Okay, secret? I loathe both die-cuts and themed paper, the very things on which scrapbooking was probably founded. So to put them all together - that's a real challenge! So what do you do? Put the things you don't like with the things you do - Just thought this was funny - I had started a post for this blog ages ago and it went like this, lol - I guess I was in a softer mood today! :)
Yeah, soooo... I'm not a die-cut person.
Like. At all.
I don't have them. I don't use them. I don't buy them. I don't own them. I never bought a machine. I never thought about buying a machine. I'm not saying die-cuts don't have their place in the scrapbooking world. I've seen many people use them successfully.
I'm just not one of them.
So Scrap Our Stash's 6th challenge became a real challenge.
Luckily, I keep a stash of such things for McKenna and I went shopping in her supplies. She helped me pick out a few things I might be able to use and on we went.
And then they added summer-themed papers.
Challenged.
I figure I can do anything in small doses, so I found all my supplies first and then found a picture to dazzle the page.
So I took SOS's challenge and combined it with one of my favorite lettering techniques. Well, not a technique, really - just mix and match. A great way to use up your letter stash, by the way! Another small stash secret - I didn't have enough yellow bling, so I tucked my sunshine in the clouds to block some rays.
All in all, I got enough on there to highlight the story that was to be - a little trouble!
Enjoy and visit us over at
SOS!!
