everyday creative

I'm really doing well on my resolution to do something creative every day. I made this LO a few nights ago using some of my leftovers from January's BIBLIOGRAPHY kit and July's VIA AIRMAIL kit. If you still have Via Airmail, these 2 kits work great together.

I just trimmed all my photos and PP to 2x2" and lined them up on the top 2/3rds of the page, leaving some blank spaces for the Crate Paper background to show through. Then, i traced around each square with a pen and journaled in some of the squares. An idea to note when you use die-cut paper: allow your embellishments and PP overlap the edge then trim it to match the shape of the die cut. Here, I not only trimmed the paper, but I also used a small hole-punch to add the holes to match the rest of the paper.

Supplies: Patterned Paper (Crate Paper, Studio Calico, October Afternoon); Stickers (Making Memories); Chipboard (Sassafras, Basic Grey)
Also, a few of you had asked about the silver Maya Mist on the chat with Maggie Holmes last night. Here's a couple examples of it in use.



And, my best takeaway from the night....I think Maggie and I are the only two people on the planet that like to drive and scrap in silence. Maybe I can add great photographer to that list in the future, too. Here's the wishing.
