so i did this layout today..
i was getting bored of the photos i had so i dug through my drawer for old photos i havent seen in a long time, and i ended up with a picture of me when i was 8!
i started off trying to layer a piece of scalloped brown paper on a yellow paper patterned with white flowers..unfortunately the scalloped page was bigger than i wanted it to be so i had to slice off the sides and glue it underneath the sheet so i would still have the scallops..
but that left me with ugly lines on my paper which were very obviously glued together ):
and in the end, i decided not to go with the scallops after all and covered it up with lace!
what a waste..
again i started with the mindset that i was going to use as many embellishments as possible..
i filled the page with lace, metal and mother of pearl buttons, chipboard buttons and stickers, cut out flowers and birdcages, pink thickers, white ink and a doiley!
i stamped the quotation onto a piece of paper that looked like a dictionary page and tried to fade out the dictionary words using gold ink..and i finished it up by distressing the paper..
i love my tim holtz paper distresser! (:
