Since the theme for this weeks Wednesday Stamper was announced this morning I can't stop singing this old song from the 60's that used to play on the radio when I was small. I used to play the record on my little record player and sing along lol...
"LITTLE ARROWS
Leapy Lee
There's a boy a little boy
Shooting arrows in the blue
And has aimed them at someone
And the question is at who
Little arrows in your clothing
Little arrows in your hair
When you're in love you'll find
Those little arrows everywhere
Little arrows that will hit you once
And hit you once again
Little arrows will hit everyone
Every now and then "
Which brings me to the first ever finished scrap page I've made lol. This is my practice piece for a forum challenge. I own about 4 scrap books with every intention of filling the sleeves with pages of wonderful photos..... the thing is, I bought those scrap books about 5 years ago when I started crafting lol and did two half hearted attempts and ran :0), so now I need to dust them down.
I wish I'd glued the whole photo section an inch or so lower on this piece (need semi sticky stuff I guess now I'm getting into scrapping lol)
I bow down to all scrappers.... its not as easy as it appears lol I didnt use a 'scrap lift' or a page template as it goes against my nature, but just played around with shapes.
