I really enjoyed putting this page together mostly from scraps. I chose the main image first from this ephemera book I ordered on Amazon over a year ago. Then I went about pulling out pieces from my scraps that spoke to me.
The pink scrap wasn’t long enough but I decided to use it anyway and embrace the imperfection of it. The overall page still measures 7×10. I used layers of organza ribbon, lace harvested from a shirt and a bit of curtain scrap to help with the illusion of a full length page.
I used a bulb pin to attach a pretty vintage button for even more texture and a bit of bling.
I added a ticket cut from scrapbook paper along with a couple other random scraps to my design as well as the postage cancelation sticker. With that I felt I was done and stamped the date. As I was setting up to photograph the page for the blog, I decided it needed a bit more. I found a Tim Holtz butterfly that made me happy. I seem to be all about the butterflies lately.
This may be my last page for “I’ve got a notion”. Time will tell.
I love the lacy elements and that sweet button.
This is beautiful Halle!
WOW!!! What a great page. I like that ephemera book you bought. The image you chose served as the start of a fabulous journal page. Lots of layers and wonderful texture. This is an amazing entry for your theme at AJJ, dear friend.
