you can't keep a good girl down

Here's another page I did just this past friday - oh so tiring! This one was a study in patience. And perseverance. And, like what xb says, fine motor skills. Each of the red flowers on the right took 10 minutes minimum to cut out. There are 9 of these flowers. Go figure. I'm still trying to recover from the sleep deprivation of that friday night...

And here's the page which I started on during my mini scrap session with xb and Miss Ho - I finally managed to finish it after heading back to the store to get more materials. Guess what I was short of? Letter "Z"s.



Lots of people helped me with this layout. Xb and Miss Ho gave me lots of advice - even Ad chipped in. This little photo here was his idea..



And credit for this beautiful cut out must go to Miss Ho:



I originally wanted to post this as a comment, but since I had so much to say, I thought I'd put it here instead..

I don't think scrapping is a gift! It's something that can be learnt.. At first I was quite 'boring' too - afraid to try a lot of things, and I made a lot of mistakes.. but imitating other people has taught me a lot, and given me the confidence to try lots of other stuff (not all good).. I think being artistic and innovative is a gift.. a lot of what I do is trial and error - no art there! and copying too, of course!

As long as you have the interest, I bet you can do it! Let's organise another scrapmeet! or better still - I'll organise a private class - Made With Love does private classes for a group of 4 and above, I think (must pay, of course, but I don't know how much per person). We'll pick a project that we all like - maybe an album or lunchbox - and we'll have an instructor to facilitate the workshop! Funz!

Let's see - list of participants could be.. all you who read my blog? Grand total 5! Haha!
