Blatant page lift

I love doing lifts and learning different styles, don't you?
The best way to do that is lifting either in bits
and pieces or doing the whole darn thing.
Well.........
This page is a blatant lift of Eyoung Lee.

She has a beautiful, clean style and I happened upon

her on Google+ and started following.

My page isn't "pretty" or "romantic" like hers (the original) but I like how 

mine turned out all the same. It's fun.

Love these strips and I've been slowly working my

way through them - almost gone. 

 This transparency is fun and the last one

from the Studio Calico kit - Love that I'm using all the supplies.

Do you find that you save some embellishments and paper for "good". LOL.

("For good" is a saying for back in the day when you

dressed in your best for special occasions - that dress or

shoes you keep in the closet for only then.)
And didn't I just date myself there.

I seriously have a need to work through that.

 My elements didn't exactly work the same

on the page as hers but I still like the design.

Mixed into this page is "shades of Soaphousemama" and

the Embellishment DIY Class I took from her.

(upside down houses - a whimsical twist).

I like that.

Ashli has a very unique style as well and she's alot of fun to follow.

I used the glassine packages to mat the photo-

love the packaging and neeeeed more.

Everything Studio Calico except the heart
which is Bella Blvd.

Really little mixed media

I found this paper in with a stash of cardstock.

I'm assuming its Studio Calico.

As then, and now,  I wondered what I was going to do with it

which is probably why it was stashed far far away.

 Well as I mentioned before I took Ashli Oliver (aka Soaphousemamas)

Embellish DIY class and felt the need to channel.

First thing I did was back the yellow to the black because 

those colors really rock and then glue the

cutouts back.

Then I traced with white/black pens and splattered some mist.

And wow did I go wild or what.

I added some gesso and white paint to cover up a few ooppssies.

 I started out with another photo in mind but

it just didn't work as well, and this one

of Cavin happened to be laying on my desk and well

his yellow sticker just called my name.

And then layered that baby up.

 Added the owl because I had a ton leftover and

a couple of do-dads and decided I liked it.

Cards are MAMBI, houndstooth tissue Paper Issues.

When the mojo is still on the lam

Scrap lift, hi jack or just try someone's style....

In my case I stalk er, hang about Soaphouse Mama aka Ashli Oliver's blog

and videos and I love her style.

And while I adore her style, its a challenge for me to do.

She uses a lot of pastels and white.

Dainty stuff. 

(side note: I'm so not dainty) LOL.

In addition, she also flings things on a page and makes them look awesome.

This page is not exactly a lift-lift - just more like her style.

As you will go see.

 So above is my version of flinging - and for the most part

I'm really really happy with it.

Although there is some part of me screaming they neeeeed to be anchored.

Its just my way.

However, I'm slowly getting over it....

 Ashli also uses dainty papers- and this one had pretty colored

really tiny hash tags on it.

I couldn't help myself, I had to fling some mist on there.

After the page was completed-mist and all,

 it still looked too white to me --so......

I broke out some Technique Tuesday stamps (I think) for faux sewing

and buttons. I don't stamp well - but that doesn't stop me.

And you shouldn't let it stop you.

Just sayin...

 And soft buttons, tags and die cuts.

And lots and lots of layers.

Looking at it now I could've used more layers behind the

photo, however, I'm down with what I have.

Notice I used a hashtag in the title that goes with the paper.

I love this page!!!

Random flinging and all.

It really was a lot of fun, and with my sense of alignment

 thrown to the wind, I just may do it again.

Studio Calico, Authentique, Shimelle, Echo Park, Recollections.

Floaty as opposed to Floating embellishments

And doesn't that capture your attention.

In full disclosure this page is a jack from Soaphouse Mama or Ashli.

I love her stuff,

I stalk her stuff,

and whenever I need a shot of mojo 

I jack her stuff.

Thank you Ashli!

As you can see there are adorable little clusters of embellishments

in really fun layers.

These were very fun to do.

 tons of layering fun.....

 lots of scraps being used.....

And then I began putting the page together with the clusers.

And a "grid" happened.

I love the layers and the little clusters. The majority of the papers is Echo Park,

with some of my diecuts and Paper Issues Swag bag.

(AND...I used Ashli's idea of using writing paper as mats-love the soft and etheral look).

Anyhoo, in yapping with my pal April, I was pointing out that:

a. its a new look for me

b. it was fun to do

c. the clusters appear to be floating (not grounded) and

they're driving me nuts

My pal pointed out that while they weren't grounded they were "floaty" which

is completely different than "floating."

This was my face :|

I love this and Ashli can pull it totally off - where I'm in love and

when I try it maybe because its just me

I feel like they're floating.

You tell me - floaty or floating.........
