'Twas a Banner Day!

 
Notice anything different??? 

My feet are wearing the same shoes. Woohoo!!! Good news on the footfront. Its healed; yet tender and tired. The caveat is to wear the sneakers until it aches and hurts, then break out the boot. I wore shoes for about 8 hours, moving around, but not bouncing off the rafters. and I'm good with that for a first day. Bonus!!! I don't have to sleep with it on anymore.

And then!!!

My first purchase of Basic Grey Warehouse box.

Its kind of like a grab bag with an attitude.

It wasn't what I thought it would be. 

I was thinking more lines, howevever, its about the

warehouse getting rid of old product to make room for the new.

I'm sure I'll be using quite a bit of this as Basic Grey

has always been my go-to line.

Especially when the mojo tanked.

The package of alphas - are alphas from all the lines and the embellishments

are the same - got stamps, bling, rubons, flowers, and enamels.

Lots of goodies.

The album is adorable - really adorable and I'll probably

dither about doing something with it because its 

really really adorable. LOL!

Layering on - A double dawg dare.

First off, babybeast is momma's nickname because Grammy would never think

that sweet, adorable, loveable, Amelia could possibly be 

a babybeast. LOL!

I started this page with the red mat and built the rest around.

I liked the way it popped the photo.

I also loved this paper from Studio Calico kit and

this Authentique is perfect with it.

 Love washi tape and used it at the top and side to anchor the paper layers.

I then decided that something more was required.

I dug way back in stash and its either old Basic Grey or 7 Gypsies

rubons that I found. It was a long piece that I cut up at

various intervals to fit and layered it over the washi tape.

 Well. I had some bling laying about and hadn't used it like forever.

There were diamond and black. Swoon.

So I cut that up to fit. 

And then butterflies instead of flowers.

 It's been awhile since I did really girlie. In this corner I didn't use

the washi tape, but it looked blank so I added the rubons, bling and butterflies

and it balanced out the page. I also splattered some red mist about.

Back to the red, I love the saying on that strip from Authentique

sticker sheet  and it covers

up some goofy gluing I did and the hearts have the 

same function - a goofy corner that bothered me.

Then -I layered the title on top of everything

And in red because it just balanced the rest of the red out.

I had to resort to QK katie font because I didn't have enough red letters

and none that could genetically modified, nor were the white ones

I had the correct size. It was kinda fun to break out the dies.

So after a long and windy ride -

YOUR CHALLENGE IS TO LAYER LAYER LAYER!
