Scrapbook page

As promised this past week, here's one of many scrapbook pages I finished recently.

I was running errands downtown and I had a lot of "hurry and wait" type situations. So I made the best use of my time and took a ton of Instagram photos.

I love Instagram.

Yes I do.

You can check out all my photos by clicking over there >>>> on the cleverly titled Instagram link! ;-)

I also love black and white photography.

Yes I do.

So I printed up a few photos and followed along with Shimelle on her blog Pretty Papers. True Stories. A few days ago she had a post on making banners using photos.

Yeah, totally out of my comfort zone, but I dove in.

Love the outcome!

I have three small photos interspersed with tags. I did use the far right tag for journaling after I took the photo of the page.

I made the middle green tags using green cardstock and a background stamp. I added tiny washi tape banners. The buttons are made from a Japanese newspaper. And the letters are Amy Tangerine's.


Thanks so much for stopping by. I'll have more scrap pages this week and the rest of my Easter cards. You know...if I can stop scrapbooking long enough to get *those* done! ;-)


Craft happy!!

I love the tags and Washi tape! Great layout! I didn't know what Instragram was either. I'm so technology challenged. I don't even have a smart phone cause I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to figure out how to make a call!
