LOVE....

Just talking about drinking more water..... obviously I didn't, that is why I am sick for the past 2 days... 

...............

.....


At PTI Make it Monday #100 this week
Dawn McVey showed us how to package cards with oversized embellishments, there's a video tutorial HERE, check it out!
Out of the three ways, I tried the one using glassine bag, not only I think it is pretty, also because I have a pack of glassine bag bought from Papertrey Ink sometime ago and it is about time to make used of them.

Here's the oversized card that won't fit into the envelope its size



and here's how I packaged it with glassine bag, I like that you can still see the pretty colors of the card

Dream........

Today's layout is based on the sketch from

ScrapAfrica Sketch #13


isn't that lovely?

Here's my take........


that's a picture of me when I was 3 (I think), I placed a piece of transparency from Glitz Design (Vintage Blue Peek-a-boo found HERE) over it


more close-ups....






If you want to get yourself a pack of Glitz Design Vintage Blue Peek-a-boo, here's the link

Usual $.599, NOW - $3.50

on the road again .......
