I made it for a challenge on the site. We were to use stamps in the title and that is what I did. I used Stampin' Up headline alphas. The greenish circle was cut from a sheet I made using alcohol inks, another technique featured at ScrapAttack that was so fun and addicting to try. The addition of the cardboard turned out to be a fun addition for added texture. I was sitting at the dining room table pealing and my DS walked by wondering if I had completely lost my senses I suppose until I explained I wanted it for my scrapbooking. Then he understood - anything goes, weird or not - so he went on.
The stamped "real life" fit, seeing a alligator close in the wild is pretty real. And yes, I used a tripod and a telephoto for the shot. I wanted the page to represent the whole scene from the distant view of the canal to a mid-distance view, right up to the close shot of that huge head.
I really am trying to expand my scrapbooking style, stretching out for a new (to me) design. Looking back at my style back 10-12 years ago I have improved but can't say I've kept up with the newest trends. But hey, it's my hobby and I have tons of fun. I love looking at what the folks are doing today but it's kind of hard to break the old style habits. You that scrap, do you find it a challenge or are you content with whatever your style has become?
