Let everyday sparkle

I love how this latest page I created using the October Kit: Funfetti turned out. I had total fun with it.

My friend and daughter were ‘selfie buddies”. They take tons of photos together. I actually envy them because I couldn’t get a decent selfie with my own daughter when I try. She would always get the phone or wouldn’t smile. lol! But with her “tita ninang Aica”, she’s all smile and behaved! I don’t know what my friend does that makes my daughter stay but I love it when I see them like this.

For my page, my first idea was to create a collage-type of scrapbook page. I printed tons in this series but ended up with this lot only, the photo sizes were too big.

For the background, I brushed different colors of paints and mists. I let each layer dry first before brushing another color. Though I had an accident when splashing black ink. I didn’t notice that it hasn’t dried totally when I adhered my photos so I got smears in some areas. I had two curvy strips for a fun overall movement

I like how the fussy cut balloons made the page more festive, more fun

I tucked in strips of the vellum paper in some photos, cutting the edges using my pinking shears. Then I randomly scattered some of the gold sequins and my page is done.

Thanks for dropping by!
Have a nice day 😉
