Happy National Scrapbook Day 2019.
While playing along with sketches and challenges and having fun a crop with friends, I started a getting so many things accomplished. I left there at 5pm and once home could concentrate on the time challenges and got started using a sketch that was apart of one.
I have several photos that are a few years old as well as new and much older ones and I had worked on several already. So when this last challenge started, I really only had this one to do that had enough pics that it called for. In fact, there were another 2 with these but they weren't really that good so were omitted.
The journaling was not completed due to time but it this is of a fantastic time in which I won tickets to go to the Southern Women's show and then met the most fun people, including getting a fabulous new haircut by one of them. The one on the left page is of me with the new haircut. I had a really wonderful time and felt so pampered! To make this I started with a sketch that had to be reversed or turned on its side or backwards. I turned it on its side and used it with a paper pack I had brought to play with for several of my projects. You will see in another one yet to come.

I then used the stitched circle die to cut my pics into three circles intending to use the other one on the other side page. After doing that I chose the papers to cut into banners, and thought of the chicken wire stencil with Wendy Vecchi's metallic gold embossing paste to use as a honeycomb look down the page in the place of where the sketch has small circles. Loved how that came out so reused that idea on the left page later, and again used it in a "scallop" way so as not to use a straight line in any of it. The larger circle on the left page was made using an 8" cake pan traced onto the paper and cut out. The Altenew stamp and die set is a must to get pages accomplished! And so I really made the right pg title first and then matched the left's one to it from the words I had left to choose from the set. I really love how simply it came out. To get the circle into place, I fussy cut the springtime flowers with a kraft knife and then popped them up after placing the circle down. The small strip of paper was place through on of the cut holes and the glued into place. Hope you enjoy this and had fun yourselves on #NSD2019!
