My Creative Scrapbook - True Love LO

 I was such a cute baby!  Look at that hair-style.... I even continued this tradition with my own children, little mo-hawks.   This is my last layout/project for the My Creative Scrapbook, Limited Edition Kit for February.  What a wonderful feast of products I got to play with this month.  You can find all kit information 'HERE', and the Limited Edition Kit information 'HERE'. 

My Mother waited a long time for my arrival, she had many losses and often said to me, it was 'true love' when I arrived. 

 The background paper was just too pretty to cut into, so I opted to use it as my base, doing a little mixed media with paints and texture paste - a few splatters of Glimmer Mists, and ink to complete.

The trinket does have words inside, though very hard to photograph with the domed glass. 

 I used some small glass beads to highlight in 'trails' - almost resembling a bead spill, over the whole layout.  I absolutely love this 'look' and you'll no doubt be seeing it a lot more in my work in time to come.  My bead collection is calling my name!  LOL

 Fussy cut elements from other papers in the kit, became flowers - again filled with tiny glass beads.

 Corrugated board and me are best friends, and I adore teaming it with beautiful patterned papers - paint works wonderfully, ink just loves soaking into the edges giving an aged appearance without much effort.  I have more ideas for cardboard.....mmmm

Well that is it for me for this month in my projects/creations for My Creative Scrapbook.  Soon another month will be here, and another kit or two to highlight. 

Happy Creating
