Wrap It Up #2

Continuing the challenge I set for myself on Monday, I updated this page.  I forgot to take a before photo but literally all the page had were the ribbons and the silver circles.  There was no bling, no flowers, and definitely know lettering.  The large white block at the top is just me censoring my friend's name to protect the innocent.



That being said, the ribbons did add a pretty cool base for this revamp, and I really like how it turned out.  I had the orange flowers and was super excited to use them.  They fit the crazy ribbon theme perfectly which also kept with the eclectic looks we were wearing for mismatch day in the photos.

Identifiable Elements:

Wrap It Up #1

This month I decided to do something a little different.  As the year is coming to an end I decided to do my best to go through old albums I have that are full of half finished scrapbook pages.  I used to leaved space so I could type up titles and little blurbs about the photos but lately I haven't wanted much to do with that style.  So instead of letting myself go into the New Year with all these old incomplete pages, I'm  going to do my best to fix them up.  

Since it is December I decided to start with this page that featured a nice Christmas theme.  I'd made a dress out of wrapping paper but the sad face was because I couldn't really sit in it so I knew it'd get trashed at school that day.



Before I revamped this page it was pretty bland and left a lot of negative space that I didn't really care for.




I've realized that one of the biggest challenges for these pages is going to be finding the years that the photos were taken.  I had to do a lot of scrolling on Facebook to figure out if it was my junior or senior year of high school, but eventually I found it and was super grateful for social media.



Obviously, because these were made so long ago, I don't really know what bits and pieces I used to put them together.  All I can list below is what I added that I can identify in the revamp stage.
