Well that’s my excuse anyway!  This scrapbook page is basically finished apart from a possible title and possibly some journaling.  But I’ve posted it already because actually, it could be finished now.

I’ve used a Vertical Border Page Accent (Tutorial Video Here) and a simple patterned paper extended mat for the photograph and a few items in the bottom right hand corner just to balance it out and ‘Bob’s your Uncle’ as they say!  The space under the photograph/mat is where I will put a title and journaling, if I ever decide to add it.

But I have to say, for whom are we making titles anyway?  Journaling, of course, that’s helpful for onlookers to discover what the pictures are about, but titles?  Maybe an addition more for inclusion as the norm for a magazine or online gallery, but not essential by any means, it doesn’t always ‘add’ to the overall Layout.

I have to admit to silicone being my main best scrapbooking friend!  I don’t think it’s particularly environmentally friendly, but basically anything you want to keep forever, such as Archival Scrapbooking (ie, don’t want it to decompose) is not going to be that enviro friendly is it?!  lol
