Whee

Every month, the Creative Imaginations blog posts a new sketch.  I decided to play along this month and here is the page I created.  Brown and blue has always been a favourite colour combination of mine.  I've really been into mixing paper lines these past few weeks.  In this page, Anthology meets Creative Café.  Who would have thought?

Supplies:  Paper (Creative Imaginations), Brads & Bling (Creative Imaginations), Chipboard (Heidi Swapp, Inque Boutique), Stamps (myStamp BOX), Letters (Rose Moka), Crystals (Heidi Swapp), Crepe Paper & Trim (Craft Supply Store), Mica Flakes (Melissa Frances), Beads (?)

Believe it or not, I created the bulk of this pages in the middle of the night. Insomnia has struck or at least it did and I decided to just get up and do something after two hours of tossing and turning. I'm glad I did. I had a super productive hour and actually slept for a couple of hours afterwards.

What you see behind this fantastic chipboard border is ruffled crepe paper in the back, topped with a layer of lace and then a layer of mica flakes.  I think I almost like the mica better than glitter!!  (Don't tell Amanda.)  I added the circle stamps to mirror the background paper and topped them with gems.  You just have to have some sparkle on a snow themed page.

Because I just couldn't stop there, I added the chandelier crystals to the photo and the sprays of beads.  Do you see them tucked behind the snowflake?  Maybe I should take another photo.  These beauties deserve a little spotlight, too.

There you have it.  My latest page.  Hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Have a wonderful day!
