Scrap-it-Lah October Challenge

Hello! Everyone, I have been busy scrapbooking and book binding for the past few days.  This time around no paint used may be on my 3rd layout...a bit of Jenni Bowlin paint dabber.  I managed to do this page with a lots of disturbance in between.  I have been feeling under the moon or should I say dark cloud lately but now I am getting much much better.  Comfort, hugs and kisses from the people around me makes me feeling good again.  However, sadness helps me a lot as I scrapped non stop for the past 3 days?? which is absolutely weird and it is a rare situation for me to produce 3 layouts in 3 days. Whatever!

This post is for the layout I did for Scrap-it-Lah October Challenge.  In this layout, the initial photo used was ruined by the Tombo glue and I ripped it off and finally got this photo of us (I know I have been using that photo often) but can't help it that is the only photo that is suitable for this page at that time.

The October challenge is to include:-
1.  Old book paper, music sheet or something similar
2.  Fussy cutting
3.  Hand-stitching using embroidery floss

Here is my take...


this time the title was used by doodling it on some pieces of papers and over lap it with my journal...no alphabets thickers this time around.




As mentioned earlier, the truth is this layout was pasted with my DD's photo at first and at the end of my process completing this page, I dropped some tombo glue right on the photo and on her hair and there you go...I ripped off the photo and got this photo of us as a replacement. 

I used the music sheet, fussy cutting done and as well as stitching by hand using embroidery floss.
That is all for now and come and join this month challenge over at Scrap-it-Lah and see for yourself all the lovely pages created by their DTs.  I have more layouts to share, have a blast weekend, because I know I will and see you in my next post.

  11. Yay Yuzz I am so happy that you played along! Thanks so much!! I love your layout - oooh I've had that happen to me with photos too - it is so frustrating but you did a perfect job of covering it up & if you just add a "You & Me" with some alphas above the photo you could enter it at Bird is the Word too heehee...so it could be serendipity that you ended up with a photo of the 2 of you instead! Oh so sorry to hear you have been feeling down!! And around your birthday too...that's too bad...I do hope that all your birthday gifts & celebrations cheered you up!!
