An adorable homemade tag

made this page.

I put this tag together for no particular reason

along with others and it works

perfectly on this page.

That deer punch still makes me swoon!

Thanks Holli.

 The star and clock are very thin wooden

embellishments from Studio Calico - and they 

are perfect.

(I remember the "thin wooden" from back in the

day but not sure what it's from - anyone else remember?

They seem to be making a comeback)

 Those embellies are very cool and actually quite delicate.

The heart is part of it too.

A bit of mists in the background is quite dramatic

setting off that lovely dinner of ribs

that just melt in your mouth. If you ever get to

Memphis - you need to hit Beale Street.

It's a happening place.

Studio Calico.

Shine! A Christmas Page

Photoplay papers from my LSS didn't come easy

as they are all "heavy" papers.

Therefore, I rolled with white and that seems to tame 

it down. 

The mists that are in the background using

the packaging technique look closer in real life.

 Sort of.

Love the banners and the puffy embellishments

scattered about.

And Sam, the youngest grandkidlet enjoying

his Christmas presents and a snack.

Can't go wrong with that.

It was one of those mojoless times

and it happened when my pal Holli and I got together

at her place to scrap.

How uncool is that.

However, I persevered and got to thinking not all

pages have to be the "Mona Lisa" quality.

Sometimes you just have to glue things down and let go.

This Echo Park paper is really fun.

I did put the page together but after I brought it home it

seemed to be well plain.

So I added more mists and enamel and Nuvo dots about and

that really helped.

Also outlining in a sharpie helped.

 I did a couple clusters of them as it was really fun.

I did put some itty bitty hearts to the mix

and that turned out really neat too.

 Seriously, I agonized over this page and was like why.

However, it broke the ice and a couple of more

pages came so there's that.

And it's fun shopping at Holli's - she had some neat stickers

that helped the pages be special.

Don't forget to vote!

Using scrap strips

Still trying to use up some scraps.

And stickers - Basic Grey.

And it's perfect for the photo.

 Love all the fun layers.

I did change the strips from horizontal to vertical.

 I'm in the front getting this photo and Kevin

was on the side so he got Annie

trying to go for the rabbit ears and if you look

close so is Owen.

Poor grandpop had no clue. LOL.

All Basic Grey except the mist and enamel stars.

Cork and Arrow Spellbinder dies

You get FUN.

So I went overboard on the arrows.

It couldn't be helped.

Love their pose.

Love their fierce faces - well one has a sneer.

I don't know if Quintin is capable of sneering, he always wears a smile.

Whilst cruising HL looking Graphic 45 of which I know I have - just can't find.

And don't that say I have too much stuff.

Anyway I found spellbinder arrows  and some cork.

Swoon.

I also picked up an Echo Park paper pack.

Swoon again.

MORE To come because I also cruised through M's.
