Titles and Clustering

While working on this major project I have going on, I decided to use this as an opportunity to experiment and work on a few technique's that I just haven't mastered yet. Now being relatively new to scrapbooking, I haven't mastered ANYTHING, but darned if I will try!

My latest focus has been on my title work and clustering. I've been stalking reading blogs for the last few months looking for techniques and looking at examples to figure out exactly just what style I am...but is there really a "style"? That is the purpose of this craft, is it not? To NOT have a style? Just be free to do what ever you want? Well, that's so they say...I seem to have backed myself in to a perverbial style corner. It's not too bad, it's been nice to "practice" and try to get things just right...*still trying*. Anyway, here's a few examples of my latest and greatest:

I attempted to make my own flowers for this layout.  It's quite easy, just a circle punch (or hand drawn circles for a more distressed look), a little water, a little crinkle of the paper and a hair dryer to dry.  Add a button to the center and whoala! I inked the edges for added affect.


This one was a F.U.N. layout to make...of course, it's from the super secret project but don't worry, full pics will be posted in a few weeks!  I am LOVING the Prima tea rose collection.


This one was a true test for me...this was in the planning stages for months and had to be just right!  The full page coming soon....(notice more Prima)




Now that the house is quiet, I'm off to get to work (some of my best work is done at night). Overall this project has been a bit of everything for me...a bit work, a bit fun, a bit creativity, a bit therapy. I love every minute I spend on this and hope the recipient loves every minute looking at it!

Goodnight all...xoxoxo
