Happy Un-national Scrapbooking Day!

Procrastinated Belated scrappy wishes to you!

I did get some scrapping in yesterday, and it was a good thing, because I had to complete my DT work that was, uhh, due yesterday. Just under the wire. Mad skillz, yo.

And then I didn't photograph it before I dropped it off. Camera was dead because I, uhh, chose to put off the recharging process.

So, I'll have to show you something else I made recently, instead.
I made this layout with my April Paper Poppy kit. I spent ages trying to come up with a title, and then wanted to move on to my next layout decided to spend an extended period of time carefully considering my journaling to explain the title I chose. These are photos from my solo whale-watching trip last summer in Newfoundland. It was such an incredible - even spiritual - experience that I didn't want to think that hard just didn't have the words when I was just trying to make all of those freakin' photos fit on the page. I plan to add an envelope to the back and type out the whole story.

I'm also hoping to include the brochure from O'Brien's Whale and Bird Tours (highly recommended, by the way!) a la Ali Edwards' custom-size page protectors.

You know. Sometime.I have wanted to try making a flower from a Starbucks sleeve ever since I saw what Jennifer from Scrapping Daze does with those little throw-away gems. I'd say it turned out alright, yes? Simple but effective.

Hmmm. Starbucks. Now there's something that I can do today.
