Magical

I started an album some time ago with pictures which I chose of myself with some sort of special meaning. I put them into this fun album which I made especially to fit the unusually shaped pages.  Most of the embelishments are from Love Elsie.  I love color and I love the effects that all the little buttons produce, it's magical.  Lets face it I am hooked on all these gorgeous bits and pieces.  Recently I bought the recipie box and it really filled me with inspiration to scrapbook late into the night and use up all the bits and pieces i had left over.

I also used some of the techniques described by Tim Holtz to make it all a little more fruity and the textures different.  I love piling things onto a page.  For me the looker has to see something different every time they look at my pages.  I cant seem to leave an empty space alone.  The more I try to create open and uncluttered layouts, the more I feel the frustrated need to fill in the blanks.  I am now making a second scrapbook.  Much the same, but smaller than this one.  I will try to cramb less onto the pages.  Dont think I will succeed though........life is full of so many fantastic things, and so, how can I not reflect that in my pages...... : )
