Surprise! It's your birthstone...

27th August 2008

Bazzill Basics paper company have a new range of "bling" on the market! We will use this cardstock range as the basis of a page all about you. We will use a "She" quote by Kobi Yamada as the journaling and fun embelishments to make the page extra special for you. The page can also be adapted to suit a male or a child if you wish!



Supplies needed:
Bazzill Bling birthstone cardstock (available on the night).
One piece of cardstock or patterned paper with a shaped edge (to be cut down to size).
One piece of patterned paper for a background.
One piece of patterned paper to make bracketts.
Ink to define the edges of your bracketts.
The letters "SHE" for your title (or "HE" if you are doing a masculine page).
Two photos EXACTLY THE SAME in 4" x 3" (portrait orientation).
A range of embelishments to complement your page (I used paper and felt flowers, clear acetate butterflies and flowers with kindy glitz on them, buttons and large glitter brads). For a masculine page you could use stars and circles with buttons, brads and eyelets.
Gel pen in a colour to complement your page, for journaling.
Embroidery thread and a needle.
Mat pack if you have one.
Hole piercer.
Foam tape to raise your photo.
Sandpaper.
12" x 12" Mijemoo push pad if you have one.

I will bring journaling stamps and a couple of neutral inks to stamp the pages ready to journal on.

Techniques used:
Sanding, hand cutting, inking, hand stitching, stamping, hand written journaling, double mounting of photos.
