OK, so if scrapbook paper sits in your stash for two years, does that make it Vintage? I had allmost all of the entire collection of Basic Grey's Bittersweet still untouched. I had done a layout or two and I think maybe a card or two as well. But for the most part I hadn't used this collection for anything. I promised my sister that I would help her make a Valentine card for her man on Sunday, so I thought I would pull out all the valentine papers and embellies that I tend to collect and rarely use.
That being said, I made two cards (six actually, as I made three of each design - I find it easier to make multiples of the same card when I am designing it) and a layout.
The layout I'm calling LOVE ROCK; and the photo is of some "shiny rocks" as my daughter calls them. They were part of a centerpiece to a wedding I went to years ago (Julia & Rob). I had put the rocks into my daughter's sand box and photographed them ... anyway, not a very exciting photo, but was a neat shot.
I tried a minimalist approach to this layout - my husband says it's missing something ... I dunno, I think it's done.
I glimmer misted an American Crafts rose ribbon - it started out white ... I love glimmer mist! Of course more stitching on this one too!
Let me know what you think!
Hello everybuggy! I've been watching too much Treehouse TV again methinks!
Anyway, I did a fantastic layout on Tuesday night over at Candace's place. This photo is one that my best friend Jennifer Carroll took for me of my son - this was his first photo shoot! She is simply a fantastic photographer - look her up at her website here.
I used Basic Grey's Curio line for this page and a little bit of Bo Bunny's Cambridge line and a couple of their Chiffon Rose trims. Some Prima flowers (and the packaging from the flowers). Some Webster's Pages trim. Tattered Angel's made the key, and some Dew Drops (love these little beauties) by Robin's Nest. In the corner I stamped with a Tattered Angels stamp and then I used a piece of dollar store trim with some Distress Ink for the honeycomb effect. I had seen that honeycomb effect done on another layout somewhere and LOVED it. Last but not least I used two of my hand-made corsage pins. OK, in the fourth photo I am showcasing my stitching again ... you may have to look hard, but it's there! Love my Husqvarna sewing machine!!
