Good Times 4th of July Page for Creative Scrappers Challenge
You ever print photos and then try to make a layout work only to realize they are way too big. Yeah, that happened to me here and in the theory of not wasting, I decided to use them anyway, just off set one.
Love how that turned out to be the photos of Lexi and her cousin which I cut in a circle to make a wee bit smaller and used a heart doily under it.
Very very fun sketch here from Creative Scrappers.
Here is a close up of the flowers and glittery ric-rac with a new product I just got in my hot hands so now I think I need to use it EVERYWHERE.
Do you see, hiding under all that bling...a doily boarder?
I KNOW!!!
Seriously. I got it from Linda's Shop which is called the Funkie Junkie...hmmmm I wonder if she named her store after me.
Here is a photo I borrowed from her website and a direct link right to this product.
I inked the edges of mine up and misted it a bit. I think misting will really make this product shine in my world.
THANKS LINDA for having such a cool shop!!!
And SIS IN LAW if you are reading this. Your kids are famous again! All published in blog land.
She was the one running around taking photos like a mad woman of the cousins looking cute.
YES, we made them all wear red, white and blue.
I will be making her a double page spread of all the cool photos she took that day.
Happy Nearly Hump Day!

ReplyDeleteAwesome take on the sketch and I love the doily style lace and it looks great inked. Lovely work Mirtra!!!
ReplyDeleteHI.. all the co-ordinated colors look fabulous! and a wonderful take on the sketch.. and I love all the doilleys..
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to check out that shop - it looks fab - well the things you have bought from it I mean!! Loving all the lavish use of pretties in these last 2 pages & I hear you on the photo sizes. I don't print 10 x 15 often anymore as there is a 9 x 13cm option in Picasa that is just a smidgeon smaller - I find that works really well...
ReplyDeleteLove how you made the sketch work for you! The ribbon flowers are fantastic and I love the doily border! Another awesome page!!
