Hugs Welcome

I really love "The Cog" die cut from the Industrial Park line by Scrap Within Reach but since I don't have any boys, I wasn't really sure I would get much use out of it.  Then the girls decided to take a mud bath one afternoon and my first cog die cut page was born.  After that, I figured that would probably be it until last night.  I was shuffling around some paper while working on my assignment and this page came to life.  I still can't believe how this die cut works so well with such a feminine page.  I guess this just goes to show that nothing really is as gender specific as one may think.

Supplies:  Paper, Journaling Card, Trim, Stickers & Rub-Ons (Scrap Within Reach), Letters (Prima, Jenni Bowlin), Flower & Pearl Flourishes (Prima), Border Punch (Fiskars), Acrylic Flourish (Magistical Memories), Ticket (Making Memories), Pearls (Kaisercraft)


If you look carefully, you will see an acrylic flourish that forms the base of the flower cluster below the photo.  This beautiful piece is by Magistical Memories and it is the first of their clear pieces that I have worked with.  I really love the intricate design and will definitely use these again.  You can get another view of it in the next shot.  As a side note, if you are interested in getting published they have a great publication compensation incentive.


This month, Scrap Within Reach is holding a sketch contest on the blog.  You have until the end of the month to submit an entry.  Make sure you cruise on over and check it out.  There is a great prize up for grabs that I would love to see one of my blog readers win.  Good luck and have a wonderful day!

Huh... I tried to comment on this earlier and blogger was being weird.

Love how you used that gear shape. It's one of my favorites of their lines - I've used it twice, and have a couple more stashed away because I know I'll want to use it again.

Love the paper wrapped wire curls too. That clear flourish is lovely.
