Several months back, I was asked to contribute a layout to an article for Scrapbooks, Etc. February issue in which I transformed an everyday embellishment into a winter-themed accent. Here's the page I made, which features Miss R at her very first ski lesson:
patterned paper (ki memories) + tag (collage press) + chipboard letters (basics grey) + glitter shapes (melissa frances) + stickers (american crafts) + button (basic grey) + font (Ieister) + machine stitching
I created the snowflake next to the title by combining shapes from a sheet of Melissa Frances glitter chipboard flowers. The center is a flower, accented on the end of each petal with the "x" shapes, which were cut in half.
Unfortunately, my page was cut from the article, so the only place you'll get to see it is here on my ol' bloggeroo. :) But hey, I got paid, so I'm not complaining! And I'll be using that compensation today to purchase the perfect shoes for my formal dress (will post more on that tomorrow!) Today's to-do list also includes spending a big chunk of time working on freelance projects, getting a birthday gift for one of Hayden's classmates, a grocery trip, a 7-mile tempo run, and finalizing my accessory selection for the big event on Saturday night - back tomorrow with an update, alrighty?!?
