The joy of Discovery

here is a lo i done of my great niece roxanne, so far this year ive been realy good, i havent bought enymore scrapbooking materials. for my newyears resolution, i decided not to buy enymore, until ive used up what ive got. and believe me i have a lot. for this lo i used my green flower embossed paper, that i had for christmas, and stuck it down behind the photo, to highlight the colours of the photo. i attached the vellum saying to the green paper, using green eyelets. then threaded through green & blue thread, tieing them both in the middle to finish off. i used my dymo machine to type out the words, roxanne in the ballpool at flambards. and attached the words on the right side of the photo. last of all i used my old velvet alphabet stickers, to add the word fun, under the photo. i think the colours ive used, work realy well with the photo. this is one of my faverate lo's, so far.

Roxanne

for this lo, i used up some of my old diecut shapes, i thought they looked too plane, so i used my glitter glues to highlight the letters on the block, on the dummy, on the duck and on the butterfly. then added them to the page. i attached a diecut of stars & moon under the photo, and used glitter glue on the word adorable, to make it sparkel. i stuck down alphabet stickers ,down the right side of the page, and used glitter glue on the letters too, with the name roxanne. i made the slider at the bottom of the page, using my cuttlebug machine, sliderdie and card scraps. i added a pink flower botton to embellish it. last of all i weaved through the papermania ribbon to attach the slider. then secured the ribbon to the back of the page. i love how much this page sparkel.
