So its early in the morning on Saturday, well not actually that early its 10am, but something about it being dark, rainy, and quiet outside makes me feel like its super early. Something amazing has happened to me!! I have figured out how to use my own 8x11 scanner and I can now scan my 12x12 scrapbook pages at home :) I use to have to schlep them into my office and wait until everyone had left for the day before I could go and use the scanner there, very annoying and inconvenient. So now all I have to do is scan both sides of the layout and hit this button STITCH and it basically overlaps the to sides and sews them together, its soooooo cool!!!
I have finally continued doing the scrapbook challenges, this one I really enjoyed. The challenge was to let a song lyric inspire a layout. I used a photo of Jared and I standing in the middle of 42nd st before the wedding. I love this picture!! so NYC and so authentic looking. My amazing photographer Danny Weiss took snapped it. If you are getting married or have children and need a photographer I highly recommend Danny.
In this LO I used this awesome "I do" paper collection, I forget who its by ofcourse. I used my circle cutter machine to make the circles. I distressed all the edges of the circles, the frame of my picture, and the actually 12x12 paper and then used Tim Holtz ink pad to make the LO look vintage. I love love love doing that, its a serious addiction that I have. I added some chip board pieces that match the paper. The song I choose was as you see Billy Joel's NY state of mind. I thought how perfect for this picture. You can't get more NY that then.
Here are some more LO's that I wanted that I have done in the past month.
Thanks for looking!!
