My Bits and Pieces of Paper

This picture of Ryan and I was taken while we were bowling one afternoon in March. There aren't too many pictures of the two of us together so I wanted to be sure to include this in his scrapbook. I used the 4.29 sketch from Sketchy Thursdays for the inspiration for this page using Fancy Pants Designs papers and ribbon from the Summer Soiree collection. I added lots of layers and various punches to add some fun to the page. I even made a little pocket for a bit of hidden journaling and added some glittery rub-ons for sparkle. I'm planning a trip to Great Lakes Mega Meet this weekend with a friend. While we're there we have signed up for a crop at Archiver's. Can't wait to enjoy a weekend filled with lots of shopping and cropping! Hopefully I'll have many more pages to share afterwards.

The twist for this week's challenge at Twisted Sketches was "clean". I chose to work with a picture of me as a baby taking a bubble bath. After all, how much cleaner can you get? I used a variety of patterned papers from various manufacturers including Making Memories, Sweetwater, and My Mind's Eye. The solid blue cardstock was sprayed with pearl glimmer mist to add some sparkle and shine. The sheer ribbon along the bottom of the photo was knotted in 3 places and then I added little paper flowers by Prima for the finishing touch. I'm also adding this to the color challenge this month at A Cherry on Top which was to do a blue monochromatic page. Thanks for looking.
