hey all!
im involved in a circle journal (CJ) on ukscrappers (www.ukscrappers.co.uk), and was having an issue with ideas for the most recent CJ i'd received. It's going to be sent to the next member tomorrow so i thought I would work on it tonight (well i said to myself I'd work on it all weekend but life never seems to go according to plan at any point, right? :) ).
So i looked at the photos, chose them and then decided to raid my stash collection to see what i had available to use.
At first i went with the colours. The first part of the layout was easy, as there was a beautiful design on the dress of one of the people in the picture so i went with that, and found a gorgeous flowered design which went perfectly like it was made for that purpose!
I then found vinyl stickers that are in kind of a posh design, to use for the corners of the picture i was using, which i didn't notice had glitter in until i looked closely.
The rest of the first part seemed to fall into place. I love it when that happens!
Ideas kept snap, snap, snapping into place so within about 15 minutes i had all the pieces for that part of the layout.
The second part wasn't difficult either but the colours in the second part are yellow and blue. Should be pretty simple right? Not exactly...
You know that feeling that the stash you want is around somewhere but you can't remember where it is in that "organized" crafting space?
I swear its always the way for me.
I eventually found the cardstock I wanted with everything else and am now messing up my front room floor with all the bits for the double layout (DLO) for the CJ. All the bits came together down the little bits i need to finish it off. I was so happy to get it sorted. Now im just creating the pages and will post pics when im done
well done! looking forward to seeing the pics :)
