waimea bay layout.

here it is...
like is said, this one is pretty simple. i attribute that to the making memories paper being so covered with print... half the work of embellishing was done for me. i like how the paper is embossed too. it just gives the pattern a bit more depth. the funny thing is that i generally look at papers like that and dismiss them, thinking that i won't actually use them. i guess that's another good thing about kits, sometimes you get to try new things that you might not have considered previously.
this was also the first time i've used the fabrips that show up in the kits occasionally. i've actually been meaning to use the ones from the garment district kit because i like some of the patterns a lot, but it hasn't happened yet. the bigger middle flower was made with a strip of the fabrip. i was also surprised to use the making memories tape... another item that i had sort of dismissed. i used it for the other two smaller flowers.

i also have to add here how nice it is to scrap with a friend... it tends to help speed up my process because instead of debating things forever, i was able to ask mandee and end the debate. :] and she always gives me the extra push i sometimes need to start cutting into papers. ha.

i hope everyone is enjoying the weekend. i have to write a speech critique [of one of my own speeches that was recorded] and otherwise, i have a few more loads of laundry to catch up on today. i'm hoping to pick up some more of those hanging folders and make some progress on my paper organization. i think james and i are having dinner with deepa and howie tonight too, so that should be nice. ok. well i better go get busy. :]
