I find that I no longer participate in this ritual in terms of the dating scene (since I am happily married). However, this describes my current relationship with a scrapbooking layout. It is in between. It could take me days to decide what to do next.
I know it needs something. So I experiment. I set it up one way and leave it in a visible place. I look away, acting shy and then look back. I will even leave the room and then come in as if I don't know its there. I am waiting for the "just rightness" to jump out at me. I will rearrange and then start the whole flirtation over again.
I need a life huh?
No really, do you do this too??? Be honest!
Here is a layout that I did the same thing with. I added and subtracted and finally arrived at this!
Supplies: All from My Scrapbook Nook Fall Mini-kit featuring Little Yellow Bicycle
LYB has these cool transparencies. I cut this one up to fit the layout of my page. I also hand-cut those leaves from a piece of paper! In the end, I am satisfied.
Here's to hoping that happens with the one waiting for me to come back into the room. Wish me luck!
I do that too! and what a neat way to describe the process! When I'm especially stumped, I use magnets to post it on the fridge and go to bed. When I see it first thing the next morning, I "see" it again for the first time and see what it's missing. HTH! Great LO btw! love those leaves, they're awesome!
ReplyDeleteSounds a bit like my current process. Glad to hear that I am not the only one who sneeks a peek at there work to see if need some more love.! This one turned out beautiful Stacey!
ReplyDeleteI never did that - but honestly - if those are the results you get for flirting with an LO to be - I NEED TO START doing it! That's one AMAZING layout, my dear!
ReplyDeleteYes, Yes, Yes! I am so glad I´m not alone :-)
ReplyDeleteLots of love /Veronica
OK...I so need to start this relationship with my scrapbooking....I love how this LO turned out...it is just perfect!! I am in a major slump....so maybe a bit of flirty and paying extra attention will help me out!!! Have a great week!!! :-)
ReplyDeleteYes, I do that, too! Well, excpet for leaving the room and coming in surprised....THAT is too funny. I take a picture of my different ideas so that I can look back and see which one I like best. For some reason, seeing a picture makes me really see the layout. Anyhoo, LOVE this one! The leaves are amazing.
ReplyDeleteI also do that! Used to take me an hour to do a layout, now it might take a week! But Stac, Dear, I think you couldn't go wrong no matter what stage you put up! <3
ReplyDeleteWhatever your process is... keep doing it. That LO is stunning!
ReplyDeleteI work in a similar fashion though. I'll never be labeled a "fast" scrapper, that's for sure! :-)
Good grief ! I do this all the time too !!! Your layout turned out amazing !!
ReplyDeleteThat is so so so funny, your relationship with this layout, so so so hilariously described! LOL. I'd say marry it!!! lol
ReplyDeleteit can take me up to 2 weeks before I call it done :D
ReplyDeletelove how your page turned out!!!
I do that too! I've never thought of it as flirting, but that's it. I'm ashamed to say, I have pages I've never finished because I just couldn't commit. I guess it just wasn't meant to be :)
ReplyDeleteYou are adorable!!! And yes, I do the EXACT same thing...just never considered it to be a "dating" process. But you are oh so right!
ReplyDeleteFantastic job with the one you courted to completion! Can't wait to see the next!
I definitely do that too!!! I love this layout though! Definitely the going back to effort. The leaves on the flourish are perfect!
ReplyDeletelove the leaves, i don't usually create that way, if it doesn't work i take it apart and come back to it MUCH later :D
