I finally completed my Finish Line Scrapbook! You know, the one that’s supposed to take 4-6 hours over two nights? The one I started in September? Yeah, I’m finally calling it done! Yay for me!

Now, in the interest of full disclosure, I will say that I haven’t touched it since September, and the bulk of it, minus the inside covers and title page, were finished. I just had to complete those few pages and do my journaling. Of course, my journaling is very limited as I thought the pics spoke for themselves – it was a vacation at Eastport beach last summer – and I’m not a huge journaler anyway. Also, we didn’t do the standard 6×6 mini album, we did a 12×6 one, which is a great size!

Also, there are hardly any embellishments, which I’m fine with since I misted all the pages and used a border punch along the way. The embellies I did use are almost all from the October Afternoon Seaside Collection Word and Label Stickers. If you’re going to have one type of embellishments, October Afternoon is the way to go!

But still, it’s done and I can sit and flip through my book, enjoying the pictures of our vacation. Isn’t that really what it’s all about anyway?

Thank you, Stacy Julian, for a great concept – even though the process stresses me out!
