Scrapbook Sunday #2: Sweet girl on Halloween
I will try to start posting a scrapbook page every Sunday. Right now I still have display stamper images to show off, but hopefully this resolution (is that the right word for it?) will help me motivated to scrapbook more.
This is an 8 1/2″ x 11″ scrapbook page for the Build a Flower tin! It was hard for me to work with the stickers….especially the green and purple ones.
The wavy stripes on the page are painted on with craft refill. I painted the white stripe with the wide watercolor brush and white craft reinker fluid. Once it was dry I added a small stripe of lovely lilac on the outside of the white stripe. I added circles and flowers from Seeing Spots in Lovely Lilac Craft ink over both stripes. I journaled with a Lovely Lilac Journaling marker (I just saw that those were retired. Am I slow or what?) on the bottom of the white stripe.
I also added a few brushstrokes of white underneath the photo to make the title Sweet Smile (stamped with the retired Whimsical Alphabet in Lovely Lilac craft ink).

I can’t believe you don’t scrapbook more with these great pages you pump out!! I’ve been trying pretty hard to scrapbook these days and it has gotten so much easier. I started a scrapbook club and before I knew it 3 had filled up in less than a week - turns out many of my customers want to scrapbook but are scared to as well!
So we’re working on getting some pages done, together! I’ll look forward to scrapbook sundays (no pressure!).

I really like this page, especially the colors. I think we should all challenge you to make something out of purple at least once a month until you get over your purp-o-phobia! *wink* Nice work as usual………..even if you did step out of the box and use something you don’t care for

Beautiful page! I love the way you put a few strokes of white under the purple title, very nice! This is a great resolution to post a new scrapbook page every Sunday and I’m going to try it too…starting next Sunday!
