Topless Page


Just finishing up the last of my March Scraptastic Kit on this page. I did this last month too where I used my Stampin' Up Top Note die to get the very last little bits of pretty paper onto a page.

I had a few doilies I had been playing around with that I wanted to include. And decided to throw a funny picture of myself on there! And, I AM wearing clothes, see? You can see my coat in my rear view mirror.

If it isn't clear what this page is about, that makes sense. I have been considering where to put some journaling and now that I see the page like this all scanned in, I may just run it up the straight side of my scallops.

Anyhow, we have been getting some amazing weather for March. So, we decided to take the jeep top off.
That is what my title is referring to! This was the first ride we took with it and boy was it fun! We looped into the Adirondack park and it was awesome!

This little metal piece holding my title was originally silver and stuck out like a sore thumb on my page, so I opted to dye it blue with some alcohol inks. Then, used the same technique I blogged about last week in my Clear Vintage Page Charm post to add the letters and clear top coat. Instead of adding a crackle glue on top, I used Dimensional Modge Podge which dries in a nice clear finish.



























Here is another photo of a chipboard sticker than came with the kit. I always feel loved when I drive my jeep since THE MAN was pretty insistent that I get a vehicle that I was in love with.

And can you see that pretty photo of the waterfall? That was just a spot we found on our drive that was so pretty. If you look towards the top of the photo you can see the the dam that is holding the river back exposing the rocks.

And how to do you like that butterfly? It came in my kit and was a great addition!

And here is my baby all Topless and mostly clean. She was a bit muddier when we got home as we did find a nice trail and got a wee bit muddy! Had to include a photo since my SIL's kids have been asking!

    The pipe cleaner for the center of the butterfly is a fantastic idea. Marking that one down. :)
