The tag is a sticker from the My Stickease™ Perfect Day Collection & the bookplate a piece of chipboard that is painted, inked, distressed & clear heat embossed to give it an awesome 3D effect. Here's a close-up:
I'm also a huge fan of taking something that was meant for one thing & using it out-of-the-box. I cut a square metal tag in half, creating a neat photo corner:
I used jumbo scalloped scissors from Provo Craft & some CTMH eyelets to create this photo corner. You also see some of my non-CTMH embellishments, like those adorable Heidi Swapp sparklies. Of course, Close to My Heart offers a clear equivalent, but I'm trying to use up some old supplies. Come on, we all have tons!
I love to add a lot of dimension in my layouts & accomplish this by using foam squares in places where a shadow will be cast. Love it!
I felt very inspired by the Perfect Day Collection, so I also created this double page spread.
My older daughter, who was only eight at the time took these photos of Gabby & me. There were several photo's that I really loved, but they weren't something that I would generally add to my scrapbook without a little tweaking.
While I liked these photo's, they weren't composed well, but in general the usable part of the photos were about the same size. Yay! I cut them all the same size (approximately 2"x3"), matted them, put them topsy-turvy down the left side of the left hand page, & added the photo corners from the My Stickease Assortment.
I just love how this title came like this. I didn't have to do anything to it! Maybe you noticed that I really love the paint, ink, distress, heat emboss technique because I did it again here using the brackets from Dimensional Elements Fresh Shapes chipboard. Here you can see the shine that the embossing powder creates!
I love that you can stamp on the CTMH twill! I'm also a huge fan of knots in ribbons, as you can see... I created unity in both pages by carrying over the knotted ribbon.
