Now these photos really are bad (forgive me). Here is the layout:
I like to try something new every time I complete a layout (which isn't hard because there is a very long list of things I want to try and I'm a relative amateur). This time, I tried incorporating hidden journaling with the use of a file folder. See below:
As you can see, I had a few extra photos I wanted to add but didn't want to overclutter the layout any more than I already have. I thought this was the perfect solution.
Claudia and I had a ball. She actually taught me how to use my paper trimmer properly (don't ask) and I showed her how to distress edges.
If I learned anything from taking the class, it's that I'm very slow, and I'm not good at replicating the sample. I found myself making lots of variations, and scrapping (excuse the pun) certain elements all together in favor of my own crazy ideas. I also learned that I need to practice the art of "pen" stitching (though something tells me Hanna really isn't going to care).
Wait, a scrapbooker who isn't a perfectionist?
Hear me roar.
