Scrapbooking again...

I'm back on the scrapbooking horse, although not really back to full whack.  I'm finding it hard to get started...

Here's the first two pages I made... they look very similar to one another.  I suppose part of it was that I didn't pack many embellishments or any sprays,  stencils, washi, chipboard... I just went with patterned papers, some stamps and die-cut letters.  I'm not totally pleased with the result but then, perhaps I ought to scrapbook from home, where all my materials are in reach.

I'm sure I'll get to a point where I'm happy with my work again...
