Finally...... finished

Finished, done and in the album..... I just don't cross the finish line in a hurry, in fact I am inclined to think this is the longest part of completing a layout for me...... the stumbling block on this layout was I just didn't like the look of handwritten journalling on display so I have saved that for the tag that is tucked under the photo (on the left with twine through it and buttons on top).

I also didnt like the placement of the cluster of cardstock attached with a red heart brad.

So.... a few changes from my 'in progress' photo of yesterday, nonetheless I am now officially calling it done!

A few close ups - I like to see these on other crafters blogs -



I am 99% happy with this page.... given that I haven't scrapped in so long..... my next project is a black and white photo of my dd (dear daughter) and gg (gorgeous grandson) using Teresa Collins Tell Your Story small and large journaling cards..... here is a few pics of what I have pulled together to get started with -

For the title, I am waiting on the DIY American Craft Thickers that I saw for the first time here- an informative and unbiased demonstration by Glitter Girl, Shimelle Laine.

I intend to use my copic markers in the Blue Green family - most likely BG10 BG15 and BG23, shall decide once this layout is well underway.

Bye for now,
Michelle.
