Chic bones...;)

I did this quick layout last night inspired by several challenges - the Lollipop Ladies and the fruit salad inspiration, the concepts at Mission to Create, the trims, ribbon and lace challenge at Show us your stuff - and the sudden compulsion to do a layout on me...*LOL* 

I found some photos on my phone taken back in January when I was stuck in a traffic jam...back when I truly wanted to embark on a Project 52 (take weekly self-portraits)....which hasn't exactly panned out. *LOL* The title for the piece - Chic Bones (totally corny I know) was inspired by the fact that I watching Bones while working on the layout! 

I used this plastic mesh frame (from Gauche Alchemy's Wholey Sheet Kit) as a mask and misted with the colours from the patterned paper onto white swiss dots cardstock.

I upcycled one of those twist-and-turn bottle caps - cut petals around, then added some wrinkle ribbon and baker's twine - for a fun handmade embellishment.

Patterned paper: Webster's Pages. Paper doilies. Maya mists. Trims. Ribbon. Lace. Baker's twine. Rub-on.

Excuse me....and a winner!

Happy Thursday friends! :) Today's layout Excuse me features my littlest nephew J. I just love taking his picture. He's always camera-ready. And I haven't taken a bad shot of this cutie! :)

A little fussy cutting with My Little Shoebox papers...

A little button and Stickles action.

Layered title work using stickers and typed journaling (on transparency).

Inspired by the sketch at My Little Shoebox, the concepts at Mission to Create, the candy necklace/circle challenge at The Lollipop Ladies and my fave pastime challenge at TAAFOMFT.
