1984


1984... no, not the book by Orwell! :)
It was the year I graduated from High School, and the year I joined the Air Force.
It's now also the first year which has no photos (that I know of) left in my photo stash to scrapbook!

Before I began working on a layout, I was hunting through my photos looking for something to scrap, and I realized that the tab for "1984" was nearly empty. I'd scrapped almost everything! So I decided to do an "overview" layout and finish that year up! So this layout is the result.

I used stash, Echo Park papers and brads, and some other stuff including a Charlene's Button Box button. The shape on the right was cut with the Cricut cartridge Elegant Edges. This particular shape is very much like the outer edge of the We R Memory Keepers Lucky 8 punch named "Vine Bracket". I like punches but I can't justify the expense these days with our tighter budget. So it was nice to stumble on a cut that can be used instead of the punch.... at any size I like!

Thanks for stopping by!
