Before I post my scrapbook layout I’ll give you a
quick update on the appliance saga……nothing runs smoothly for us! We found out
late yesterday afternoon that the stove was in and would be delivered Friday but
the refrigerator was back ordered – groan. I told the store that we had Habitat
for Humanity arranged to pick up both our appliances in the morning so we would
call them to say only one was ready. Instead the lady at the store said, “No,
don’t make them make two trips. We will supply you with a loaner fridge but it
will be white, not stainless steel”. So nice of them! This is why we deal with
family owned…. Mom and Pop shops as some people call them….instead of the big
box stores!....and their prices were the same as the big box stores too.
I thought I would end the week with a scrapbook layout.
It’s been awhile since I’ve posted any.
We had our youngest grandson for the weekend and I
took him to the park. The photos were transferred to a digital template but I
added the photo that is on an angle. This is easy to do in Photoshop. Once it
was printed out I just outlined it in a black photo safe pen. The word “fun”
was added to that bottom rectangle in Photoshop instead of a photo….and the
colour is just digital paper.
Once it was printed out it was glued to far left
of the background paper…. which is a combination of left over strips that
picked up all the colours in the photos. This is page one of a two page layout
and the background paper is the same in the second layout which I hope to post
next week…if I remember! To fill up the space on the far right I took some
small tags I had printed from the Internet….sort of like Project Life products…
and inked the edges on some and mounted some on other paper. Then I stitched
wavy stitch lines down the page…tricky to do with a sewing machine sometimes
when you don’t plan ahead….which I don’t…. but it worked. Then I poked holes in
the top of each tag and ran a thread through them and taped it to the back.
Then I glued on the tags so it looks like they attached to the thread. I added
the embellishments, brads and buttons.
That’s all for another hot day – Friday, August
10, 2018. Have a wonderful, safe and creative weekend everyone!
Cheers
Violet
