I Dog-earred page 20 in the Oct 2011 of CK Mag..........



and used it as the inspiration for my page "So Big." Okay, so Annie's not quite aware that she's all that with the "so big" gesture, but her laid back, relaxed position is perfect. Only the young can strike a pose like that and actually sleep.

If I slept in a pose like that all my appendages would be wailing in agony and I'd be curled in the fetal position harmonizing.
Oh to be young.

Cloud 9 was perfect for this and I think this line can be determined as stash. Added a couple of stamps, punches and QK spicy chicken. I love that font.

As you may know, or not, I have issues with depth perception. The hardest part, was when I whacked
the strips, some of them were not straight. Hard to believe I know, especially when I used a trimmer.
As a result, the strips are wonky and some finessing was

required.

I just loved the overall look of the original page. All the embelleshments are perfect touches. Artist: Nicole Pomeroy.

I'll be going back to the mag as I have A LOT more dog-earred pages where that came from.

Your layouts are always so fun to look at. If I slept in that position, I, too, would be in a lot of pain upon waking.
