Happy Songs

I did this layout using Tinkering Ink's new Beau Jardin line for a review on Scrap Friends. I initially had a very different idea in mind, but when I tried it out in-real-life, it didn't work. I still love how it turned out though. It is actually a lot cooler than I was thinking. I loved working with these bright and fun papers!


Here are a few close-ups for your perusal.


That mesh stuff is dry-wall tape. I purchased it at Home Depot thanks to a tip from my way creative friend, Becky. I love the extra texture that it adds.

I used alcohol inks on my acrylic title letters.

Journaling: Zoey’s Thanksgiving presentation at Happy Apple was absolutely adorable. She was just the cutest thing singing at the top of her lungs, doing all the hand movements, smiling her precious smile. The whole time she wore her “Princess Zoey” Indian headdress with her crooked pigtails. I think that she was especially enthusiastic because Grammy, Luci, Florin and Joji were there to watch her. She sat (purposefully) right in the center and I loved every second.
