I am terribly cautious when using my craft goodies and paper .... even though I have plenty - I find myself saying this is too pretty or I might not find this flair or chippie again .
I have now devised a plan to outdo the stingy side of me . Obviously I know who I am scrapping and I say imagine if Dawn, or Mom or Ashleigh were to find out that you didn't think they were worth this paper or button........ Guilt creeps in and I have been using supplies more freely.
As was the case this time . When I saw the Scrap Africa mood board I knew which paper I wanted to use as it was so in tune with the torn and peeling and vintagey feel of the mood board. BUT I love this paper and its double sided with both sides equally lovely ..but what would Jacqui and Midge think if they knew I was hesitating .
So there goes the paper , my favourite clock flair , my heart key and some of my bestest blooms and diamantes.
Well worth it, as I really love this photo and think I managed to capture the magic of the moment.
So I am entering into Scrap Africa Mood board 69 using the peeled paper, the colours and the vintage feel of the board for inspiration and also tick ,tock,tick tock at Archi-scraps which asks for a clock or time piece on your layout.

This is really beautiful! And yes use that paper! Thanks for joining in with Archiscraps this month!
ReplyDeleteWow,how beautiful,thanks for joining in at Archiscraps this month
ReplyDeleteThat photo sure catches the emotions and you have scrapped it beautifully. So glad you used the paper and products, sure worth it. I used to be the same, and when it is double sided it seems even harder to use, but now I feel a sense of achievement to use the paper and products. So glad you joined in at Archiscraps and hope you join with us again

LOL...I think there is always a little stingy scrappy in us, especially when it comes to really pretty papers and elements! I think for me, the thing is to absolutely make the best use of all the goodies and truly showcase it to it's best! ;-) You have certainly done that here with your page...it really is so beautiful Wendy and you created a really special page! I love the beautiful elements too! ;-) Thanks ever so much for playing along with us at Scrap Africa! ;-)

ReplyDeleteAnd you had better use up some of that stash, sis, because your next haul is almost on the way!! xxx
ReplyDeleteI too tend to accumulate and then hoard my craft goodies as they are so darn expensive when importing and I'm afraid I may not be able to get them again. You're right, one needs to use the stuff and I think you captured this beautiful picture just perfectly.
