A Little
Shimmer
 Janice
Badger
|
 |
A little shake, a
little shine, a little shimmer. What
do these three items have in common?
They catch your eye and draw attention to
them and everything near them. We're
not talking in-your-face bling, here; more a
subtle glint that attracts you to a certain
portion of the page, sometimes without
your even realizing it.

note:
I reduced the saturation of the photos a
little to make the colors match the
patterned paper. I put an extra photo of her
Cinderella dress on a tag (made from the
same paper) and tucked the tag underneath
the large photo. My daughter is wearing a
red hairclip, which is distracting for this
page, so I placed a blue butterfly on top of
the photo to cover up the hairclip. I added
the same kind of butterflies to the edge of
the tag and on the strip at the bottom, to
create a visual triangle. I used a knife to
cut around the edge of the flower on the
patterned paper and slide the photo and
paper strip underneath.

Design
note:
When I had this picture developed I just
knew it needed a special page. I wanted to
draw attention to the sun shining on my sons
face. I placed the title above the picture
to make it appear as though it was rays of
sunshine shinning down on him. I tore a
circle out of the floral patterned paper and
added the bling to create a unique
embellishment. I then lightly sanded and
added the sticker next to add to my
"cluster" of embellishments, leaving
negative space on most of the page. Then I
used the square bling as my journaling
block.

Morning by Leigh Bossinger. Supplies:
My Little Sweetheart {Girl} Digital Kit by

Journaling:
“Welcome every morning with a smile. Look on
the new day as another special gift from
your Creator, another golden opportunity to
complete what you were unable to finish
yesterday. Be a self-starter. Let your first
hour set the theme of success and positive
action that is certain to echo through your
entire day. Today will never happen again.
Don't waste it with a false start or no
start at all. You were not born to fail.” by
Oq Mandino.
