Cool tips from this layout:
I hand cut the white scallop stuff from foam. The white border
dots are the leftovers from when I punched the holes in the
scallops. It's always fun to cut out little details from busy
patterned paper to use as an accent, like I did with this
little bird. Hambly rubons will stick to anything, even foam.
I accented both of my foam stars with rubons. I accented the
journaling in the crossword with colored pencil to help make
it pop out more from the background. Also, when I don't quite
know what to journal, sometimes I make up a silly rhyme

Comments about this layout:
I really like the look of photobooth pictures but there is
no way I can get my boyfriend to go into one with me. So I faked
it! I just formatted the pics into a strip and printed them
out and voila! Fake-o photobooth pictures. Everybody should
try to stamp with bubble wrap. It is so easy and so fun. Just
schmear some paint onto the bubble wrap with a brush and then
flip it onto the page, Press down a little and Poof! I like
that it does not have to be perfect. I cut out the pattern on
the the American Crafts paper so it looked like more of a scallop
detail. Whenever possible I try to use actual scraps on my pages.
I'm thrifty like that. So for example, the bottom border has
the leftovers from when I cut out the BamPop frames as well
as some leftover strips from the BamPop stripe paper that I
had cut for a previous layout. The two black strips that criscross
the AC paper are also scraps.

This one was very different for me because I used some very
bright colors. I loved that basic grey paper though, it was
so easy to work with. I was a little bit inspired by Cinderella..with
this. (In my photo I am wearing a kerchief and my apron and
the lil bam pop guys were like, my three little dwarf friends...
okay, so.... anyway...) I really wanted my photo to kind of
sink in and be surrounded by the paper. So to frame my photo
I used an xacto knife and cut around the buildings of the
cityscape. Then I slid the photo in. Voila, easy photo frame.
Instead of using the letter "o" in the title word
of domestic, I used a jeweled heart. It adds more visual and
emotional oomph. And it is sparkly. We women like sparkly
things. I think it's really cool when you use punctuation
from your alphabets as design elements. Here I used an asterisk
from the felt letters as an accent on top of a foam star as
well as to accent some other places on the page.

As you can see, I was really inspired by the
crosword puzzle on this one.
I typed out my journaling and stuck random numbers in front
of the phrases so it looked like the questions of a crossword.
I also placed the Thickers on white cardstock and then glued
them on the layout as I wanted them to pop more against the
pink background.

With this one I made my own patterned text paper
in Word with a free font called Trashed that I downloaded from
the internet.
In order to mount the button I cut a circle out of foam,
put the pin through the foam and then put a glue dot on the
bottom of the foam. It added a lot more stability and I didn't
have to pierce or bend the paper.
