How utterly frustrating…
I would have told you that plenty of times before, I just can not take a decent photo of a scrapbook page. If it wasn’t enough that as a learner (and a very self-critical one too!) I virtually never end up with something I consider good in my books. Sheesh.
I don’t claim to be a good photographer, in fact I’m acutely aware of the fact that there’s lots to learn, but in the years of photographing cards and stuff, on the almost daily basis, I was able to develop the techniques that work well on my photos. Except when it comes to scrapbooks, when to my amazement, all my skills seem to miraculously vanish.

I committed the one below two days ago, and let me tell you, it was for the first time that I was actually pretty cool with the result. Not as in “holy cow, will you look at THIS!!”, but I decided that my perseverance is indeed leading me somewhere. Yet, all of that magic disappeared the moment I took the damned photos. LOL

I’ll let you judge for yourselves

I’m thinking about the day I’ll look at the scrapbook page I made and be content with it, and if it will ever happen
For now I’m a learner, and as one I decided to tackle My Mind’s Eye January sketch. It’s super lovely, it gives a great opportunity for some misting, and it means I get to play with my favourite paper company’s products. Hence this:

For the base I used the paper from Miss Caroline, and there’s lots of stuff from the Kraft Funday collection. Misting was done with the aid of Leapfrog Glimmer Mist and The Crafter’s Workshop honeycomb template. Additional misting done with October Afternoon Sprinkler.
Added stamping with Glitz Design stamps, plus the sentiment from Technique Tuesday. Some more Glitz Design stuff here and there, mainly transparencies. Some doodling.
I ordered some lovely prints the other day, so in the meantime I’ll keep trying
