Went to a Crop at my local scrapbook shop with my two
best buds and we had a blast.
However, it's stressful packing for a crop (at least for me).
So I decided to go with premade and as you
may know, this puppy has been in the works for weeks.
It started with the making of the guts
with all TH stuff.
Then, I had to make covers of course.
And now, comes the photos....woohoo!!!
Well I skipped photos on the first 2 pages because
A. I like them as they are
B. Finding the right photo is stressful
Love how the album "layers out" and adding the
photos was fun and in my head which is always messing
with me I had to pick the perfect picture.
Don't know about you but a lot of my pictures are
not perfect.
And I mostly decided on 1.9x1.9 size because
a. you can get 6 to a 4x6
and b. they fit really well, except for a few.
And then some no need for a photo -
love that option because I am seriously
running out of photos.
And some you may have seen before - gotta
do something with doubles.
I also included B&W photos of my family
and just dug these out of the way back machine on FB
so I didn't have to work that hard.
Some handdrawn flowers by moi -
I'm really having fun with that.
I didn't do anything with the tags because
I'm not sure what I want to do.
Maybe some journaling or maybe I'll just
zush it up .
I used quite a lot of ephemera and
I totally love that.
Unfortunately, I have a lot left.
Imagine being shocked by that.
I also was kind of torn.
More layers,
less???
However, my 2 scrappy pals were more than
happy to help.
Advice is mandated at a crop.
I love those owls and I have no clue how
I came to obtain them.
I must've done a swap with my pals.
It's good to exchange stuff -
keeps one of their toes when one
gets out of their comfort zone.
ooooo that little brad in the flower is a camera.
swoon.
I honestly didn't know what to do to the rooster and
I ran out of pictures.
Even at home now I can't decide.
I used some personal ephemera on the back page
a Springsteen concert ticket.
Took my oldest on this one by the way.
And the back cover.
This was soooo much fun and love that I put it
together first and then added photos..
You can see the no photos one here.
I actually made this album in January...
