I decided to give my bloggy friend Jessy some support over at Mission to Create & made a page using 3 of this week's concepts - 1} Using the photograph on the left as colour inspiration 2} Using Brads & 3} Stitching a Border.
I'm enjoying working with colour schemes as a starting point over @ Colour Combos Galore & keep meaning to play @ The Colour Room but Friday is a bad day for deadlines for me, which is when TCR is due in so keep missing that one unfortunately.
I used a pale bronze metallic cardstock for the background & teamed it with red bazzill & white Making Memories Die-cut Eyelet I Do paper. The pp & artisan tape is 365degrees by Pink Paislee {crazy about this line right now...} . Glitter alphas also PP. Pearl ribbon & velvet floral ribbon both Prima {to die for...}
This challenge forced me to get my sewing maching back into action since the move & although I was loathe to stitch a border on my layout I was happy in the end with the texture it created {I zig-zagged OVER the artisan tape} & I like how I stopped the tape at the sides without going right to the top & bottom - I think this makes the whole LO look more relaxed/casual.
I embellished with lots of flowers, some of which have BRAD centres {required for the challenge}. Years ago I went "brad mad" so I am always extremely grateful for any challenge requiring the use of brads as I'd like to use them right up lol...
And, yes, that's me! With Cami, now 10!! As I mentioned before I am sorting out my old framed photo collection, scrapping the photos & revamping the frames as gifts. Great economy & helps use up your old stash too ;-D
