Real me lo

This LO was published in September 2010 issue of SNR magazine

This page made Top3 on Scrap it with a song challenge- thanks

Sometimes you have a idea for a page for a very long time - but you don't have a photo/ papers/sketch etc for it. So this idea to do a page " all about me" was very old one (also I did a lo about myself before- but it was with photos of my morning coffee and my damn smoking addicting.. )So this photo from our Independence day gethering with friends was just the right one for this page.

This black huge flower I did for my new tutorial on Pam's Ideas for scrapbookers blog about using chipboards was just perfect here - if you want to know how I did it please go to Pam's great blog on 8/13 and you can do it too in 5 minutes using your old and ugly chipboads

So what do I have here:

2 AC plain cardstocks, 2 Donna Salazar pp cut to stpips, Prima lace, SU and BG ribbons, some Petalloo flowers,some Bazzill white die cuts,AC Thickers , some MM and Prima blings, MM sticker letters , all kind of left over alphas and MM buttons.

As for the techniques:

I used MS flower ribbon punch, hand cut the circles, did some paper piercing, some inking and edge distressing, hand made from old book page flower, stickling and the chipboard flower was done with UTEE, glitter, 3d glue and heat embossing

I also glitteed this Tando creative corner chipboard that fits the empty corner just perfectly.

The journaling says:

I LIVE IN BLACK AND WHITE

BUT I DREAM IN COLOR
