Fun challenge today to be inspired by patterned paper! I watched the first video and took the tips on the colors and patterns from her. But I also was inspired to use stickers for my sentiment. I'm sure I'm not alone here in that I save things and don't use them. Well, I think I'm the worst with alphabet stickers, because I don't want to use up some letters that I'm going to need someday. LOL!
I chose the Argyle pattern first by simply taking a stack of papers, flipping through, and stopping randomly. Then I went into my scrap paper drawer and found some small patterns to coordinate. I wanted an embellished tag, so I had to go hunting for this pack of tags that I knew I had somewhere. I drew the heart and cut out by hand and I'm very proud of myself for successfully drawing a crooked heart. My hearts always end up too symmetrical. Then I went digging into my stickers and fought the urge to "save" these Scrabble stickers. Man, I've had those for a LONG time--they were unopened. So, I arranged the stickers and wrote out the "birthday" and I'm happy with my fun collage. TFL!
