In my teens I was a big Aerosmith fan and I remember distinctly using one of their albums on random to decide which boy I should go out with. Ahh the innocence of youth! And the joy of having options!
If I don't get to blog anymore over the weekend HAPPY EASTER to all my followers and readers of my blog. Hope you all get lots of exciting treats from the easter bunny - check out my previous post for a great easter cookie recipe.

Skinny love...
Ohhh I posted my previous post on facebook and have had loads more pageviews...perhaps I shouldn't keep my little blog all to myself and other scrappers. I sometimes worry that it is a bit geeky to non-scrappers and think they will percieve me as a wierdo who sits in her spare room cutting out flowers and hearts...does anyone else think this?
So anyways back to my "geeky" scrapping. I tried two new techniques on this page:
1) Using lace cardstock as a mask and misting with two different colours. The result of which I am totally loving - a lot more interesting than just using the lace cardstock.
2) Julie Kirk's cute little cartoon style stamping technique. I have not described it well so check it out here. I didn't do a strip as I didn't really have space. I also don't have any cute little stamps of people, so had to settle for a squirrel as it's all I had, but it did fit in well with the layout.

Cute squirrel!! What a nice stamp. Thanks for letting me know you tried my idea.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes - you shouldn't worry about your scrapping geekiness because [a] Geek is good and [b] I tweeted about scalloped heart dies today [+ even though I wonder what my non-scrapping friends must think] I've lived to tell the tale.
Julie :-)
p.s: I too was a teenage Aerosmith fan!
