I used a lovely paper trimmer at the crop belonging to Anne.
Its big and heavy but easy to measure up properly and cuts sharply.
Trouble is she bought it in Australia and it is not a make available here!
My X cut guillotine is useless - so I tend not to use it and
cut everything out by ruler and knife
- usually resulting in wonky lines.
People are raving about the Making Memories one which is £44
which is a lot of money - but I think that should be my next purchase.
The first 2 layouts are taken from pencil Lines sketch no 73.
This second one has been turned round at a 45 degree angle and is inspired by Tracey Hudson's take on the sketch. I do like this one - it seems to work really well and I just love Basic Grey!
This 3rd layout was quite spontaneous and I really like it. I think the papers are bright and fab and suit the photo just right. The papers are Sasafraass lass from Scrapagogo June 2007 kit. See there is a reason why I don't use them up straight away - just waiting for the right photo.
this 4th layout - I don't really like at all! I have had these photos sitting on the desk for ages waiting to be scrapped, but I could not really think of a story to go with them and I do like journalling or a snazzy title on a page. However I was determined to use the Anna Griffin flower stickers as well - but they just look naff so all in all a disappointment - but at least I have scrapped these photos.
I have decided now to just scrap the photos that really have a story to tell - so my desk is covered with loads of photos and I am just going to pick out 6 or so - to start working on. The other decision I have made is to start using up my Scrapagogo kits - as they are taking over my scrap room. There is hardly much point in paying £30 a month to have them just sitting there.
