Just a Couple More Days

Just a couple more days until my first ever CTMH Convention.  I can’t really explain how I feel about going – a little bit of anxiety and excitement all wrapped into one, I guess.  I’m sure it will be fine.  And who wouldn’t be excited about getting a bunch of free crafty stuff?  CTMH always has great products debuting in the Fall/Winter catalog and I will get plenty of crafty time to play with some of the new goodies while I am there.  I’m really looking forward to that part.

Anyways, before I head out of town, I thought I would share one more of the Convention layouts we did.  Here is the sample layout they gave us to follow.



The targeted techniques were:  deleting unneeded photo wells, using text boxes to cover up portions of patterned paper, and cropping My Stickease borders to make ribbon streamers.



I had a tough time trying to stay true to the original paper kit (Lucy) on this one.  Although I have plenty of girly pictures to scrap with, Lucy just isn’t one of my favorites.  So I opted to use Mayberry instead (retired, but available in Studio J).  But outside of that, I was able to keep it pretty close.  I also lucked out that Mayberry had pennants in its Stickease collection – made it easy to piece together the little banners.  Pretty cute, if I so say so myself.
