The first of the month means a new garden of inspiration—there are some amazing scrapbook pages in there this month so be sure to check it out. I am hoping I can actually buy the butterfly punch I used on this page—I had only borrowed it from Leanne and it was pretty painful to give it back! So definitely need one to take up permanent residence in my punch drawer.
Supplies: Dotted Swiss cardstock by Bazzill Basics, patterned papers by Cosmo Cricket, 7gypsies border stickers, Doodlebug letter stickers, Punches by Woodware, EK Success and Martha Stewart, Narratives brads by Creative Imaginations, Chipboard buttons and epoxy circles by Love, Elsie, Nailheads by Canvas Corp, and brown precision pen by American Crafts. And a bunch of pop dots!
Today has been of a wind down from the month of colour. Watching Harry Potter, listening to Harry Potter, reading Harry Potter and scrapbooking about Hawaii, which has nothing to do with Harry Potter.
Am I the only person who is excited about Harry Potter? Okay, so we know what happens at this point but that is completely irrelevant to the films. I am more excited for Half-Blood Prince than I have been for any of the others…which is saying something. But the last film was by far my favourite of the five and book six is by far my favourite of all seven books…AND film six has the same director as film five, so in my head that equation all comes out to equal this film will be amazing. I really hope so, anyway. We have opening night tickets at a cinema with old-fashioned, super comfy red velvet chairs. And I’m taking great pride in the chairs because someone else I know has press screening tickets for this Friday which is just not to be thought about at all!
Okay, I shall try to end my Harry Potter ramblings here until after I have seen the film. Try being the operative word. No promises.
Supplies: Bazzill cardstock, Cosmo Cricket patterned paper, Making Memories straight pins, American Crafts Thickers, Prima tape, Punches by Martha Stewart, EK Success and Fiskars and precision pen by American Crafts.
In other non-Potter news, I uploaded nearly seven hundred pictures from our two weeks away to Photobox and am pretty close to clicking the ‘order me one of everything’ button. Not sure. I am excited to scrap them (printed a few at home because I am impatient!) but I want to print way more than will fit in my ‘photos to be scrapped’ binder.
The good thing is I can tell this week is nice and calm because a) I can scrapbook for fun and b) I have time to think about how many photos I should order. I am learning to notice and embrace these weeks when they happen! {Now if someone can teach me how to channel them during the weeks where everything is so crazy that I realise far too late that I really need a shower, that would be brilliant useful.}
Supplies: Bazzill Basics cardstock, Cosmo Cricket patterned papers, Making Memories journaling paper, Die cut file by Kristina Werner (cut on the Silhouette), American Crafts Thickers, Fiskars border punches, Creative Cafe sticker strip, Prima bling and a brown precision pen by American Crafts.
And my last thought for the day? Clearly the crazy heatwave we can’t stop talking about has made it impossible for me to string together logical thoughts. Hopefully you can forgive me and just be distracted by scrapbook pages? Perhaps my rational mind will return tomorrow.
ALSO: The prize list for Month of Colour is pretty long and I still visiting all the links! I will post the complete list of prize winners tomorrow! Thanks for your patience and participation!
