Me at 40

One of my goals this year was to start an album about me. This is finally a page for that album! I tried to incorporate as many things that I love to use when scrapping (buttons, sewing, brads, flowers, stamps etc) as I could. The stamped journalling are on foam squares. The butterflies are attached only at the body and wing tips (scrunched for dimension). The dimensional elements were painted brown then stamped with Adorable Backgrounds. Everything is CTMH. Papers: Life Delights level 2; Colonial White cardstock, Sweet Pea cardstock
Stamps used: Playful Flourish, Journalling Jots, Butterfly Kiss, Hodgepodge Alphabet, The Works Alphabet, Delightful Alphabet, Adorable Background and some NEW stamp sets in the upcoming Fall/Winter CTMH catalogue: CIRCLE ABOUND; CODE IT

It does look better IRL and I love it!

  6. I LOVE this. It's something I've always wanted to do, too. I'll be 55 in a couple of weeks - not cool but better than the alternative. LOL. Maybe it's time for that "me" album. Thanks for the inspiration!!
