Scraps

Oh the Possibilities!

My favourite stage of the scrapbooking process is when you've moved a few things around, tried different papers, gotten rid of that embellishment that just didn't work, added in a different one, moved things areound again, maybe decided the photo would work better in black and white, figured out how you're going to dress your chipboard and it's all sitting there ready to go.

I love the possibilities!
This is what I have sitting half finished on my table at the moment.
 
It's a farewell gift for one of my favourite work colleagues.
We're both leaving the company around the same time, and she is one of the sweetest people I know so I wanted to make her something special!
It may just be at Paperific next week, but I should be able to show you the whole thing by tomorrow!

It isn't painted where it needs to be painted yet and it isn't dressed where it needs to be dressed, nothing much is even stuck down, but I LOVE how it's coming together!
It's the stage I love - when you have finally sifted through the dud ideas to get something that is resembling what you thought you were after!

Which part of the scrapbooking process is your favourite?
Do you get that lightbulb moment idea that excites you or do you love when you've given a pageyour all and finally got the result you wanted?
Are you like me and excited by the possibilities of having 1001 ideas to sift through to find one that actually works?

Going to Paperific?

I had so much fun at SENZ that I made sure Ange rostered me on to be manning the stands at Paperific all three days for Scrapware!
I'm hoping some of you Melbourne and Victoria scrappers will drop by and say hi!

Three are some AH-MAY-ZING new products that will be available from the Scrapware stand, and you'll get to see some of my projects up close, like this one...
 

and this one...
 
As well as some stunning projects from some of the other DT girls (and they are an UBER talented bunch!)

ALSO
There is a big competition running for Paperific this year - the Paperific Paper Art Competition.
Details can be found here.
It's being sponsored by Scrapware, as well as a whole array of other awesome product companies!
If I could enter it, I would, but apparently being in cahoots with an exhibitor excludes me - how disappointing!
I'd suggest you get onto it if you can, there's nothing better than free scrap goodies!
