Some Pages

Yes, I am still here, just been preoccupied with that boring occurance called everyday life...although I seem to have little to show in the shape of neatly folded washing or a clean house, but quite a messy office desk.

Anyhow, I thought I would share with you this page I did a little while ago, in the face of the impending deadlines that I tackled last week (nothing like procrastinating down to the last minute!)

I did this very quickly, and grabbed the paper on the top of the pile, and dug through and found some suitable card.  My paper and card stock is at the moment woefully disorganised - I am waiting to purchase the storage shelves in a little while, when we don't have so many big bills to pay (there you go, real life intefereing again!) so I can stack up my cardstock in lovely little piles of colours....

And I did this one today, with no real life supplies involved at all.....

Silly me didn't put an outline around the white 12x12 base, but you get the idea.  Plan to print just the outlined section you can see above, and then just stick down on some white cardstock and done.

Are you noticing any similarities between my real life scrapping and digital efforts (albeit using a CZ template for the latter)? I am getting so lazy these days, I dont' even bother looking for inspiration or a sketch or layout to guide me (my usual way of doing things) - I am so attached to the linear collage way of doing things in Elements, that it is flowing across into how I place things on the page in real life. Not that I ever had too many non-symetrical out there layouts before hand anyway!

Up to week 10 in DYL, and I have to confess I have not progressed past week (assymetry) in the layout department.  One of my biggest reasons for signing up to DYL (apart from getting instruction from CZ!) was to push me to get more pages done.  I hope to get back into it soon...but in the meantime.....

I am off for a nanna nap ....thanks to a not-so-late but nevertheless tiring birthday party last night. An 8th birthday party, but what an excuse for the adults to get together as well  :-)  Not one drop of alcohol passed my lips - so why do I have a headache?!!
