Alright, it’s been a L O N G time since I blogged. Been busy. Andrew has been rockin’ the mat — took 4th place in the 119lb weight class Division I finals last week — tomorrow is the Meet of Champions, so send some good wrestling-skill-vibes his way, eh? I am not a flash photographer, nor are gym conditions ideal for someone taking photos in the stands….that said, here are a couple nice wrestling moves if not nice photos:
Above was a home meet — Central I think?
Below was at the Div I finals — of course Andy always wrestled on the mat furthest from us under NO lighting. Phooey. They really should be more considerate of the snap happy family members! And the boys should be more considerate too — if you’re going to pin someone, at least do it facing the camera and smiling! And kick the ref out of the way! Well, I guess, while we’re at it, if the world could just spin around me and my camera, that would be fabulous.
Alright, I’m really posting because a couple people emailed and wanted to see what the project REALLY looked like for Tuesday at thepapertree. The thing is….everyone’s will look different. I have a bunch of different envelopes for people to chose from and a TON of ideas for things to put on your pages. Mine was so full I had to make it a belt to stay shut (I will have belt material for those of you who take a million pictures a day, like I do.) Here are some pictures of my book, not totally finished — head down to the shop if you’d like to see it in person, and mostly finished. I have a hard time taking pictures of my stuff because I’m totally into the interactive stuff. and textures. how do you take pictures of textures?
I love using junk in my projects. Recycling is always good. Above are pieces of plastic from some action figure or something. Plastic is fun to sew….I might have a new favorite thing to add to scrapbooks! AND! i just got some fantastic new pens yesterday that draw on anything. The white one above only did so well….now, with the new pens, life is good.
My 7 Gypsies tab has a 7 gypsies typewriter word on it now. Had to pick it up at the store last night.
This page is missing a couple labels I added to the tabs. Use your imagination — it has two folders, one left that opens down and one right that opens to the left. Pictures shown open below.
I just love envelopes — this is a library pocket, which is fabulous, except that my stuff kept falling out, so I added a belt buckle on a hinge for easy access and a ribbon with a phototurn to go through the belt buckle more easily. Buckle hinged up below.
Alright, Oliver and I have a date, so I’m off and running!
