Why I Scrap

Hi there Scrapbookers.
It has been a hectic week since I last posted!
On Saturday we had a crop here in Athens and we had a record number of 30 ladies attending. I taught the girls how to make a couple of flowers...which we then added to our L.O.s.
Irini in turn encouraged the girls, and help those that needed her guidance to create a L.O. using the sketch from Once Upon A Sketch The journaling this time around focuses on why we scrap?
I chose this rather malancholic photo of myself and my 2 eldest children, that I found at my FIL house this summer. I know neither where nor when it was taken....I also do not know why we look so fed up!
You see I never scrapped back then ,so I do not remember...this is why I am frantically telling my family's story now.
I used things from the kit that was provided at the crop...The little yellow flower was hand-made by Irini...I just love it!! Thanks Irini...oh yes I also bummed the brad off  Irini...thanks doll!
The bird and the question mark, as well as the alphas were from my stash.
As You can see I Glimmer Misted the page...and I need tips as to how we can get rid of the warping...I have ironed L.Os in the past.
I hope that you all have a great week.
Love.
Zeffy.

    Καλημέρα Zeffy! Περάσαμε πολύ όμορφα στο crop κι ευχαριστούμε για τα λουλουδάκια που μας έδειξες μαζί με το υπέροχο κιτ που είχες φτιάξει για όλες μας!!! Πράγματι μελαγχολική η φωτογραφία, αλλά όλα είναι μέσα στη ζωή και μου άρεσε, εκτός των άλλων, αυτό που γράφεις: no more nameless photos!!! φιλάκια

    Πολύ όμορφη η σύνθεση Ζέφφυ μου! Στο είπα κι από κοντά! Το μάθημα και το κιτ για τα λουλουδάκια ήταν υπέροχο και σε ευχαριστούμε πολύ! Μ' αρέσει τόσο η μπορντούρα στο τελείωμα της σύνθεσης και το πουλάκι με τα swirls! Και το misting και το stamping και όλο! Ανυπομονώ για το μάθημα. Θα σε πάρω σήμερα για να σου πω για τα παιδιά. Πολλά φιλιά!

    Zeffy I love that photo even if you look sad! I love the colors you used and how clever it was to use the swirls as wings of the bird! I love it! Thank you for the great flower tutorial at the crop! We had a great time! Thank for sharing your work with us at OUAS!

    Beautiful page, and what a great subject to scrap on - I still haven't worked out the warping thing with mists, if I am only doing a small area I masking tape the page down and let it dry that way...if not they seem to flatten a bit more once they are in my albums.
