Day 40: American Girl ® Magazine Cover Photo Shoot: Page Finished

Feeling much better after a good night's sleep, I had the energy to finish this page up today.  As I said yesterday, I selected two papers from Stampin' Up! to use.  The pink paper I used as the background, then I ripped the small purple-flower patterned paper into small rectangles to place at the upper left corner and the lower right corner of the 8 x 10 photo. I added a "made in the USA girl" tag (Autumn Leaves) to the lower right corner, on top of the ripped paper. I used a Stampin' Write Marker in Rose Red (Stampin' Up!) to journal around the outside edge of the tag.  The journaling blends into the page as it looks like it belongs on the tag. I threaded some pink and purple "scrapper's floss" (Karen Foster Designs) through some pink and purple buttons I got out of my button box, and used those to dress up the page.  I kept playing with putting my daughter's initial underneath all the writing on the magazine cover, but I ultimately decided it just looked too heavy and overcrowded.

Day 5: Desk Sets








Today, I worked on making desk sets. I covered wooden "gift bags" with scrapbook paper, and made a coordinating notepad and pen set that fit in each "gift bag". These would look great on a desk, bedside table, or telephone stand and would be so handy when you need to make a quick note about something.
