Day 282: Glamour Shots: Sugar and Spice Part 2

My daughter helped me decide how to embellish this page tonight.  I was showing her some crocheted flowers (Prima) I have been wanting to use, but I thought even though they were "soft" looking, they were almost too "heavy" for the page.  She noticed a gold heart that I had saved from a handbag (Relics), and suggested that I place it under one of the flowers to help the flower to look softer.  Those opposing soft and hard textures helped the flower to feel lighter, because that heavy gold heart grounds it. Last but not least, I added the beautiful stud and pearl swirl by Prima to the left side of the photo.

Day 281: Glamour Shots: Sugar and Spice Part 1

Tonight I decided what the title for this page should be: Sugar and Spice.  Again, I was trying to highlight the dichotomy between the studded leather jacket I am wearing with the feminine Graphic 45 papers I used for the background of this page. I used some lace (offray) at the top of the page for a soft effect, then used black rick rack (American Crafts) on top of that, again, those opposites.  I dug through my stash of "scrabble" letters to make the words "sugar, spice" and stamped a large ampersand (Stampabilities) on cream card stock and matted it with black to make my title. I put some of the torn pearl paper I used on my  "Pearls and Leather" page (see yesterday's post) underneath my photo and punched out two photo corners to frame the photo. However, this page needs something more.  I will work on it more tomorrow.  Corner punch by EK Success.

Day 280: Glamour Shots: Pearls and Leather Part 3

I added some tan Prima flowers with matte gold brads and a heart embellishment (Buttons Galore) to the page and now I am happy.  Pearls and Leather page is finished!

Day 279: Glamour Shots: Pearls and Leather Part 2

Now that we have returned from our weekend trip, I can get back to work on this scrapbook page.

I really like the look of all the "banners" that have become so popular. I had some tags in my stash that I thought worked with this page, and decided to make a banner with them.  Using my Crop-A-Dile, I added copper and pewter eyelets to the tags, and then laid them across a strand of the torn pearl paper (Graphic 45) to make a banner.  I found some typewriter key letter stickers in my stash and spelled out my name on the center three tags. While going through my stash, I found some coordinating stickers (and for the "love" sticker, a coordinating overlay, which I stapled on), I made a border for the bottom of the page. I am not happy with this page yet.  It needs something more.  I will leave it tonight and work on it again tomorrow.

Day 275: Glamour Shots: Pearls and Leather Part 1

For this page of Glamour Shots, I chose a pink distressed background paper (Basic Grey).  I knew I wanted to use the pearl paper by Graphic 45 as a contrast to the studded black leather jacket I was wearing in the photos. I tore it to kind of roughen it up and make it work with the distressed background. I decided where to place my photos on the page, and that is all for tonight.  I have to go get ready for our trip.

Day 274: Glamour Shots: Glitter Time: Completed!

Today I finished my Glitter Time page. I used a clock paper by Teresa Collins as the background page.  I used two black brackets by Laserline underneath my matted photos.  Glitter paper by American Crafts. I cut out the fashion cards from a page of Graphic 45 paper. Flowers by Prima, Ribbon in Razzleberry from Stampin' Up! Filmstrip stamp by Just for Fun, stamped on cream paper in my stash with Memento Black ink. Modeling sticker by 7Gypsies.

Day 273: Glamour Shots: Glitter Time: Photos Matted

Today I matted my photos on Pow! glitter paper by American Crafts.  The orchid color almost perfectly matches the dress I was wearing.

Day 271: Glamour Shots: Glitter Time: Lay Out

Tonight I decided how I wanted to lay out another glamour shots page.

Day 269: Glamour Shots: Lady in Red

I had fun layering lots of bling onto this photo.

Day 268: Glamour Shots Pages

When my husband and I were dating, I had some "Glamour Shots" taken and decided I wanted to put them in a scrapbook.  Tonight I selected the papers I will use. I think most of the papers will be from Graphic 45. They have a nice line of elegant, upscale papers.
