Scrapbook pages!

WooHoo! I got two more scrapbook pages done. I recently started getting a subscription to Scrapbooks Etc. and that magazine has so many great ideas! Both of these pages were inspired by layouts in there. Hopefully you will be seeing scrapbook pages a lot more frequently here. Who knows though. I must be the worlds slowest scrapper. I haven't done any journaling yet because I don't like my handwriting and my printer is out of ink. These pictures were taken about 8 years ago when my husband and I started dating. Still hard to believe that was so long ago. I was only 15 then!

I'm actually really happy with how these pages came out. Well aside from the title. I started off using chipboard letters that I made white with a white craft pad. The wouldn't ever dry! I was getting so darn frustrated. So finally I decided to go to Michael's and go buy some chipboard letters that were already white. Well, they only had one font, and I didn't like it at all. So I got these letters by Colorbox. I do like the letters, but I don't think they fit in. Wrong style or something. Now I'm kicking myself for not just putting the wet chipboard letters on there. Oh, well. It looks like I'm 'stuck' with them now, lol.

ETA: I just realized I forgot to mention, the large circle on this page was made by using a circle cutter, and the scallops were made from the 1 1/4" punch.
