My Profile Photo.

I created one 12" x 12" scrapbook page using a photo of myself.
The tags have more information about the photo.
My inspiration was "Moments" by Trudy Sigurdson from the book  "Quick & Easy Scrapbook Styles" by Memory Makers.

Hints & Tips: I traced some of my templates with a permanent marker on opaque flexible plastic cutting board sheets as used for cooking. I got them at a Dollar-store. I punched holes in them with a hole punch and hung them from a shower curtain ring.

I covered my work surface with newspaper and supported the flowers in an egg carton.

I also sprayed the flowers with Perfect Pearls Mist gold. You can also make your own.

Great hint:  “Add a marble if you have one (Dollar Store), this helps with mixing it.  

Shake well before using and spray as needed.”

 

Hint: I scanned the layout from the book, put it on the computer screen, the static electricity made it cling to the screen. I put a photo on top of that to see what it looked like.

Me, now.

I scrap-booked one 12″ x 12″ page using another photo of my Blog Avatar. My inspiration was ”Savta" by Lilac Chang from the Scrapbooks, etc. Better Homes and Gardens magazine  Oct 2004.

The envelope has journaling inside.

I gathered the fabric and secured it with a leather cord.

I painted the letters with silver acrylic paint and then sprayed them with Tsukineko walnut ink. I painted the plastic button with silver nail polish. I broke off the back of the button using pliers, so that it is less bulky.
