happy national scrapbooking day!

In honor of this fun fun day, I thought I'd post the scrapbooking paper I made for the last LO I'm working on in the circle journal that the lovely and talented Andrea is hosting.

I started with some basic, plain, boring scrapbook paper that I've had forever. I'm thinkin' at one time I must have liked it but at this point in time, it just ain't my style anymore.

Pardon the blurry picture, but I hope you get the idea of what the paper looked like before...

I painted the paper all up using Making Memories Acrylic Paints and Ranger Adirondack Re-inkers (I am in LOVE with this product!) The "stamp" was made from a piece of textured wallpaper.

Here is what the pages looked like after...

I'm still workin' on the LO so when I get that done, I'll come back and show you! I just wanted to get something up so I could say Happy Scrapbooking Day to you! :-)

That's so cool :) Way to use a piece of paper you weren't going to otherwise use

Hope you're having a good weekend, Bella

Very nice transformation! You turned your boring sb paper into ART! Can't wait to see the finished layout next :).
