Happy National Scrapbook Day. I am having a marathon scrap today. I started with this scrap of myself. I am not a fan of close ups of myself, but decided that at 52 I deserve to show my face as is. A persons face tells so much about their lives. I see all of my history in mine. But what I am very pleased to see is underlying happiness.
I toyed with Photoshop Elements and a mask I bought at Jessica Sprague.com. I have wanted this $3 gem for months now and decided to take the plunge in honor of today's holiday. I am stretching my capabilities and hybrid scrapping is definitely cost effective and really fun! I used a gift certificate I got for Christmas to buy the Faber Castill gel sticks and am having a ball with those too. I bought the kids version at Amazon after viewing the Frugal Crafters Comparison review of those and Gelato Pens. They looked identical to her and me. I embossed a square of black paper with Tim Holtz Sizzix embossing folder then blended Silver Gel Pen over it. Very cool effect. the rest of the papers were total scraps I had laying in my bin. I thought it would be my contribution to cleaning . Because, I don't see a whole lot of that happening today...lol.
