All Done and ready for next...

I was on a roll last week. Finished 10 layouts that I had aimed for before my next crafts purchase. My motivation was Ali E's new book life artist.
After making 10 layouts and altering a composition book for Devesh's song lyrics, I realized that I haven't even made a scratch in the abundance of my scrap supplies. So, after rewarding myself with AliE's book, I am again gonna take a shopping break until I complete my next 10 layouts.
Another motivating factor in deciding to go 10 more layouts before scrapping purchase is that even though I am not using the latest products on the market but the pages are still very special to me and I am happy creating it and happy with the final product.
And that's what matters, right?

Simply perfect: I carried these pictures for almost a week before I sat down to scrap them. It turned out very different from what I had imagined but I like it just the way, simply perfect...



Just be you: I played with this layout. Lately, I am spending a lot of my free time in the blogging world and its providing me with lots of inspiration. This layout is one such place where I let myself be carefree and went with the title of the page...I love it.



I love you: A set of fun pictures, I really didn't know how to start and what technique to use. Just kept adding things. Not too disappointed with how it turned out.



Little Birdies: My daughters inspired the title of this page by the way they communicate. With this page the journaling came way before the layout...

It says:You two are friends for life, I can tell you that. Even with four months of closeness you too share something that I have never witnessed before.
You both have developed a language of your own.
You chirp. You squeak. You laugh.
And we wonder what that communication was all about.
I hope this bond strengthens with time and you both are there for each other long after we are gone.
Together. Chirping. Squeaking. Laughing.




Its a girl: This layout is more of a documentary page for my newborn's baby album. I planned the sketch for it and cropped the pictures decided about the color combination...basically my traditional way of scrapping.
