June kit
*Antiquities*

I tell ya, this kit is just soooooo
BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!

My first page is based on this month's sketch:

And here's my take on it:

For this page, I stepped out of my comfort zone (Shabby Chic)
because that wouldn't fit this picture.
this is my DH, acting Goofy....
Love his Blue eyes!!!!!!!

These Bo Bunny stickers, came in the kit. I thought this one would be perfect to go as part of my title, which say's:
A Father is someone you look up to, No matter how tall you are,
Hm Hm ....... Totally!!!!
(hence to the picture)

I attached this sticker to a giant mouse trap, (rat trap actually)
which I first painted with Gesso and then inked up with Distress ink.

I added these cute little Tim Holtz paperclips and did some stitching.

My next page is based on SwirlyHues storyboard (which will be revealed tomorrow)

and some close ups:

I mixed in some embellies from last month's kit.

I altered this photo corner, by adding Gesso and Chocolate Dylussions spray ink. After it dried I added black Archival ink with my finger.

I adore all of these Prima flowers, but the one with the danglings..... sigh.... gorgeous!!!!

My 3rd page is about me. I rarely do pages about me, and this picture was sitting in my
*to scrap* folder, for a long time. I simply couldn't find the right papers for it. And when this kit came in....

I kept it very simple. Used some Gesso in various spots and did some hand stitching.

Again... I just love the dangling flowers. The other one, just above the Prima one is made from the wide crinkle ribbon that came in the kit. I cut it in half (lenght wise) and made loops. glued it together in the middle and added another rose, from some rosetrim I have. The paper roses are hand made after a tutorial, Pascale did.
You can find her tutorial on her blog or HERE
That's it from me, so far!
