Chicago

I took a quick break from the wedding scrapbook to do some of my own pictures. (I was getting behind and the picture stack kept growing!)

I decided to work on my pictures from when we took a day trip to Chicago back in December with our besties, Aaron and Megan. I thought it'd be fun to do a silhouette of the city skyline. There probably was an easier way of doing this, but what I did was googled photos of the Chicago skyline, made a rough stencil of how I wanted it to look, cut that out, stenciled it onto black paper, and then cut THAT out. It definitely took some time, but I loved the way it turned out. 

Those are supposed to be glittery stars on the blue background, in case you are wondering. I'm still trying to figure out the best way to photograph my layouts. 

Hello!

Hello! I am finally starting this blog. I've been meaning to for ages, but never got around to pushing the publish button.

I wanted somewhere to document the different scrapbooking/crafty projects I am working on, and of course to share them with all you on the internet. (My family is probably tired of being forced to gush about my crafty projects, so I need a fresh audience.)

I am so, so excited about my latest scrapbooking endeavor. My lovely friend, Allison, got married in January and I am working on her wedding album. Their wedding pictures were gorgeous. Nothing makes scrapbooking fun like beautiful pictures.

I can't wait to hand Allison and Stephen their (very belated) wedding gift. But for now, I am having fun with the process of making it :-)
