Today I am participating in Christel a.k.a. Scrappin’ Sista’s Birthday Swap Blog hop. We’re celebrating Christel’s birthday with her. Each month, she hosts swaps on her blog.
If you’ve arrived from Bonnie’s Blog you are in the right place. If you just dropped by my blog today, we don’t want you to miss out. Go ahead and go to Christel’s Blog to start from the beginning.
Before I share my project, let me just share a little about this amazing woman named Christel! I got to know Christel because she used to be one of our designers here at CookingWithCricut.com.
I have to tell all of you how truly blessed I have been to get to know her and call her friend and sister in Christ. She has no idea how many times her online presence and uplifting ways have blessed my heart! She even shared a “video” once of her singing a worship song!!!! She is a true song bird for the Lord Jesus Christ! Let me tell you that is one anointed voice!
Thank you for joining with us to celebrate her birthday :-)
So now for my project

Here is a shot of the entire layout.

Here is a close up of the left page.

Here is a close up of the right page.

Here is a close up of the little bear by the violin. The violin is actually some clipart that I edited with the roses. I covered the whole thing with some Glossy Accents to give it a shiny and dimensional covering. It just doesn’t show up in the photo too well.

Here is a close up of the title I created and again, I used some clipart covered with Glossy Accents and some Stickles.

The violin on the tag is a smaller version of the same violin by the bear. This one also has Glossy Accents to give it a more dimensional look. It just didn’t photograph too well.

Here is a close up of the full bodied bear. Her dress is made of fabric. Did you see the cute little cameo she is wearing? Plus all the photo mats are sewn.

Here is one more close up of the bear.

Melin,
ReplyDeleteMay I say thank you so much for joining with me to celebrate my birthday! You are a beautiful sister in Christ and I just love you my dear.
Your LO is AMAZING!!! I was floored when I first saw it this morning. I love EVERYTHING about it. In fact, you're not going to believe it but I used to play the violin in high school. Go figure! The one things I probably miss the most second to singing, you included it on the LO. I love all the awesome accents.
Thank you for sharing! Scrappy hugs to you and yours. Love ya Sista!
