Embellish DIY Style

As you know I love Ashli's style and I have a tendency
to stalk,  er check her blog out daily.
Well I took her Embellish DIY Course and have
viewed it several times and did a few of my own pages
but THIS PAGE is the most DIY yet.
 All those pre-made stickers and tags available are so
freakin' adorable, however, sometimes the
colors or size just doesn't work - so for this page - I made my own.
Not quite as handmade as Ashli BUT homemade all the same.
I punched out circles and squares because I really suck at scissors LOL.
I finally made peace with the fact of hand cutting mats and photos instead of
using a trimmer- so baby steps.
I then broke out my Dear Lizzy stamps (and Studio Calico) - I adore
this stamp set and use it a lot. 
So I stamped on the squares and circles - I KNOW....
I also stamped around.
The feathers were fussy cut too.
The hardest part is covering stuff up.
I want to see it all. LOL
Ashli explains that too. 
 Got some shadows going on here.
Early morning. OOps.
 Love how fun it was to do and I'll be doing more of it.
Studio Calico with mix of Basic Grey papers.

Miss Amelia doing what she does best - trying to defy gravity.

Anyhoo, check out Miss Ashli's class.
