Back to Scrap’N

September 15th, 2008 Posted in Creative, Scrapbooking

Since I went to my scrapbook convention in August, I have been totally rejuvinated and want to scrap again. I pulled out some of my pages from last year that never got finished and got to work. It also took me some time since we moved to get my scanner hooked up, but here are a few (more to come with some from this year’s convention). Some got changed slightly (as I tend to do) and on a few of these scans the bottom got cut off a little.

This one got changed a bit. This was the SEI Wild & Crazy class from last year, and wild and crazy it was… a little too much for this girl. Here is what it orginally was supposed to look like: sei-wild.jpg. I think my changes toned it down some, while still maintaining many of the pages characteristics. I also ommitted the interactive elements… they just weren’t for this page. Maybe I can utilize them somewhere else.

This one is from last year’s Basic Grey class. It was a one-pager (left) and I added the right page. I always scrap so horizontally, so I felt I needed some vertical play on the opposite page. I also added the Prima leaves… I’ve had those for a few years and never used them… they found a home here.

This was Rusty Pickle’s class and I adore it! It was so much fun to add the burlap for texture. This page looks pretty true to it’s orginal (rusty-pickle-bloom.jpg), but I did move the elements around a little… flower from the left to the right and omitted the little accordian elements to get more photos on the page. I kinds wish I had printed the pictures in sepia instead of black and white, but I guess it gives some good contrast so the pics don’t blend in too much.

This was the page we did in the Jessica Sprague class and it was just so darn cute! I think I omitted the bling for the center of the flowers and added some brown brads instead. It just wasn’t feeling the bling for a David page. These papers and stickers are American Crafts.

I have many more to share, but I thought I would get these few out there. I also did a few from this year’s classes but have not scanned them yet. God, it feels good to be scrappin’ again. I cannot believe I went a year without it.

    of course, you chose to use black and white on flower photos? The colors are what are fun about those headbands…

    I’m loving your scrapbookery! It’s fun to see last years layouts (now I know what I missed) and I can’t wait to see what you do with this years. I really like your take on the sei layout much better than the original.

    I’ve completed a few from this year’s classes, but I’m struggling to commit to pics for some of the lo’s. Looking forward to seeing more of your stuff!
