I don't consider myself an 'Off the Page' person - some of my friends tend to think I'm 'off the planet' but we WON'T go there!! Personally, I just love what's 'on the page' too much to venture too far from it!! But when I saw this weeks Die Cut Dreams Challenge was anything BUT a card - I thought I would bring out this lovely little Boxed Christmas Album which I started about 1 year ago (head hung with shame!!) with my neighbour Nat....I had basically finished it but just needed to 'tweak' it!! So now it is finished and ready for this challenge
....as if the Box and Album weren't challenge enough - taking the photo was even moreso!!! LOL!! I wanted to fit it all in one photo - not as easy as it looked....so after 24 photos...I thought I would put the Box on something behind the album - sounds simple - not when I am doing it....nothing was the right height...so I finally added my mobile/cell phone to the already stacked box of ribbons and a stamp...just the right height....until I got a text message and the phone was on vibrate....down it all came....restack it you say...well I did and then for some unknown reason the last page of the album would not stay where is should have, no matter what I tried...so....I had to resort to BLUE TAC...which turned out to be green! If you look carefully you can see it...no point trying to hide these things!!
BUT...the photo turned out okay...which I am happy about as I had to dust the top of my desk to take it....wouldn't have wanted to have done that for nothing! LOL! This set was made up from an instruction set that was given to us from our previous SU Demo...I am not sure but it may be from SCS - if you recognise it and know the link, please let me know and I will add it - I want to give credit where it is due!!

Oh, Linda, this is absolutely FABULOUS!!! I'm so glad you finished it. It's a real piece of art. I LOVE your story of the photo!!! It's like if anything could go wrong, it did go wrong, but in the end, you won the battle and that's what is important. This is a REAL WINNER!!! TFS!
