Finally.......

Today finally saw me achieve something of the scrapbooking variety.... having dealt with the guilt of not having done much in the way of scrapbooking for many months now.... as a result of purchasing The Stamp Spot, an online stamp specialist store www.thestampspot.com.au  and a huge list of other distractions/tasks/obligations ... well...... I achieved a 90% completed page today!






Not everything is stuck down yet and typically of me I have decided the current 12x12 backing sheet will be trimmed down and will be matted onto a black 12x12... I think. There is just too much grey for my liking and I like to work in threes and at this point there are 2 solid black elements - the photo has black in the background and in shadows and the letters are black felt thickers - yes there is black and white checks in the photo and I have teamed that up with 2 placements of bakers twine (in black and white). Oh.... I have just realised I have left off the second bakers twine embellishment from the photo - a white paperclip with twine looped through it - it will go with the top right hand corners cluster of embellishments.
I also have the journalling to complete but the tag that I will be writing on is in place, Other than that I am going to call it done.

Its also just a snapshot for this blog post - I needed to take the photo quickly as daylight is fading fast in my part of the world ..... so yes ..... they are floor tiles underneath the page!

A few times during the creation process I sought reassurance from any of the many videos expertly put together by Shimelle, Glitter Girl at Two Peas in a Bucket www.twopeasinabucket.com to no avail, their server has been down for most of today. As a result, ironically, I stayed on track, I kept focused on completing as much of this page as I could.

I simply wanted to complete as much as I possibly could in the timeframe I had allocated.

However.....I discovered another type of guilt during this process....... more on that tomorrow.
