For The Love Of Paper
My friend La-Vie, of C’est La-Vie Designs Unlimited, LLC recently celebrated her birthday, and in honor of her special day she’s doing a giveaway on her blog.
While that’s exciting in itself, I’m honored to say she mentioned my blog twice! Please go wish her a happy birthday, subscribe to her blog, and join in on the fun.
The April 1st challenge for About A Boy (link on the sidebar) was to use chevrons in your design – easy right!? WRONG! I went through my entire stash and found I had nothing. Apparently I’ve never used a chevron before.
I went looking in my idea books and on web pages for inspiration, but everything was so busy for my style of scrapping. I then stumbled upon a picture that had nothing to do with chevrons and noticed the rick rack, and that was the inspiration for the following page.
I knew I wanted the chevron to be subtle when I started so this was perfect for that.
I’ve never done a haul video before, but thought the festival was the perfect opportunity to try. I also tried a new filming technique in hopes of making it easier for me to see what the camera is actually getting.
My mom has also told me my whole life that I look washed out without my lipstick, and that I shouldn’t wear my hair pulled to much off my face. I always looked in the mirror, and thought um…ok. Once I filmed, and viewed, this video…wow is she right! If it hadn’t been later in the day I would have re-done it with some make-up touch ups.
So without further ado….my haul video.
The schedules at work were re-arranged so I was lucky enough to have off the Saturday of the annual stamp show in Allentown, PA. It’s about 20 minutes away and I had a free ticket! I tried to do some vlogging while I was there, but didn’t want to interrupt everyone’s shopping as I wasn’t alone. Hope you enjoy going shopping with me!
Happy Easter everyone! I hope you had a good day celebrating this special time with family and friends.
I completed this layout earlier in the month for a use your scraps challenge, that I ultimately missed due to our camera breaking 🙁 It’s currently out for repair and the estimate is 4-6 weeks. I’m taking pictures from my phone so please bear with the quality for awhile.
I like the way the layout came out, but I could use some help with the title. I was thinking something along the lines of skee-ball or play-ball since it was M’s first time seeing the boardwalk games, but I just can’t come up with a placement idea, or design, I like. Any suggestions?
I also kept on a roll with my love of glitter. I felt the page needed some items of interest, but not necessarily more layering embellishments. I just outlined some of the flowers to add pop, but not too much. I didn’t know if you could see it in the full picture so I grabbed an up close of one section.
I think when I go to the show next month I need to buy more glitter colors and I’m really loving the pop it adds to my papers. I’d love to hear what your favorite glitter companies and colors are…Drop me a comment!
