Scrapbooking Again

Well, wouldn't you know it, I made two more scrapbook pages!  Weird right?  Well, these two pages are due to finding the GORGEOUS new line of MME paper, Lost & Found.  Swoon!  They are absolutely beautiful and are just perfect for scrapbooking.  

While I was browsing through the paper at Scrapper's Boutique, I came across this paper and it immediately reminded me of the time my mom tried to show Jessica (my sister) how to sew.  The looks on my sister's face were so funny, I pulled out my camera to record them.  So, I pulled out the pictures, purchased a few embellishments and here's what I came up with:

I made one for my mom and one for Jess so they could always remember their mother-daughter time together.  I apologize for the glare, but I didn't remember to photograph them until they were in their shadowboxes.  There's lots of different elements on these pages, so this might be a long post. :) 

The glittery titles were made using Making Memories alphabet stickers and crystal swirls by Prima Marketing were added to both pages.  The small spools at the bottom right were made using small wooden spools from Hobby Lobby painted with white acrylic paint and spooled with ivory and pink embroidery thread.  Both pages have clear acrylic brackets that were painted with alcohol inks and pearl hat pins attached to the ribbon ruffle.  Tiny scissor and thimble charms finished off the pages. 

I plan on giving them to my mom when we meet in San Marcos, I really hope they like them!

Scrapooking

I actually made a scrapbook page!!  Everyone who knows me knows that scrapbooking intimidates me, so I usually stick to mini albums or cards.  But, I've had this acrylic page tucked away since last year and I've been wanting to create an album from last year's vacation so I thought I would experiment with one page first.


I apologize for the glare in the picture, I was impossible to take a picture without getting some glare.  This was the best one. :(

I kept the layout simple using nice bright colors and white for accent.  I am actually quite proud of this page, lol!  It took me almost an entire day to create it.  I used stazon ink to stamp some travel images on the back side of the acrylic plate and to ink the edges.  I used a Martha Stewart border punch on the orange paper, an edge distresser on the the blue and white paper, and added a crystal flourish for some bling. 

At the rate I scrapbook, I might have an album together in 20 years!  Thanks for stopping by!
