I'm coming to realise that I am a pretty simple scrapbooker and crafter.
I love simple clean lines most of the time. It's what appeals to me and what I am drawn to. I also think that in my quest for the inexpensive I try and make good use of my supplies and the stuff that I already have. I'm always trying to re purpose and see if something can be used in a different way. For this layout I wanted to capture the quietness of my son playing. I couldn't find the right red patterned paper so I ended up using a sewn calender page I had in my stash. I covered up the days of the week with strips of paper at the top. The star (with the button on top of it) was from a Heidi Swap sequenced pack I had gotten, I just turned it over and used the non-sequence side. I also roughed up the photos by using a sanding block and "scratching" along the photos edges. I always love the feel of old vintage :) So, here's to using your stash and old stuff made new again!
