I got inspired to use some new products that were SO GENEROUSLY sent to me recently. The products are for an upcoming manufacturer's cross promotion that will be happening soon, but I also wanted to use them just for fun!
As for my title...I'm not sure I exactly executed what I had in mind. It's a bit sloppy. Originally I planned to use letter stickers, but had a sudden change of heart & decided to use some of my new twine. I hand-wrote my title in pencil & then covered my lines in Beacon's 3-in-1 Craft Glue... just a couple letters at a time because this adhesive dries quickly. Love that! Then I covered my glue lines with my Maraschino twine from The Twinery and dotted my "i's" with tiny Want 2 Scrap red pearls (also using some of the bigger sized pearls for my flowers)...
Bryn (aka. my best & worst critic) said she loved my title. I said I thought it looked like a Kindergartener did it. No offense, of course, to all the Kindergarteners of the world...
Oh well... 2 points for trying something new. Right?
I used some of my new paper + chipboard pieces from the Dear Lizzy Neapolitan collection... so sweet & girly! And although that collection offers a piece of paper with layered ruffled crepe paper on it, I decided to make my own. Pink crepe paper + machine stitching = a cheap substitute. It's an easy little technique that's SO last year, but hey... Bryn was impressed!
It's MONDAY! Time to teach Zumba! Best way to start the week, if I do say so myself! ;-)
Very girly and cute! Love it! :)
