When old photos aren't all that...

I've been having a massive sort out of old photos - hence the wireless silence on here recently.  My biggest problem is that when I began scrapbooking, I wildly sorted through packets and packets of photos to find the perfect photo for whatever I was doing at the time, and didn't keep all the photos together.  Over the years they have become more and more mixed up as I kept on searching.

Now I am being ruthless - my pre-digital photos are now in these categores - rubbish photos - out!  Average photos - stay in packets; good photos - in divided page protectors, complementing the best photos which are scrapped 12x12.

Along the way I found some photos of Sweden, a country I used to visit often as I worked with the Nordic Marketing Centre at my company.  I didn't have a very good camera in those days and lots of the photos aren't all that really.  So rather than chuck them, as I don't have too many, I decided to trim the good bits off and the layout below is a good summary of the Sweden I experienced.  I am really pleased as none of them merited scrapping, or even keeping really, but with this lovely woodgrain paper have made a great memory keeper for my travel album.

Materials:  MME Miss Caroline PP, Cricut Die Cuts use SC Woodgrain no. 1,  ticket by Anna Griffin, Washi Tape from Le Box Boutique on Etsy, Tin Pin and Star - Studio Calico, Pearls from Stash, Alphabet Letters by Basic Grey.

Thanks to Debbie for use of her lovely Paper Lace cartridge and the Cricut.  Thanks to Daisychain888 on UKS for the lovely doiley.  I discovered on this layout that you can punch washi tape, but it's better to de-stick it first!!
