More of a New Look for my Scrapbook

by Becky Jensen on June 23, 2009

Kind Thought Flourish StenciledI couldn’t leave the scrapbook alone for long, I needed to get the cover finished.  (See yesterday’s post if you have no clue what I’m talking about.)

Today I decided to stencil part of the flourish in each corner in the same style and colors as yesterday.  Once I had that done and at least Lots of Letters Chipboard & Define Your Life Stamp Setmostly dry, I tied double-stitched Chocolate Chip Grosgrain ribbon around the cover and added a few little embellishments. 

For the embellishments I used an “m” from the Lots of Letters Chipboard set and colored it with Night of Navy classic ink.  On an extended tag, cut with the Stampin’ Up! tag punches, I stamped the definition of “memories” from the Define Your Life stamp set.  The tag and M along with three pearls are attached to a hat pin from the Pretties Kit.

So, have I successfully changed the plain Night of Navy cover?  I’m very excited about it!  Now the whole scrapbook truly is my own work of art!
