Playing with Webster's pages again......

Somehow I feel like I have written this title before....

anyhooooooo

In the spirit of using up my stash...

(my goal this year)

here is another layout using up my Webster's pages...

I think I am in a rut with these papers

all I seem to do is distress them then slap some corrugated cardboard and acrylic paint

for added grunginess

am I subconsciously trying to destroy these beautiful papers???

I wonder...

I admit I dont have a clue how to use them

I am creatively clueless

I am up for suggestions

dear scrappers!!!!

Webster's pages Your Life, Beautiful

Bazzill cardstock teal?

Corrugated card board

Chandelier chipboard (given to me by Zeffy...thank you)

Tim Holtz distress crackle paint tattered rose

flowers Prima and I am Roses
