Poppies

Well after 4 months of no scrapping and having no inspiration to do so,I've finally managed to do a layout. I've been playing about with a few for weeks but finished this one yesterday. I'm still not sure how I feel about it,or if I've got my mojo back,but it's done and at least it's a step on the way. I took the poppy photo at Almondvale Heritage Centre back in August 2007 and decided to use it. I had already done a Print&cut decoupage of it for a card (which you can see in a previous post) and also added that to the LO. Not sure if decoupage on a LO is the right thing to do,but I did it anyway. I cut all the swirls on a Cricut at a crop and also cut the Basic Grey paper into Scallops with it.The large P is a Bazzill really big letter and the rest I cut on my Robo. The font is called Coaster. Used my Crop-A-Dile to set the eyelets and threaded some red,black and white ribbon through.

Went to my scrapbook crop tonight and finally managed to get the beginnings of a page started.Hopefully this will be me getting my inspiration back.It was actually due to a card I made the other day that I kind of decided on what photo to scrap.It was a lovely poppy photograph I took last year at Almondvale Heritage Centre in Livingston.I had been playing about with the image on my Craft Robo and turned it into a Poppy print & cut decoupage.I matted it onto a lovely layer template from UKS that jsillyscraps had posted.I thought it looked quite striking and could be used for different occasions.What do you think?

So watch this space in the next few days.......ummmmm make that weeks....lol, just in case.
