So here is how I am going to start. I'm not looking back at my scrapbook pages. I'm not going to worry about the box of what I planned on doing. I'm starting here.
Last year for Christmas, I bought Kayla the box set of Keri Smith books. I've also had a previous book - I think it's called Tear This Up - on my shelf for years. Last month I saw this in Barnes and Noble and it just tickled my fancy. I know the book has been out a while, but it really caught my attention this time. It's been resting on my scrapbook table with a few other things until this evening when I swear it called my name.
Boy did I answer. I busted out the stickers, 2 different embossing powders, my pen and 2 distress inks.
If you don't know me - I'm a little on the shy side with experimenting. It's a habit I've been trying to break for years and it looks like I may have finally accomplished that goal. That's for another post another time.
So I put my name on the book, covered it in the powders to help hold down the stickers (and I was curious how they would look) and just to be "safe", I've inked the cover, dropped the ink pad on it a couple of times, sprayed it with water and now I don't have to worry about a clean book.
Down to business.
To complete the book it says I must have:
Journal - check.
Scissors - check
some glue - yep - got that covered.
a stapler - have one, but no staples.
a needle and thread - have them, not sure I'll use them.
a digital camera - check check and check
a good eye - just one.
a courageous spirit - I'm trying :)
Alright - off to go start finishing my book.
night!
