

  5. I LOVE this page!!! The colors, the strips, the bling... Gorgeous!!!

    I'm really enjoying Shimelle's class too. It has really brought me back to scrapbooking and it's been fun to use the supplies that I loved enough to buy in the first place but forgot about along the way.

  9. Not wanting to sound repetitive, the colurs really are great in this page!
    I always rush my pages - I somehow feel the need to get it all done quickly, that's part of the reason why I like plain and unadorned layouts myself and always wish I could embellish more!
