So remember a week or so ago when I was making this? Here's how it turned out. P.S. I'm in love.
Patterned paper, fabric paper, fabric brad, floral trim, glitter letters: Dear Lizzy + American Crafts. Pearl brads: American Crafts. Alpha stickers: Making Memories. Cardstock: Bazzill. Crystal pin: pbteen. Pink pin: Dritz. Thread. Photography by Dave. ; )
I mean, I don't think it gets much prettier than this. I didn't even try to reign in the girlie. I totally embraced the pink, hearts, flowers, etc, etc, etc. My whole idea for this page was to take a snapshot [well, metaphorically] of myself at 28 years old and make a page that's totally ME. Something that you could look at (without my photo, of course) and say, "That reminds me of Angela." I started this last year, and I think I'll keep it up. And apparently this year, I'm feeling very pink and girlie. : ) But also more carefree and joyful, ready for a season of laughter, friendships, and peace, which I've talked about before.
I meant for the "5.10" to mark the date - May 2010. It was obvious to me, but two people asked me what it was supposed to be. I guess not everyone can read my mind. Weird.
You can see Liz's tutorial on how to make the flowers here. The only tricky thing is pulling the adhesive backing off of the fabric. I recommend Goo Gone and a good movie.
A special thanks goes to Dave for being such a great photographer. And when I say great, I mean patient, flexible, and supportive. Also for making me laugh and being silly with me.
We have a big weekend coming up. I can't wait, and can't wait to share!
