AKBride (Hey, Teresa!) and I spent a glorious weekend in Astoria, Oregon attending a Scrappin' Retreat with 18 other women. We had a blast and are already packing for the next one...whenever that is. LOL! This is one of the pages I completed.
I started with a scrap map from 52 Weeks...52 Sketches http://52sketches52weeks.com/?p=269. Starting from the base up, I used a piece of Textured Really Rust cs and faux sewed a border all the way around 1" in from the sides. The next layer is a 7" square of Autumn Meadows dsp, which was sponged with Soft Suede ink. Onto this, I adhered the name, which was done with Soft Suede cs, my Big Shot and Timeless Type Junior Alphabet dies. The next layers are a 5 1/2" circle of Soft Suede and a 1 1/2" strip of Autumn Meadows dsp. I then cropped the photo to 4 3/4" by 4 1/2" and adhered it. Finally, the fun part! I stamped JUST and FABULOUS with Soft Suede ink onto Very Vanilla cs, cut them out like a flag, colored the edges with my Soft Suede marker and adhered them to the page. I used my Crop-A-Dile to add four large mustard-colored eyelets to Very Vanilla and adhered it to the page with Mini Glue Dots. To finish things off, I painted some Soft Suede cs with Frost White Shimmer Paint and then cut out 1" squares to be layered under the 1" Clear Buttons. I tied them off with some fibers and added them to the page with Mini Glue Dots. I then just added the corduroy buttons, Very Vanilla brads and called it good.
Phew! TFL – Regina
