Belle

Hello all! It's time for a new sketch reveal at 2 Broke Girls. So today I'm sharing my inspiration page that I did based off this week's sketch
And here's what I created
For this page I dug back into my stash of older collections, hoping to find papers that would compliment the pretty photo and maybe make a small dent in my hoarded stash. And this is what I found. I used lots of distressed layers and chipboard pieces from BoBunny's "Little Miss" collection. The script paper is one that I've had for awhile as well, unfortunately I can't remember where the heck I got it or who makes it. I inked the edges in "vintage photo" distress ink. And I used distress paint in "vintage photo" for the rings. The flowers, pearls, lace, and ribbon are all from my stash. Do you think the girl is taking a flower or putting it in the arrangement?

Family

Good morning! Can you believe that it's already October 1st? Fall has finally started to arrive where I live with cooler nights and the leaves beginning to change. I just love Fall in the Smokies. With the changing season I decided to create a page with a photo of us during a family cookout/bonfire and more Fall like colors for the Use Your Words reveal. Here is my "Family" page
I chose to use some Authentique "Blissful" range that I've been hoarding for awhile. I love this color combo. I distressed and lightly inked the layers in black. For a little more texture and interest I tucked in a zipper that came in an older Scraps of Darkness kit. The cute little light bulbs are by Prima. And the flowers are a mix of Prima, Recollections, and my stash. The ribbon and pearls are from my stash as well. And lastly, to tie it all together I used some Inka Gold in "Lava red" randomly throughout the layers.
And now it's your turn to share your "family" with us. I can't wait to see your creations. Thanks for dropping in for a peek. Have a great day!
