I got some new toys for scrapbooking. I am waiting for a kit and more I ordered from the (not) Just for Boys kit club. This will be the first time I have played with more expensive items. All I got from Michael's was on clearance or big sale and the rest was mostly Dollar stores. I'm not saying they are bad quality, because I love using this. This kit, though, is my attempt at putting my toes on the "luxury" items. Speaking of what I got, though, includes a trip to Walmart. I got some gems, washi tapes, new scissors (my little ones needed replaced), and some stickers. Bigger news is that I had the youngest pick out her scrapbook album. She picked a white marble print one. The book is already half full from the pages of her. I have more to make of pictures printed or ready to print (Thanksgiving still has been avoided), so I bought extra page protectors to add on the book.
This layout is from the Toledo Auto Show. Last minute, the older girl ended up going with us. I was taking the oldest as a birthday gift. She was excited to hear there would ne balloon art. Of course, that was all she wanted to do. We got there and there was a line for him, but the face painter was empty. She asked her if she wanted something and came up with the design. My girl decided that I should get a picture of it for asking others in the future. Then, the balloon artist was available and she asked for a spider. They decided on a happy spider and she carried it around the rest of the day. Two weeks later, this spider is still inflated.
So, this layout is going as a submission to Sketches in Thyme. I used papers from my Michael's pads and my new Fiskers scallop scissors. My washi tape came from Walmart, which includes the flowers made from washi petal tape. I added some gems in their centers along with putting the one in the middle of the tag. Instead of journaling, I added the third photo. My middle photo was popped up with fun foam. I even used a new sheet due to the size. I got one rub-on in by using the spider. The stickers all came from Dollar Tree. Lastly, my journaling was written around the outside of the page.
I hope all is good with everyone. Comment away. I need to get back to business with these pages.
What a great page! Nice mix of papers and I love your journaling around the edge! Thanks for joining us at Sketches in Thyme.
