Ive gone there.........................





I did it! I broke out the stuff I had been gathering for scrapbooking and finally started working on a layout. I stopped lingering in cyber space admiring other people's scrapbooking creations and I have started my very own page for the first time tonight! The one thing that I find very challenging for me is all the routes you can go down when creating a layout. It took me almost an hour to decide just on the paper that I would use for the background. Tonight I pretty much just layed it all out and played around with moving items and staring out it trying to get new ideas. I have not adhered anything down yet, so it has a long way to go. The good thing is that I have a clear vision pretty much of what I am going for. I could hardly contain myself so I had to take a few snaps of it in its beginning stages(way beginning). I am using a picture of me and Will and incorporating the lyrics from a beatles song(The Beatles are Will's favorite as well as mine) The picture is going to have a button border of various colored buttons that I will eventually sew on. The letters that spell out "Love" are from a chip board letter kit I had, I do not know the specifics on everything, im really not a specific type of girl(if that makes any sense). The "Love" is all a part of the big scheme of things, it of course in one of the many words used in the lyrics I will be using and I will have the rest flowing on the page. The grass is cut out from a plain green sheet of paper that I will later detail more and it will have one single flower coming out that will lead up to the Flower shaped button that is used at the "O" in the "Love".
All of this just spewed out of my head and I apologize for any confusion, just go with me! I still have to think up a little more, im sure it will come to me in time. Im excited!!!! See Will I have finally put all that stuff I have stashed away to good use, anyway who are you to talk? You are the king of collections!!
I hope to share more with you as time goes by. I just wanted to post some images so you can see and get an idea of what I am doing. Please excuse them though for not being the greatest pictures!
