My Favorite photo of ME...

Wow- my 6 months as a member of the Design Team here at Frosted Designs- Sketch Along Tuesdays flew by and I enjoyed working with all the sketches each month. But starting in September I have moved over to the Fabulous Fridays team and will be working with a great talented bunch of ladies for the next term. So I'm pretty excited about that-exploring more with some other projects instead of all layouts. Well, onto my layout here for my last sketch #22 by Karin for Sketch Along Tuesdays I just loved working with this one and I found my favorite photo of myself- which there are not to many of those in my stash of photos- so I saved this one for last and it worked so well with this sketch. I spent a little bit of time picking out papers for this one- I wanted the blue to really stand out in the picture.

                                  here is the take we worked with this week Sketch #22 below

I used most papers from K&Company Specialty papers stack and some cream cardstock and Creative Imaginations all inked with Studio G brown ink. I choose the blue background paper because it resembled the shirt I was wearing in the photo so well and really made the pic pop out against the little pattern papers I used. I added 2 ribbons on the bottom which I hand stitched the mother of pearls shells in blue and green too. Around one of the scalloped edges I pierced holes and then stitched in blue thread and added some clear beads to it for some bling.

I then made my own flourishes with black puffy paint and found some flowers from Prima and misc ones in my stash and added white 1/2 pearls to the center. A few cute little bumble bees from K&Company are buzzing around the page.

Made my own chipboard flag banner added some pape to the fronts and stamped with alpha letters by Studio G for my sub title and again added pearls in between each banner and a blue cord for hanging. I used some chipboard letters ( MY) inked them and tied on some thread and a few more embellies.
