Ha HA!!!!!
I LOVE circles and hexagons! I was going through my Pinterest boards the other day and wondering WHY hadn't I used them in a page yet. I was waiting for some kind of template or a patterned paper to "help" me make them. Well to HECK with THAT!
I googled "hexagon template" and found that the quilting community is huge and just as willing to share as us scrapbookers- YAAAY!
Watch out- you might loose me to the sewing on FABRIC set!
Hexagons, grids and circles- siiiigh!! |
I. AM. IN. LOOOOVE!
I think my favorite were the negative die cut kraft tags- check them out in this SNEAK PEAK for my December True Xoxo Girls Challenge page:
I'm also glad I finally used my Lily Bee Memorandum line papers. I LOVE the subtle colors and patterns. I wish I had sprung for the alphas as well but I have so many letter stickers at this point I passed them up- for now. I made 3 pages in one 2 hour sitting! An unprecedented first!
To get these small mist dots I used an expensive mascara brush from way back when. The pin is from Ormolu, the teeny silhouette is from Pink Paislee's Nantucket die cut pack. |
MuChOs SmOoChEs!

caught this just before heading out for the evening - thanks again for all the love :-). I totally agree with you - Lily Bee sketches need to be made into gorgeous layouts and you know what? This is quite possibly my fave page of yours so far - not only have you used my fave pic (of the road and sky - so jealous, need to go to the States to get this kind of photo!), you have taken the sketch and run with it. I love your eye for colours and how everything on your pages are at once subtle and sharp. Also - Ormolu - OMG. Bookmarked!!! x x x
