Scrapbook Sunday

I've been staring at this page for 2 weeks, moving things around, adding to it, taking away and finally adding something else. I think it's now done... well it better had be as it's al stuck down!

I've used a couple of retiring products, the papers Sweet & Sour Speciality Designer Series Paper (117390 £9.95), Early Espresso 5/8" Satin Ribbon (119753 £6.75) & Pumpkin Pie 1-1/4" Striped Grosgrain
Ribbon (115616 £10.25)

The stamps are 'Butterfly Prints', thanks Kathie for the loan :)

The pictures are of my 2 nieces, Lizzy (15) & Megan (14) with my cousin's daughter Evie.

I chose the colours from Evie's top, I had originally planned Tangerine Tango but wanted to use the Sweet & Sour papers so went for Pumpkin Pie instead, matched with some Regal Rose & Early Espresso.

The title started life 7 days ago as plain chipboard. One morning before work I used a sponge dauber and covered the letters in Whisper White Craft Ink (101731 £7.25). Normally I would dry with a heat gun then put on a  second layer, but as I was on the way out the door to work I left the letters to dry. The following morning I did the same again.

Friday I decided I needed a bit of glitter so got out the 2-Way Glue Pen (100425 £3.25) and covered the letters in Dazzling Diamonds (102023 £3.75), again off I went to work and left them to dry.

Yesterday I thought ' not quite right' so I covered the letters in a layer of Crystal Effects (101055 £5.75) which gives that great lacquered look and reminds me of the geli letter stickers you could buy a few years ago.

Well that's all for today, thanks for stopping by!

  1. This is great - even though the one you showed us previously was also good. Who'd have thought that the 'smile' took so much thought - I'm so glad that I'm not the only one who has to take that much time to decide something is 'ready'. It's worth the effort though. I like the white for the journalling as that's the important bit that will help you remember the day these photos were taken.
    It's also very good at using up the current Stampin'Up retirement products; codes and prices - you're getting good at all this selling stuff :-) Hope you also enjoyed the process of making the page
