Keeping Promises

Christy Ink & Paper 9 Comments

I told you today I’d have scrapbook pages to show off! Here are two pages from our morning at Blarney Castle. There will be at least two more. We had so much fun there and took a ton of pictures!

The foam shamrocks will have to be used on some future page…

It’s not my best work, but after this amount of time, something is certainly better than nothing.

The background paper is plain white cardstock colored with Distress Ink (Peeled Paint) and stamped with some old, poor quality stamps from my stash. I should have left well enough alone and skipped the stamping, but oh well.

The large picture of the castle was cut out from a poster. All the other pictures were originally 4×6 prints. I find it easier to cut standard prints than to specially print each picture in the size needed (but I’ve been known to do both).

Between the wet Irish weather and fact that my flat iron was fried on the first day of the trip, the whole album is going to be a study in bad hair days. But hey, that’s what memories are, right?

And now, I have to go. The other promise I made today was to go to the grocery store. Not sure if that one’s going to be kept.
