Scrap-booked May 2009

Married to My Ouma of Grandmother's card

Detail of page one There is more Journaling inside the File Clip-art: Watch Open Clipart.org Photo corners stickers from "Kingstickers"
Detail of page two with Collage tag Emphera label from Sassyarts Clip-art: Watch Open Clipart.org Matt Plaid Modge Podge and brown shoe polish.
Computer Font: Courier New
Templates from: Mel's Stampz
Mini Manila File Folder Template Mirkwood Designs Mini File Folders Tutorial from Scrapfriends.us Notes: Collage tag
The shoe polish darkened the clip-art and brought out the edges. I don't know if I like the brush marks, which I didn't see before. What do you think? In future I will use a fake credit card or better strokes.
I used Lab Hydrion pH Test paper to test the Kiwi Shoe- polish and Modge Podge and they weren't Acidic

Planning on my magnetic board

Here is some of my Inspiration

"Time" from "Legacy" Magazine Vol. 5. issue # 6 “One day at a time.”

Here is a wonderful tutorial at Mel's Stampz of a pocket watch.

I tie ribbons to the ring binder in the same color as the layout, to mark the pages so that I can find them easier.

I got a this idea from the book, "Making Family Journals" by Linda Blinn
