Don’t you just hate unfinished projects? I cut the pieces for this layout over a month ago, but since it required I get out the cuttlebug and cut the small papers with the Thin Cuts® I just set it aside for later. Well, later has arrived and I am calling Fridays “UNFINISHED FRIDAYS”. Every Friday I will pull out a project that has gone unfinished and get it done. You will then see the finished project on my facebook page.
Today’s layout was from a kit called “Celebrating You.” I had to search for the pictures which I had already had printed through Persnickety Prints which is the same company that prints your free photos if you subscribe to the Scrap with Heart Program. They do beautiful work. Like I was saying before I got distracted, I had to find the pictures I was going to use. If I had been smart, I would have put them in the drawers with the papers I had previously cut.
This layout took a bit more work on my part. I had to actually mark my papers to know where to put the triangles.
I thought I had found a way to save the wear and tear on the magnetic mat I use with my cuttlebug. The directions said to stack the squares, and when I cut them, it didn’t damage the mat at all, but then I had to manually cut all the cuts apart because it didn’t cut all the way through. I will try this again, with perhaps more thickness in my stack, as not damaging the magnetic mat would be an awesome savings.
I hope you will join me each Friday for “Finish It Up Friday” and work on those unfinished projects. Send me a photo of your finished project and get entered into the monthly drawing for a free stamp set. Send it to Carol@CreativelyCarol.com and I will post it here on the blog.
Now go check out my facebook page and see the finished layout!
