the lazy scrapper

so I took some mental health time in light of the crazy two weeks in front of me, and did some scrapping. Printed out a few digital pages and assembled to put away.

It has struck me what a lazy scrapper I have become....

Evidence of such:

A digitally created page I have shared over at Simple Aussie Girls before. Simply printed out, trimmed a little and then plomped on a bit of cardstock, embracing white space and embellished (oh yes, EMBELLISHED!) with a bit o' brad action. Tried Nicole's circle punch idea. Not sure I carry it off as well as she does, to be honest. Oh well.

I don't think I could possibly get much lazier than this!

Playing

It is {finally!} a rainy, drizzly old day here, and after an interesting few days and flying trip to the city and back, and wandering around not quite sure what to do with myself {ignoring Mt Folding of course} I decided to play.

It started with this: a rough idea in my head that did not match any of the templates I have stashed away on my hard drive.

The most recent photo of the Big Girl - I have been slack with the camera and have taken hardly any photos of the kids this year. Bad mother! {and am I the only one wanting to take scissors to her fringe?!}

This is where I ended.  I don't think I am going to win any design awards, and that god awful photo that my printer produced will be staying, thanks to the stickiness of the double sided tape from Spotlight that they must also sell to airlines to hold planes together. When they say permanent, they mean it!  

And I finally used my purchased-before-Christmas toy, and it seemed to take an inordinately long time to figure out how to cut out that one word there, but geez, it was fun watching it happen! 

Might go and cut some more things now, just for fun. Perhaps some cute shapes to put on the kids bedroom doors! I'll share the results (after I wipe off the mildew - 24 hours of rainy-ish weather and its blossoming!)
