Got A Little Messy

I was really feeling scrappy last night.  A wonderful twist after not having a lot of inspiration lately (the horrible side effects of being tired).  I decided it was time to shake it up a little bit, to get a little messy.  (But just a little – I can’t go full out messy, nope, not me).

Supplies:  Stampin’ Up (paper, cardstock, journal tag, flowers, stickers), American Crafts (Thickers numbers), misc (thread), Kaiser Craft (black cabochon), My Minds Eye (grey rhinestone)

Design Tip:  Focal Point  I used the large flower underneath the main photo to be my focal point.  If you were to draw an imaginary line from the title “@31” to the flower, it leads the eye right through my face in the photo – allowing the subject of the page to be apparent – the photos more than the embellishments.  Creating pages are a 12x12 game of Dot to Dot.

Price Per Page:  $$$$ (just over $6).  Ouch!  This one was a lot for me!!  I rarely do page that have this much associated cost.  However, the supplies were from a prize I won, so it didn’t “hurt” as much.
