You Are Charming

You know those moments, when you’re not doing anything special, just going through your normal day and your kids flash you that smile.  You know that smile…the one that is accompanied by the magical twinkle in their eye.  Yeah, I know you know what I mean.  The ones you say “stop, Don’t move…” as you reach for your camera…..to catch the moment before it disappears……
Yeah, that’s the moment that inspired this page.  I just love this picture.  Sometimes, I think the picture and a simple title tells the whole store, and here it did.  You Are Charming.

Supplies:  Echo Park (paper, stickers), American Crafts (cardstock), Studio Calico (veneer chips)
Design Tip:  Outline embellishments to make them standout  I adhered these alphas directly to the page.  They felt lost.  I took a fine tip black pen and outlined then which created an anchor and made them bolder, feeling like they were supposed to be there instead of just a mishap.
Price Per Page:  $$ ($2-$3 MSRP)

I know what you mean but I have a hard time capturing that twinkly-eyed photo op. Love your layout, another one I'll just have to scraplift! Thanks for the tip on outlining the letters to help them stand out, sounds much easier than creating a shadow.
