Another homemade tag makes the page

These tags have been gracing my ledge since they were made

and I've been trying to work them in since I made them about a month ago.

The one that made the page this time is

the Dare to Dream in the upper left corner.

So that's 4 down!!!!

Go meeeee!!!

 I built the page again without a photo in mind and pulled it altogether

by tucking the tag into the side of the mats.

I added extra layers and butterflies because I could.

In the spirit of May Flaum's Use your Stash - I used mist, mist and more mist.

Mr. Huey and Heidi Swapp.

The next was to look for the photo that would fit into the mats.

And a trimmed 4x4 made the cut. (yunk yunk)

I also wanted it to be black and white.

I changed this photo up and I love it because it fits into

the "Dare to Dream" theme.

Climb it, be strong, believe.

New Studio calico paper, Basic Grey, the homemade tag and other

embellies (that match) K&Co. Martha Stewart butterflies because I love them

and used some pearls up from the stash. 

Love pink and grey

I don't know why but its one of those cool

color combinations.

And the little Martha Stewart doilies. 

I had 3 in my stash and time for them to be used up.

The MS butterfly punch - best purchase ever.

And look at those 4 photos.

I have done one or two separately on pages

long time ago, but in rifling through the wayback box

I found four.

And it shows the progression of my little snit.

The majority of the supplies are Studio Calico and

the papers are from this month's kit.

Just delivered on Monday.

And I couldn't wait to break into it.

I have been watching Kittyscrapper's videos and she's 

a freaking hoot - not to mention a very fun scrapbooker.

So my background pages reflect that.

She uses a back paper - cuts a hole out - mats the photos with that

and adds a "front page". 

I decided to try it and its a great time and it does use up supplies and 

adds a bit of a pop.

I love her English accent - she makes everything sound cool.

I have also signed up for May Flaum's use your stash

and I have been wanting to use those

transparent alphas FOREVER.

They finally worked although I had to frankenstein some letters.

May's class is fun and informative and

actually have done the last few pages with those tips

and tricks in mind and forgot to mention it.

Why? I've just been feeling off my game lately and now

having "A DOH" moment.

Sad, really.

Ever feel like that?

Now I have to figure out how to link her up.
