Another day and another page

After months of not doing much I seem to be on some sort of scrapathon.  This was another page that was completed over the weekend,  fairly simple to put together, used one piece of paper, two photos and some white card,  lettering and flowers (which are temporary till I locate the ones I want to use)

Backing is from WeRMemory keepers vintage collection, just a single sheet.  I cut into it so that the photos could 'lie' behind.  Used the X cutting system to shape the photos,  then used some white card to act as a mat, but inked the edges.  Just added the lettering, using my Slice machine, and the flowers, oh and a sentiment.    I guess it shows that you don't always have to go to extremes with your pages, they can be very simple. 

Lettering can be an issue in scrapbooking,   you could use a cuttlebug and buy the alphabets, or a punch set,  but I prefer the Slice.  It is a nice small machine,  doesn't take up too much space and is rechargeable.  The new model is also hands free, but it should be stated that anyone who has the earlier model can buy the hands free kit.  The new cards for the machine also allow you to do shadowing,  mirroring, and then there is embossing.  The cards can seem expensive, but when compared to a die cut alphabet set they are very cheap.  And of course you have the luxury of being able to cut letters to the size you want,  well up to 4 inches, which is big enough for any scrap page.
