Arghh Matey

What’s better in life than being dressed in pink, wearing and eye patch and hitting a pinata!  Not much for this 5 year old.

Supplies:  Coredinations, Crate Paper (paper), Misc (ribbon), EK Success punches, American Crafts (Thickers alpha), Cosmo Cricket (letters and Glubers adhesive), handmade clay flower

Design Tip:  Use design elements in odd numbers.  The clusters of flowers are all in three.  Three is a much more appealing number to the eye than 2, 4 or other even numbers.

Price Per Page:  $$$ [$3-$4] (despite using handmade polymer clay flowers, I used quite a bit of ribbon in making the ribbon flowers, and the use of Glubers (by Cosmo Cricket) added about $1.25 to the cost of materials).

I LOVE the simplicity of this LO and the fact that you used three border punches on top of each other -- awesome! I also agree on the odd number tip! Those flowers are awesome -- did you make those? Great 2 pager Amanda!

After seeing this LO in the gallery I had to come here and find out what A was doing. Beautiful 2-pager which I admit was a surprise. Meaning the 2-pager was the surprise, not the beauty of the LO.
