Scrappy...in a groovy kinda way

Hey guys I just finished a page which turned out rather scrappy I think ~ I definitely hit the gesso bottle too, probably a little harder than usual but hey it's Christmas, time for indulgence an' all that lol
The colours are nothing like those I may usually go for, but that's because of how the page started - with this scrap piece vintage text paper, which I remember painting green about 3 years ago, punching pieces out of it about one year ago and finally using it completely up, as is, today. 
So strange how something so insignificant as a random piece of scrap paper can produce a snowball effect of creativity. The embellishments on the page are all scrap too ~ silver diamond shape leftovers from punching mirror card for wedding invitations (only another 3.4 million of those still to use up...), left over wooden hearts from Christmas ornaments I was using to make a garland with:
And the butterflies that I used as stencils are from this cheapo garland I brought, which if you follow me on facebook you'll know I ended up loving so much it's now hanging in the studio ~ but hey as I say we're allowed to indulgence ourselves & stuffing the place with tacky decorations is all part of it :)
So that's it, just a quick share of my scrappy page & if I don't 'see' you beforehand...
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
Have a good one =)
Much love Jennibellie xx

  8. Isn't it funny how you can remember details from certain...well, ok...ALL of your scraps and bits and pieces. I love when I handle something because I think of where I got it, who I was with, circumstances surrounding it and then go through the same history when I use each little bit. Beautiful page. Have yourself a Merry little Christmas!
