Hello, hello! Yesterday I enjoyed a fun crop day with my friend Anya. Our last crop day was last summer so it's been a while. So lovely to chat and craft away together. And it seems that my stash is now rivaling boutique status, as every item she had forgotten or didn't have on hand and asked me about, I had (and then some). Oh dear... At least I can justify using it regularly.
I made two LOs yesterday; wrapping up another class photo.
I finally found some papers that helped to compensate for the green undertones on my last class photo - I off-set the green with some bold magenta and went with a monochromatic scheme to give it some bold impact, what with all of that drab grey back dropping. The ledger paper is actually upside down and the black and white flowers I fussy cut with my awesome new Fiskars finger craft knife from the photo mat paper.
Embellishments included some Heidi Swapp primrose colour spray and stickers from Echo Park's Here and Now collection and Simple Stories' Vintage Bliss.
I love these Amy Tan Wish Thickers - they are so versatile and I've used them on so many projects. I knew I wanted to put the class stats in the box at the bottom but that it wouldn't be enough to fill the space so I cut out some little cameras from one of the EP papers (in an ombre, even) and added some machine stitching to fill the gap.
Final embellishment shot with cute ampersand and glasses.
I'll be back tomorrow to share my second LO from the crop day - I was still tweaking it this morning and I want to make sure it's 'done' before releasing it upon the world.
