I thought I should show you some scrapbooking. Now I’m just starting out on this scrapbooking venture and I have a lot to learn. I liked how this page turned out though. It is a 6″x6″ page. This is of my DD Carlie. This photo was taken 18 months ago when she was 7. She loves dressing up. Although, she told me the other day that she is getting too old to dress up! We even packed up her baby doll clothes and her dress up clothes. It was a very sad day (for me anyway!!)
I picked out the colours in the photo to use. The base is Tempting Turquoise. I have matted the photo in Ruby Red and used a Chocolate Chip card strip. I didn’t have any alphabet stamps at the time so I used the Ruby Red marker to ink up the letters from my Sincere Salutations set. It does say BIG. I know it is not too clear!! The word wish is from the Short and Sweet set. I don’t seem to make a card or anything without using this set. Of course, I have used Baroque Motifs set as well. The flower embellishment is from Seeing Spots. I inked the flower in versamark and stamped it on Ruby Red cardstock. I applied heat and stick powder, heat embossed it then added the Dazzling Diamonds. I heated it again to let it set. I cut the circle out. I didn’t have any turquoise brads, so I punched a circle out with a small circle punch and adhered it to the centre. It was very fiddly, but with some perseverance (and a little force LOL) – it stuck. I added some crystal effects to the centre to make it shiny – and you can see that of course! I used dimensionals to add it the page. Page done! I have a few other pages lined up to finish, so I will have to get a move on.
