All things scrap...show + tell

challenge #2: cutting up patterned paper:
like papa, like son

here's what i started with

here's the end result

i really wanted to title it "like father, like son", but i was running low on the thickers, lol. i had to cut up a 'g' to make that 'o'

i bought the orange felt embellishments @ the scrapbook expo with j, they are SO thick!


i love this stamp! it's not a very good shot, but i used adhesive squares to pop it up

...and SO, once again, this was difficult for me (i didn't scraplift). clearly i didn't use THAT much paper, but i did cut it up :) it's actually 2 pieces i cut up then pasted together. i don't know why...the paper actually came that way, lol. did i say i hate being the rookie (how long do i get to use that one)? i think my biggest challenge is not so much the actual layout or placement of the images or paper, but the embellishing part. and colors...i am really trying to get away from being too "matchy". i guess it's something i will learn with time. i haven't scrapped in a few days and i think my mind is on closing out the end of the school year. thank goodness my SC kit is on it's way...did i mention i bought all (yes all) 3 add-on kits? i need to get back into the groove! :)

cheers! W
