Scrapbooking marches on

[dreamshark]

I dropped by Denny's house to look through Terry's sewing stuff hoping to find a circle cutter (they can be used for either paper or fabric). Didn't find that, but I did get four empty archival scrapbooks that Terry had never even used. Wow! Three of them are that gigantic 12x12 square size that I find kind of unwieldy, but I do have a lot of paper that size. Now I guess I'll have to come up with more scrapbook ideas.

Currently I'm working on an 8-1/2" x 11" Amber book . Here's a typical page under construction. I'm making slow progress because I'm still figuring out materials, tools, and techniques. On this page I discover Avery Label Templates online! Avery has literally HUNDREDS of label designs that can be modified and printed for free. Here I used a template for an oval label and printed it on that very label. But you don't actually have to print them on labels at all; you can print them on matte or glossy paper, trim them, and paste them onto any number of layers of cardboard. Cool beans! This page also makes use of a couple of pre-cut paper frames that I somehow ended up with after that crafting weekend and several "punch outs" from pads of scrapbook paper that I picked up there.
