Elegant or Funny?"},"content":{"rendered":"

I bought the Decorative Accents Big Shot die because it fit into the swirly\/elegant style that I tend to like.\u00a0 I in visioned elegant scrapbook pages using the Rich Regals colors and elegant pictures.<\/p>\n

This afternoon I cut the accent out of brushed gold cardstock and sat down to come up with a lovely, elegant page.\u00a0 As I sat there messing with the different positions I could place the accent, I ran into a little problem.\u00a0 Almost every way I turned it, all I could picture in my mind were\u00a0funny faces.\u00a0 The whole elegant look just wasn’t coming.\u00a0<\/p>\n

I had to get the funny faces out of my system (in hopes of being able to use it for elegant pages after that!)\u00a0 With the help of Stampin’ Up!s exclusive Tulipe die, I was able to complete the faces and\u00a0here’s what came of it.\u00a0 There are always those times when the kids see the camera and feel the need to “ham it up”.\u00a0 I must admit I often skip over printing those pictures but did have a few on hand.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"decorativeThis is not my “normal” sort of page.\u00a0 I seldom go for the Bold Brights cardstock (and I think this is the first time I’ve ever used Tangerine Tango on a project) or silly sort of designs.\u00a0 Why?\u00a0 I’m not sure!\u00a0 I even debated whether or not\u00a0to share this with you but obviously I decided to.<\/p>\n

After I\u00a0got those silly faces out of my system, I was able to sit down and come up with\u00a0a page that was a little more like I originally in visioned.\u00a0 There are plenty more\u00a0pages I hope to make\u00a0with it but at least I was able to get those faces out so now I can concentrate!<\/p>\n

\"MicahIn case you wonder about the\u00a0gold border, no,\u00a0I wasn’t trying to make it straight.\u00a0\u00a0I just wasn’t trying to make it quite so crooked either!\u00a0 I tore a piece of scrap paper and\u00a0laid it over the Bravo\u00a0Burgundy cardstock.\u00a0\u00a0I was hoping it would give a bit of a wavy effect but now that I see the pages in a picture, I’m not sure it really turned out that\u00a0way.\u00a0 Overall though, the\u00a0layout is doable and I\u00a0hope it will be an inspiration to you!<\/p>\n

If you have not already, be sure to check out my other scrapbook pages simply be clicking on the Scrapbooking Catagory<\/a>here or in the right hand column.<\/p>\n

Please don’t forget, there is a PMS (Pizza, Music and Stamping) night here at my house this Friday 6:30-9:30.\u00a0 An RSVP is not mandatory but would be very helpful.\u00a0 I\u00a0want to make sure I have enough pizza and soda for all of you!\u00a0 The cost is $5.\u00a0 Bring your own projects to work on but you’re welcome to use my stamps, inks and punches.<\/p>\n

Happy stamping!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
