{Pretties Page}

This was tremendously fun; I think those scrapbookers out there have drawn me into their fold. No looking back now!

This page is simple, yet full of fine detail. We played with the Pretties Kit, a fun, fun, fun embellishment kit found on page 144 of your Idea Book & Catalogue. 390 pieces to this kit - that's just 17 cents per piece.

We played with the hat pins and the beads, both pearls and the crystal-looking ones. The tafetta ribbon is also a RICH look, a ribbon that looks very much like silk.

But the really fun part of the class was dying those flowers! Can you see how beautifully those hydrangeas match the Almost Amethyst layout? I had one lady, Judy (see her blog listing ont the left) dye her flowers both yellow and pink, and the result was just stunning.

We also learned how to stamp the Lovely Letters straight! Now that's always a challenge for any stamper, but with a few tips, it's nearly foolproof.

Stamp sets used: Lovely Letters Alphabet set of 30 91.95 and Baroque Motifs set of six 46.95. To order these stamps or any other supplies, please email me at stamphappy@xtra.co.nz.

PS That fat, adorable girl in the photo is now SIX . . . & still adorable.
