Look at that wee face!
Back when the trees were starting to change colour and the rain hadn’t set in as yet, we took a stroll one Saturday afternoon to a stream about two minutes from our house. Who knew this was going to be the highlight of Piper’s year!? Even now, months later, she still talks about collecting leaves, listening to squirrels and throwing sticks in the river and watching them float away.
Thinking about this awesome day spent together as a family made me smile, so I knew I wanted to scrap it.
This project started with me playing with ink and Heidi swapp’s paper, but in the end I just included a little piece of this in the project.
It’s been ages since I did a 2-pager. I was delighted with myself when I came up with the idea of taping the two pages together at the back using washi tape. It stuck the pages together so I could use them as one canvas, but once my layout was finished I could remove the tape easily. Any overlapping papers I had to slice with my craft knife along this seam. It made working on a 12×24 project so much easier.
Here are some more piccys of the final project. Enjoy!
Oh, and by the way, I still have a few boxes left: Check out this post —-> GRAB BOXES

Are you like me? You know, when you make stuff, maybe even take some photos but then forget to blog it? I am rubbish at sharing everything i make. Self professed rubbishness.
I was flicking though my iPhone photo library and spotted lots of photos of projects which i hadn’t shared. I started making a list. The thing is… I always make lists. Grab a notebook. Make a list. Misplace the notebook. Grab another notebook. Make another list. ad infinitum.
Time for a change! When i was clearing down the craft room I found this little wooden box. It reminded me of the library card boxes. I took some scrapbook papers and my trimmer and set to work making a pile of little cards to fill the box.
I stuck some washi tape around the box and added some letter stickers. Next I took to my silhouette to make two little divider cards. Yeay! I love it. Now i can jot down each new project on one of the cards and stockpile them at the front, then once i blog it, can move it to the back. (from looking at the photos i have only just realised that i forgot to stick down the middle of the letter E. Ah well, never mind!)
Its even the perfect side to hold my date stamp. SORTED! 🙂
