Word-A-Week photography challenge #10 and a scrapbook page

So first off today, my photo for last week's word-a-week challenge. The theme was 'letters'.

This shows, many, many letters and sums up life for me at the moment.
Revision, revision, revision. I am spending most of my weekends making revision sheets like this one, particularly for Biology which is the subject I am struggling with most. I used the prime lens to get a really shallow DofF, which I love :)

The large amount of revision explains why I haven't been scrapping much recently, I've missed 2 sketchy Thursday's sketches and Emilie's colour challenge for a few weeks, and it looks like I'll probably miss this weeks too!! However, on Friday night, after a full day of lessons and lots of work, I decided to sit down and scrap. I noticed a page from my Prom book that I'd started and didn't like, so I decided to sort it out. Here is how it finished up.


I quite like it now, it feels good to have rescued it, and I'm very glad I stopped and walked away before sticking it down when I first tried it as I much prefer this attempt. I am very pleased with the flower. I finally plucked up the courage to try the technique where you melt the edges of the fabric, making it ruffle slightly and stop fraying. It looked awful before, so flat and lifeless, but as soon as you heat it it gives it a great form and a bit of life. I shall definitely be doing more of these sort of flowers :)

I hope you've all had a great weekend, it's been nice weather here again, although we still haven't had much rain!!!

Bye for now, I'll be back with next weeks word-a-week in a mo.

I really hope you do well, sounds like you are putting in the work and deserve to. I love that page. That heart is gorgeous. I love the distressed adges.
Thank you for the ward recently, that was really kind of you to think of me.
Take care and good luck with your revision this week x

This is a lovely LO! It is sometimes better to just walk away rather than trying desperatly to make it work! This is a great result!

Good luck with all that revision, and thank-you for honouring me with a blog award - I'll be blogging about it later this week! It was the blue flower that caught my eye in your photo, so great to know how it was created.
