This arrived Saturday morning and had some lovely goodies in it.
After trying a good quality trimmer at a crop I gave in and ordered this one from Making Memories. It was expensive, but once I got it out of its packaging - not an easy task!- it seems to be easy to use. My other guillotine was not very good - kept getting uneven lines so I gave up and just used a ruler and knife to cut everything - I am quite good at cutting like this but sometimes my matts are a bit uneven so hopefully this MM trimmer may make my presentation better.
I have been waiting to order this book by Stacy Julian called Photo Freedom for ages. I am half way through it at the moment - it is OK - but not sure if I am going to put into place her whole plan - may takes bits & pieces out of it. I have my photos organised in really useful boxes - one for each child. I still have lots of photos in albums and my plan for scrapping is just to go through the boxes and albums and find some photos that trigger of a nice memory or have a story that I want to tell. Because I have so many old photos to scrap I tend to do some old ones and then scrap some newer digital photos that are on my computer - and that I have fresher memories of.
April's Creating Keepsakes mag - its OK but I was more excited with my Aussie mag.
Acrylic album - this is my first one but not the one I really wanted. I wanted a square one with tabs on to use for my No Place Like Home project but she rang to say she had sold out of these so would I accept this instead - wish I had said no as it will be a nightmare to cut out papers for all these scallops - but perhaps not as the point of these clear albums is to be clear - so I can just add photos?
Autumn Leaves swirl stamp - lovely design but much smaller than I expected - hope I can use it on my large 12x12 layouts without it getting lost.
