A page just for fun!

Happy Thursday to you!  I am sharing a page I made just for fun today...I rarely have time to do that anymore.  I saw a recent sketch at Creative Scrappers (217) and decided to play along.  I have a lot of July 4th photos that I'm trying to get scrapped, so I made this one patriotic.  These pictures are of Paige in her first bikini two years ago...my little chunk!


I love twine & buttons...I'm always drawn to wrapping twine around a group of papers or photos and "tying" them together.  I just like the look.


I used some chipboard stars as masks, and then misted around them.  I then traced around them with a black pen.


I added a bit of hand stitching here and there.


Here is Sketch 217...isn't it awesome?!

It was great to see you...thank you so much for stopping by! I'll have more to share this weekend :) Have a wonderful day!

    Great use of that sketch, Missy and I LOVE the twine wrapped around your paper and finished off with the star and button! The masked stars look awesome and I love that you outlined them with the black!
