Youer Than You

It snowed. Not much, but it DID snow (this was a few weeks ago now, its all melted now). I was soooo excited - had to snap some snow shots of my little man. He was such a good sport - did tons of poses for me :> I ended up antiquing my photos to match the grungy tones in Bo Bunny's Cambridge papers and I love the effect. I added some burlap and lace for texture as well as some faux stitching around my die cut.

I'm only slightly addicted to banners as of late - LOVE them! For my banner here, I used some old fabric and cut out triangle shapes. I then layered with some of Bo Bunny's Newsprint ribbon (also cut into triangles). You can arrange on your page as desired. I love to layer mine or put one at the top and then one at the bottom for balance.


I also love making my own tags - super easy and a great way to embellish 'boy' layouts. For these tags, I simply cut a 'tag' shape out from patterned paper, roughed up the edges a little and then did some faux stitching around the outer rim. To complete, I layered with another piece of patterned paper and cut out a cardstock sticker for the journaling.

Thanks for the visit. We're getting close aren't we.... How many more sleeps?!?!

Designer's Tip: I used faux stitching around the die cut as well as on my handmade tags. I find the white shows up very well with the darker colored patterned papers. I also took one of Bo Bunny's fantastic petals and 'unstitched' it creating a length of lace to which I applied to the outer rim of some of my die cut as well as at the bottom of my page.
