Friday was a catch up day at Get It Scrapped. Several articles went up including one using a bracket foundation for page layouts. I contributed a page to this particular piece:
State Fair by Michelle Houghton | Supplies: cardstock; American Crafts and Bazzill Basics, mists; Heidi Swapp
I had a pile of photos from this trip to the state fair. And what I realized as I started to pull them all out is that they are not very good. The only one I really love is the one at the corner of my bracket, or the L shape that runs across the bottom and up the right hand side. John and the girls smooshed together watching the sheep shearing. We are funny that way, I am not sure the attraction but we are huge fans of the sheep shearing competition. We could sit for quite a while and watch.
The other photos on the page I wanted to include but got cropped significantly so you can focus in on the action. Lori “talking” to the pigs makes me laugh. They kept responding to her and had us all laughing as she snorted away and they snorted back.
I had a great time with my newest toy on this layout. All the lettering was cut out using my new Brother Cut and Scan machine. The “State Fair 2012” was a font included in the soft wear, but the other lettering is my own handwriting. The cutter can scan anything and then cut it! It will cut outlines, outer edges only, leave borders or not, it is amazing! And for doodle me so fun! I am ready to try some borders and doodles. It will do direct cuts or cut my design out of a different piece of paper. It is just plain fun 🙂 If you would like to see some other wonderful bracket based layouts check the article HERE
Well I am not sure what my plan is but Calvinball is in full swing and the competition is going to be fierce! I am just playing for fun and knowing that I might get a couple days this month to just scrap for myself. I will post how I am doing once a week (since that get’s me a point and besides it is fun to share).
I hope you are having a warmer than me, happy weekend!
