Scrap Your Crap Challenge #56

I hardly ever scrapbook nowadays. To get into the flow of it, I decided to enter challenges over the next few weeks. This does two things - firstly it gives me a deadline to work towards and secondly it provides me a guide to start the page. 

Here is a link to this challenge: http://scrapyourcrap.blogspot.com/2010/08/challenge-56-measure-me-up.html

This challenge is about using tape. However, I did not have tape, but I improvised. I stamped part of the title onto card stock and put cellophane tape over it.

The chipboard alphabets had holes in them which I plugged with large snaps which are a cross between eyelets and brads. A special thank you to my sister-in-law, Fiona who gave me those snaps. The chipboard had a shiny surface which I sanded to remove the smoothness so that it would hold the ink.

Here is a close up of the stitching on the page -straight stitches and ziz zag stitches.

Here is a close up of the photo corner which is a quickutz die cut.
