Love Birds

Ah, don't you just love Maya Mists? It's oh so shimmery! I recently got some Maya Resist and used it to write the words "Love Birds" on the page. There's a tutorial here on this great stuff! I also used a mix of JBS Mercantile and Stampin' Up products (full heart punch, elegant eggplant cardstock, melon mambo cardstock, and antique brads), along with some thrifted lace.

Here's a closeup...

One Sunday Afternoon

I just loved these three photos of my Dynamo. I wanted to try to preserve them in a special way. I thought they reminded me of a filmstrip/sequential shoot! I wanted them to all be on the same page. So, here was the result...

No, he wasn't posing. I don't think he even knew I took the top and bottom photos. Those are often the best ones...when no one knows you're taking them...

I did add journaling...just a little...to the page. I struggle with my handwriting. I just don't like it very much. Anyone else have that problem?

"Sunday" is from a set of old flashcards. The tree on the background paper was a page from an old children's book. I really do love old stuff!

I used a lego that my co-worker gave me (she snuck it from her son when he wasn't looking) to make the white and yellow dots on the page.

Scrappin' around

I've decided to try to scrap the real 12 x 12 size like all the rest of the world does. Here is my first attempt...

It's so fun to play with Maya Mists! I also used acrylic paints to create the background colors to match the colors in our shirts! Some of the embellishments are from JBS Mercantile, but the Play Date Designer paper and Kraft cardstock (as the background) are from Stampin' Up!

Here's a closeup of the page...

Another page tomorrow.
