Welcome, artists and crafters! I've been absent from the weekly festivities for the past month or so -- short-staffed at work + company at my house = no time for WOYWW.
Here are pictures of my desk this morning. I pulled out memorabilia and pictures from our trip to the National Gallery of Art during our DC trip last year. Trying to decide which things to use, and how, on a layout. Will probably put some things in an additional page protector or two, such as the brochure for the specific exhibit and the map.
Next is a layout I made last week, highlighting pictures from the week of July 4th.
I think I needed a longer title or larger letters . . . I extended it with the arrows to help it take up more room.
I don't think I've posted this tag yet. I was experimenting with water stamping, but it didn't show up, so I went a different direction and stamped some flowers in archival ink, some in a matching ink to the background, and added some die cut flowers.
Thanks for visiting! I anticipate being in the hinterlands of Julia's list of wonderment (check out the link if you have no idea what I'm on about), so don't expect to be swamped. :)

I need to be catching up on some lay outs myself! I am way behind for the year :( Not sure where the time has gone!waving hi from the hills of North Carolina :)

Love the scrapping (really ought to do some more of my own!!) Great to see someone else using lots of photos per page. I tend to pop bits and bobs not on the page inbetween the pages, sometimes on a piece of card with ribbon on the top so you can pull it out of the page protector. BJ#19

Great pictures and layouts. I LO is ok as is but is summer a little taller font? How about HOT-->summer---> fun---> with hot being fractionally taller to fill in that left side? Just an idea like I said it is ok as is. Thanks for stopping by and commenting on my post. I like visitors! Vickie #130

Commenting to say that I took Vickie's suggestion and ran with it -- I added "Hot" and another ---> before the word summer and it looks much better. Larger letters still would have been a good idea, but at least this way it fills the space more logically.
