Hi everyone and happy Tuesday :-)
A little 'warning' upfront: I am currently trying to get into scrapbooking... but... mmm... well.... it's a long, hard way *lol* I am trying, experimenting and learning... and here's what I came up with using the current sketch #59 from Sketchabilities provided by Karan Gerber!
(I hope Karan doesn't mind me bungle her wonderful sketch with my amateurish LO ;-))) )
To be honest, I'm kind of happy with the result (for me as an absolute beginner *lol*)!
Ok ok ok .... I admit I have to practice getting good pictures of this large 12x12 size (that has been the most difficult part on this LO for me *lol*)
I think the page looks nicer IRL than here on the pictures... also the white strokes are NOT that 'bold' and contrasting!!! They are much more subtle IRL .. just adding a little bit of texture to the page.
As I said before.. I have to practice getting good pictures *sigh*
Anyway... it's a beginner's LO (it's my second traditional LO I ever made)... so please bear with me!
Any constructive criticism is more than welcome!
