Last Minute

Today I made a last minute birthday card.  I accidentally missed a fairly important birthday, but I figured better late than never!

It looks pretty simple, and that's because it is, but I really wanted to keep it easy to mail and use washi tape.  I don't tend to use washi tape as much as I want to (or that my collection implies I should be) so getting to play with it and being reminded of how much I enjoy it was nice.

Love It

Today's page was a very special one for me to make because I really love the photo I used.  It's an old one of my cousin and I on my grandpa's lap when we were little.

I really like how I was able to pattern mix my papers and incorporate some old textured paper I'd been holding onto since about 7 or 8 years ago.  

Sometimes it's difficult for me to figure out how to mix multiple textures, patterns, and materials together but I think this turned out pretty cohesive.

I accidentally deleted my file that told me all of the elements and where they came from so the list is really short.

Feelin' Myself

Today's page was fun for me to look back on one of my many different hair colors I've had.  I took this right after I it dyed orange which complimented my St. Patrick's Day just a few days later.  I don't usually scrapbook just a selfie but I decided I'm going to start.  There's nothing wrong with showing yourself some extra love.

I really liked getting to play off the colors in the photos to pick a paper that I might not usually have gravitated towards.  The background paper is from the lot I got at an estate sale and while it's not my usual style I really like the way it works here.

I also got to use some stickers I had that were supposed to be spring/Easter but that I hadn't used in years.  I figured this was just as good of a time as any to break them out.

Scrapbooking Fever

 Lately I've been trying to go through my box of ticket stubs and other mementos to try and scrapbook them.  This is the playbill and ticket from when one of my dad's coworkers gave me tickets to a musical.  I used them to go on a first date and while the date wasn't all that exciting the musical sure was!

I tried to keep a fun disco-esque theme with the page since that was what the musical was focused around.  I also got to use a lot of sparkle and sequins which is right up my alley.
