first layout in ages ....

but I have had to work really hard at it and I am not that pleased with it!


I knew I wanted to use this Fancy pants transparency as soon as I saw it in the kit yesterday and the photos seemed ideal at first thought - but after I had cut them up realised that they were purple & green whilst the transparency was reds, blues and greens - so a whole different colour palate. I stuck with the colours in the photos in the end and used some K & Company paper. I had a lovely green die cut swirl I wanted to use - but it was the wrong shade of green so looked silly, I tried a black one and that looked silly too, so ended up stamping one out and heat embossing it and the cutting out the fiddly shape - twice.


Its true practice makes perfect as it has been a while since I have scrapped and I was so rusty. This did not come together easily - everything was a struggle. I had better not leave another one so long as it is only a couple of weeks before I go away on the scrapbooking retreat and if I have forgotten how to do it - I will look I right plonker.
