<br />
Its time for a new sketch at <a href="http://stickitdown.blogspot.in/2016/05/may-sketch-reveals.html">Stick It Down</a>...<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img height="198" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYTeG2Ovt2gywWbHNfloY-T8f_75JegtCqLLIV6DLSUOxARmo3psdqyffw4prMM7NEWqkKtLNKVzgzill1-K5_Gp70y4dLJ51etSeNMiPCFhafXRf-18lXMEIxWzVWuZC46kWvZXt37Mg/s200/may+single+page.jpg" width="200" /></div>
<br />
I went in a very very different direction this month...<br />
I made a mosaic of small pictures of me and my hubby...<br />
<br />
Let me take you through a pictorial tutorial of the layout...<br />
I used the sheet of tiny pictures that comes when you print photos at CostCo...<br />
I drew a circle on my cardstock...this will be the guideline for my mosaic...<br />
You can choose any shape here<br />

<br />
I cut out all the tiny photos and laid them out face down...<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgKLNxcNJ_CTbN2Q8_efbC8gf7TmqtS8JJRh4AmZmOG6nWgPqDbIR8ao1Sj9LTtW-8eK1uCDSZwxU17Ir3B1aFB0lVDcGgK_k59tZ8n9FH0qdphw7ihkNm1Sk9v4S8qYRoPuSP6p-fUcw/s1600/IMG_5639+%25282%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgKLNxcNJ_CTbN2Q8_efbC8gf7TmqtS8JJRh4AmZmOG6nWgPqDbIR8ao1Sj9LTtW-8eK1uCDSZwxU17Ir3B1aFB0lVDcGgK_k59tZ8n9FH0qdphw7ihkNm1Sk9v4S8qYRoPuSP6p-fUcw/s320/IMG_5639+%25282%2529.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<br />
Then I added double sided tape on all of them...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnLggfY413cJ1nUTQuoIQWs0phZi_y93nZhY9vBOElsYC0bFImSBItu0TOhf5ae_89yPogqscu05YvivezhNT7H0jSAV-tpH5hMSEGrLHjFg4FMlDxHtxp2_q4lwXn4GL-GYS0Z97dwG8/s1600/IMG_5640+%25282%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnLggfY413cJ1nUTQuoIQWs0phZi_y93nZhY9vBOElsYC0bFImSBItu0TOhf5ae_89yPogqscu05YvivezhNT7H0jSAV-tpH5hMSEGrLHjFg4FMlDxHtxp2_q4lwXn4GL-GYS0Z97dwG8/s320/IMG_5640+%25282%2529.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<br />
The next step was to arrange them in the mosaic style around the chipboard alphas...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiybAItQ2cNvaglfAibmcI_ULHzVWgWjv6Bo9IYfixvbugiQBsmGHWIlrHh10FpUQW-GEOb-G6nXIwnwAn0ymdZ1Zd8C_yA98B7ADUzYtSCoXizCN-GJbmMI8qqPLO5HY3xWav9awdHZE/s1600/IMG_5637+%25282%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiybAItQ2cNvaglfAibmcI_ULHzVWgWjv6Bo9IYfixvbugiQBsmGHWIlrHh10FpUQW-GEOb-G6nXIwnwAn0ymdZ1Zd8C_yA98B7ADUzYtSCoXizCN-GJbmMI8qqPLO5HY3xWav9awdHZE/s320/IMG_5637+%25282%2529.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
When I was finally satisfied with the arrangement, I took off the backing of the double sided tape one at a time...The final step was to attach my cardstock to one with this fancy border...<br />
It did take time...but I am loving the end result...<br />

<br />
I worked on canvas for the very first time a few days back and I loved it...<br />

<br />
Its time for a new sketch over at <a href="http://stickitdown.blogspot.in/2016/04/april-single-page-team-reveal.html">Stick-It-Down</a>...<br />
<br />
The sketch I created for this month is a simple one...and I am loving the interpretations of the Design Team...do check their lovely layouts<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
I played with a muted palette for the scrapbook page I made inspired from this sketch...</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I used a lot of stencils in the background with few distress inks..to mute the colours, I covered the diagonal panel with with a printed tissue paper...</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I added a tinyepoxy sticker for the title...I also popped up the photo with foam tape...</div>

<br />
I recently made a journal page...<br />
<br />
Background was done with distress inks and white acrylic paint...used one of my favourite stencils... the Rug stencils by BalzerDesigns from The Crafters Workshop...<br />
Found this image in a magazine...and I just had to add some doodling :D<br />
<br />

I had a lot of fun creating the background...with gesso...gelatos...stencils...distress inks...dylusions...<br />
The flourish is a chipboard piece which was coloured with Distress Stains. I traced around the flourish with a silver paint marker and gave the flourish some highlights with a white gel pen...<br />

For the words, I wrote them on a piece of cardstock with a white gel pen...and inked them with Vintage Photo DI to reduce the black and white contrast. I also covered them with Fevicol(glue) to give them some glossy dimension,,,</div>

<br />
I have been going Mixed Media crazy lately...I am loving the "Just Let Go and CREATE" philosoply...<br />
I am yet to take the leap to create something on canvas...so for the while...I am creating on all the cardboards I have been hoarding...Hoarding come to rescue! ;)<br />
<br />
Started off with this piece of cardboard...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhV1fJHtyr5xQODHL-tfhoy-iQRnVNFa-ImqLItBtT2dN6KbGES7MUfgeyVtS1v_3cCcLYCF__HKLGHuHyrl1ja1LwwLoRPQLKxBn5245HaINmBOa6cdmiTve0Lg5Fpq1I8mb6GBda4sjg/s1600/IMG_5129+%25282%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhV1fJHtyr5xQODHL-tfhoy-iQRnVNFa-ImqLItBtT2dN6KbGES7MUfgeyVtS1v_3cCcLYCF__HKLGHuHyrl1ja1LwwLoRPQLKxBn5245HaINmBOa6cdmiTve0Lg5Fpq1I8mb6GBda4sjg/s320/IMG_5129+%25282%2529.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>

Helloooo everyone,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Sharing a journal page with you today...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
When I am working on a scrapbook page or card, I usually clean off my stencils and inks on journal page...they make such cool and interesting backgrounds...and that is how the background of this page came to be...I cleaned off the gesso from the stencils I used on this page and coloured the page with Dyan Reavely black paint...Finaly I removed some of the paint with a wet wipe so the texture of the gesso comes through...</div>

<br />
Hope you all are having a fantastic new year...working towards your resolutions...making plans for the year ahead...trying out new things...<br />
Its amazing how the start of a new year brings this sense of hope and happiness in everyone...<br />
<br />
With the same hope in my heart...I tried my hand at mixed media...I altered a tag I got when I bought my jeans...Levis and Lee Cooper jeans come with some sturdy tags...so I always save them...<br />
<br />
And now its time for the reveal....tadadada...<br />

I coloured the whole tag with Black Dyan Reavely paint</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The black lace is actually the border of a cardstock...and the silver foil in the background is a crumpled chocolate wrapper coloured a bit with Black Dyan Reavely paint (Gosh...do I love this paint)</div>

<br />
I am back after a Diwali break and its time for another scrapbook page for the <a href="http://stickitdown.blogspot.in/2015/12/december-sketch-reveal.html">Stick-It-Down</a> challenge<br />
<br />
The sketch I created this month a pretty simple one...<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiW2mZA_OpSWSueGBXyX12OETIYQMl1TTvATpHAi3e4YGy8OsCrNrP4hchZhJRZt235gz9Rav7yUYfvUJjHBC_JavmLz8hYL5qmV7uTDtfqupjE41RUHw0JiJF0HTMuTNIUd7Wuexq9VDU/s1600/Single+Page+Nov+or+Dec.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="199" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiW2mZA_OpSWSueGBXyX12OETIYQMl1TTvATpHAi3e4YGy8OsCrNrP4hchZhJRZt235gz9Rav7yUYfvUJjHBC_JavmLz8hYL5qmV7uTDtfqupjE41RUHw0JiJF0HTMuTNIUd7Wuexq9VDU/s200/Single+Page+Nov+or+Dec.jpg" width="200" /></a></div>
<br />
I have a stash of pattern papers I have been hoarding forever...so I decided to finally bring them to some use...I usually dont use pattern papers in my layouts...<br />
<span style="text-align: center;">And being me I added a twist to the page</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijoF6yErj_kfMkCyR2e11lm1j-XhXaWqf0UTn3eOB85PKQM6AiFfy58IhOuSTIJ57vLQaSXUWSuTMNimLwr_n3Gdg2YPDhFaHHSQzDTsqW0-bmvj7S9oqIK5yAhlA41C6nFDp6kwV1LNA/s1600/IMG_4559+%25282%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="392" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijoF6yErj_kfMkCyR2e11lm1j-XhXaWqf0UTn3eOB85PKQM6AiFfy58IhOuSTIJ57vLQaSXUWSuTMNimLwr_n3Gdg2YPDhFaHHSQzDTsqW0-bmvj7S9oqIK5yAhlA41C6nFDp6kwV1LNA/s400/IMG_4559+%25282%2529.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
I added hidden journalling spots to the page...The two flaps at the right and left side open up to reveal journalling spots...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcoxoxElJSnTPuJAaeqCEJhxFl0qYxaj9eVu38qDSIloVfl1anCm9yh6vk12CWkJG8uae8Af23p8QTAAmFVJn5q72bNlOODm3CLyfefqFDPwo32RU6d422eAL4_EWHh8IwNcIcqKyKvJ4/s1600/IMG_4569+%25282%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="342" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcoxoxElJSnTPuJAaeqCEJhxFl0qYxaj9eVu38qDSIloVfl1anCm9yh6vk12CWkJG8uae8Af23p8QTAAmFVJn5q72bNlOODm3CLyfefqFDPwo32RU6d422eAL4_EWHh8IwNcIcqKyKvJ4/s400/IMG_4569+%25282%2529.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
Now onto the details of the layout...<br />
On the flap on the right I wrote the location of this photo multiple times...I think repetition create a great effect.<br />
On the flap on the left I drew a snoflakish doodle...I like how it turned out...<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I wrote the sentiment and coloured it in with silver gel pen and gave a light shadow with a grey marker...</div>

I made a scrapbook page with a simple design this time...I have been wanting to make fresh-looking layouts for some time...I think I have succeeded in it...What do you think? Would love to know your opinions and suggestions<br />
<br />
I am entering this layout in the following challenges:<br />
<br />
Doodle on the left panel + ME + Flowers on the pattern paper -><br />

A few months I came across Mandalas and I have been hooked to them ever since...<br />
So here's a Mandala for Day 2 of my Pattern series<br />

<br />
Art Journaling has become an integral part of my life...it is a place away from the expectations of beauty and perfection from art...a place where I can do my bit of crazy craftiness...<br />
<br />
So...I will be sharing a page from my Art Journal every Friday starting today...<br />

<br />
<b>Details </b>- The horizontal stripes were made 2 ways...one by adding gesso through 2 stencils (Finnabair Bubbles and Balzer Design Rug) and second by stamp with a hand-carved stamp...yes you read it right...this is one of my first hand-carved stamps... Anyways...I coloured them with 3 colours of gelatos...green...lime, butterscotch and chocolate<br />
<br />
I love how the frame turned out...To achieve the texture I coloured it with Vintage Photo DI...then clear embossed with Finnabair Woodgrain stamp and went over it with black Archival Ink...removing the ink from the embossed parts with a paper napkin.<br />
<br />
Also I added some texture on the background with gesso...love the versatility of gesso...<br />

<br />
I made a scrapbook page with kraft as base for the first time today...<br />
<br />
<b><u>The Inspiration</u> </b>-<br />
<br />
<a href="http://stucksketches.blogspot.in/2015/08/august-1-2015-sketch-challenge.html">Stuck?!</a> - Loved the sketch at Stuck this month...the only variations I did was, I moved the top patterned part to the bottom and added script stamping instead of journalling...<br />
<br />
<a href="http://scraparoundtheworld.blogspot.in/2015/08/august-2015-challenge-28-by-jaya.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed:+ScrapAroundTheWorld+(Scrap+Around+The+World)">Scrap Around the World</a> - What I took from the beautiful moodboard this month...is the neutral colours...the beach...travel...arrows from the signboard<br />
<br />
<a href="http://kraftpluschallenges.blogspot.in/2015/08/august-challenge-zentangledoodling.html">Kraft+</a> - The theme this month is to incorporate zentangle in your kraft layout and boy do I love doodling and zentangle...I chose my favourite tangle...Printemps for this...<br />
<br />
<a href="http://stamplorations.blogspot.in/2015/08/stencil-sunday-august-2.html">Stamplorations Mixed Media Challenge</a> - I made a homemade stencil/mask for colouring the bottom part of the page with Distress Inks...<br />

Hello friends,<br />
<br />
We have another single page sketch at <a href="http://stickitdown.blogspot.in/2015/08/august-sketch-reveal.html">Stick-It-Down </a>this month...and guess who created the sketch...yup...its ME....It feels so good to see people create scrapbook pages using these sketches...<br />
Be sure to check out the beautiful pages created by our Design Team ...<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi80Fb1oGgD5WHIWoY1zldP57PfHbF2TnVUmUF5xZzwgy-GmRZvEBFaHXG11RdMTyTPybCRRCriuGC8aOMZKtk8Qka1nnWLzQH6a_QFLP6WEBquSE3s13zHI__0GNOTu5J5dviHaVCKZQw/s1600/Sketch+3+-+Copy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="196" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi80Fb1oGgD5WHIWoY1zldP57PfHbF2TnVUmUF5xZzwgy-GmRZvEBFaHXG11RdMTyTPybCRRCriuGC8aOMZKtk8Qka1nnWLzQH6a_QFLP6WEBquSE3s13zHI__0GNOTu5J5dviHaVCKZQw/s200/Sketch+3+-+Copy.jpg" width="200" /></a></div>
<br />
Now this might sound ridiculous (having created the sketch myself)...but I had a hard time making a scrapbook page from this layout...I did not want to make small tiles for the background...as I have already done <a href="http://mypaperjourneys.blogspot.com/2015/05/sisters.html">here </a>and <a href="http://mypaperjourneys.blogspot.com/2015/05/be-you.html">here</a>...I wanted to do something different...and this is what I ended up with...<br />
I am pretty pleased with the end result... :D<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Now on to the details..I clear embossed a bird stamp multiple times and smooshed Peacock Feathers DI over it...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZ4AZLgm7DgA3tmWHzgBxw2Pf-2uJ5ATSQ_TtXPoEgD_KAukbPVPoXroekzYBX3Q8y4xi91-I_arg0Ws8rJGwLh5X3Hl42KzWPOgiK9R_r_zIDHIZ4kmM4AVWS6Otd1B244BbXDGdBM_w/s1600/IMG_2746+-+Copy.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZ4AZLgm7DgA3tmWHzgBxw2Pf-2uJ5ATSQ_TtXPoEgD_KAukbPVPoXroekzYBX3Q8y4xi91-I_arg0Ws8rJGwLh5X3Hl42KzWPOgiK9R_r_zIDHIZ4kmM4AVWS6Otd1B244BbXDGdBM_w/s320/IMG_2746+-+Copy.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Next I started matting the photos..I have used a Hero Arts Chevron stencil<b> </b>on the matted layers...and I stamped the stamp "fly away" (which really suits the pics :D ) on one of the layers repeatedly...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-zcOvB0nxWgq1CUc6pMOER0xTG_aW08QLIZ74b2xcIA7CV2Apd6OQkcniGU2_LvUHqzUOkJvvkYWFCQ9yuk88dzky09F3kFIyCO-X_RdRi3eQKFSKFcGc_EnHi0NgaEuBmA7DYsDWdjI/s1600/IMG_2747+-+Copy.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-zcOvB0nxWgq1CUc6pMOER0xTG_aW08QLIZ74b2xcIA7CV2Apd6OQkcniGU2_LvUHqzUOkJvvkYWFCQ9yuk88dzky09F3kFIyCO-X_RdRi3eQKFSKFcGc_EnHi0NgaEuBmA7DYsDWdjI/s320/IMG_2747+-+Copy.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
And in the end I made a simple cluster for one of the corners...some DI...some stenciling and some stamping... I love these chipboard Pebbles from Dusty attic...I coloured it black with Archival Ink...so that it matches the layout...Also this way the words are more legible...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
As I am making more pages...I am realising that I like creating simple layouts...meaning less layering...simple clusters...not many colours...emphasis on the photo...<br />

Hello everyone,<br />
<br />
I am posting after a month..woah...thats a looonnggg time...I have been busy in my professional as well personal life...<br />
Its hard to squeeze in time for crafting at such times...<br />
<br />
Well...I have some great news....I am on the Design Team of the awesome scrapbook challenge at <a href="http://stickitdown.blogspot.in/">Stick-it-Down</a>... This is my first ever stint as a DT member...so I am very excited... :D<br />
Check out the sketch for this month's challenge....<br />
(Psst....I created the sketch for the challenge this month...another first ;) )<br />
We have some awesome creations by the talented Design Team...Be sure to check them out...<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img height="190" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxItaBqwfwFr-zJOQtN57RdDIVzMAqjoQCbhiJI1gZ7D6hXuV3ji0MXKVkRdELlzbnqypcTxcJaozOonio6Tp4ECBJUCh8fbQAu-zNmJWepwef4PdIsdL1mhCh_vJZcAYboKS2RrmcIFg/s200/Purvi+July+single+sketch.jpg" width="200" /></div>
<br />
I created a scrapbook page with a black cardstock as a base...This is the first time I have created with a dark background...Oh my...so many firsts in this post :P<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
For the background I took a black cardstock and started drawing rectangles and squares with gelatos...Dont Gelatos look awesome on black cardstock!!??!!...one of the many reasons I love Gelatos...<br />
For the layering papers...I coloured them with the same gelatos and stamped with Archival Ink some stamps and stencils...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
Finally I applied some gesso along the edges of the page with my fingers...I like the effect...<br />

Hello crafty fellas,<br />
<br />
Today I wanna share a page I made with a cute and silly pic of me and my sis...<br />
We took some selfies on my bday and I really wanted to make a page for it...<br />
<br />
The moodboard at <a href="http://scraparoundtheworld.blogspot.in/p/about-us.html">Scrap Around the World</a> gave me a starting point for this page...The girly frolicky mood of the board caught my eye...<br />
<br />
Then I followed clues of the Special Collaboration Case File CC-5 from The <a href="http://csicolorstoriesinspiration.ning.com/forum/topics/special-collaboration-case-file-no-cc-5-case-closes-on-may-31-201">CSI </a>challenge...<br />
Following the clues was so much fun...I have been wanting to take part in the CSI challenge for some time now...And the Collaboration Case File was just perfect for this page...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
I started out by creating a grid of squares and then filled in all the squares with many different things like...doodling....stencilling...stamping...pattern papers....punch cutouts...lettering...<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoo1kDOAeOWxwQBJCMsYsXumBHKOvw_zFGOqxjRfLRQS31DW6fyseouVrqgoDKGqAxEEV9Dzksbft7-s-9qyBn0qDjwXwH81G1PimH7iwfZ1aOSIC1iiTASdW_GznaQLSleHnNW0R1XxU/s1600/IMG_2687+-+Copy.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoo1kDOAeOWxwQBJCMsYsXumBHKOvw_zFGOqxjRfLRQS31DW6fyseouVrqgoDKGqAxEEV9Dzksbft7-s-9qyBn0qDjwXwH81G1PimH7iwfZ1aOSIC1iiTASdW_GznaQLSleHnNW0R1XxU/s320/IMG_2687+-+Copy.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
I added some metal wires and wooden embellishment on the left corner...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh83mtwPk9DHLMtihHLdeOxJCdzSqFSBpBThvu-XdS3pi1zoM6O48ho4Ms7aLtrlOz082oq43vbpmGNFA0PyLqjRDM1A30TFYoR_SDBVwFv8hW8t6T3Mq_oxiHoxRyv2m8VJgPPbVcwdYg/s1600/IMG_2684+-+Copy.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh83mtwPk9DHLMtihHLdeOxJCdzSqFSBpBThvu-XdS3pi1zoM6O48ho4Ms7aLtrlOz082oq43vbpmGNFA0PyLqjRDM1A30TFYoR_SDBVwFv8hW8t6T3Mq_oxiHoxRyv2m8VJgPPbVcwdYg/s320/IMG_2684+-+Copy.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Then added my photos...with some ribbon and these wooden Pebbles by Dusty Attic...<br />
