A page at last

Finally I have a scrapbook page to show you.

This is the page I said I was going to send into Scrapbook Inspirations Ideas Book but because I was so late to make it into the second issue (which is out today), I saved it, however it doesn't fit into any of the next issues sections. So here it is.

I am so pleased with this page, I love it. I always love the pages I see that have lots of embellishments on them but I tend to not use many on a page. However, because I knew I was planning to send this into the magazine I made a special effort to use lots of embellishments and I'm so glad I did. I have decided to set myself a challenge to make a page for each issue using the criteria, which will make me use some different themes and try out different techniques.

I used a new technique to me on this page. I received some printed tape in a kit the other day and didn't know how to use it, however Emma (who's blog is called ' Sraps of my Mind') gave me the great idea to use it to cover chipboard letters. Here's a close up.

You cannot see from this photo but the lines where the tape is butted up together is obvious, but it looks fine and actually adds to the hand-decorated essence of the page. Thanks Emma, this tip was brilliant and worked perfectly with my page.

I've got another 2 exams out of the way now, my first Maths yesterday and my first English today. They both went well. Thank you for everyone's good luck wishes, they seem to be helping, I've felt happy with all my exams so far. Only 5 more to go and 10 days until I will have lots more time for scrapbooking, so more pages will be coming soon I promise.

Thanks for looking,

Hannah :)
