Part 2 of today's lesson was to make a mini album... but I decided that I wanted to do little G instead. Cousin J was so accomodating.. trying to help both Jo and myself with our different LOs. It's amazing how fast Couin J comes up with the sketch of the LO in her HEAD! I completed half of the LO at her place and brought the rest home to do! It took me such a long time just to add in the embellishments! Trying to decide does this go with that, is this appropriate? Does this match? should I put this here? Is it balance? I've heard of the "triangle"-rule and I try to adhere to Cousin J's tip - try to create only 1 focal point! Hope I did a good job of her lovely DD.. well, how bad can I go when half of it was with her help? But then again, I could have made a mess of the embellishments!

But I really LOVE this LO of G! Trick was to use the word "LOVE" throughout the LO: so i thought of Love forever, Sweet Love, Love grows, and Love is pure. Cousin J with her fantastic range of stamps and stash had a stamp with the definition of Love which I used on top!

I thought - okie, so I've attended my very 1st formal lesson. Maybe I should be getting better at creating a LO. With the lesson in mind, I started off with things that match - same range of BG papers - that's always easy! Next comes the difficult part! Arghh... where to put what! or what to put where??

Okie okie.. FOCUS point focus point. So i thought the empty space next to the pict - one way only is my focal point? or I guess looking at it is the bottom half of the LO? Well... -cher;-cher J, how? did I follow the tips given? Am I on the right track? Did I create a balanced LO?

wahaha.. maybe I should have paid more attention at the other half of the lesson instead of playing with the irresistably adorable G! who kept calling me in her cute little voice >_<

Off to create some V day cards? Erm.. who to give to? wahaha.. can't wait for next sat for TVC OH! oh-la-la.. new stuff from CHA! I think I just enjoy buying and collecting stash because I think I'm quite bad at creating LO.
