I remember my first
trip into a scrapbooking store. I
walked in and there were four sections:
paper, stickers, tools, embellishments.
The paper and stickers took up about 80% of
the space with rolls and rolls of stickers
that you could snip off and buy. For
the embellishments, only ribbon, brads,
buttons, and eyelets existed. And for
the tools it was all scissors and cutting
templates. Decorative scissors were
all the rage!
As soon as the
industry started creating new tools and
fabulous embellishments, scrapbookers ran
away from those early stickers and snippers
tipsy with the joy of new things. But
like with all fashions, everything old is
new again and those decorative scissors are
ready to be dusted off and put back to work.

notes:
I used a scalloped ruler I bought at the dollar store to trace and then
hand cut the coordinating papers for this project.

Journaling:
You wore an ear-to-ear grin on your face as you stood, danced,
bounced, and waved while watching the Stars and Motor Cars parade at DisneyWorld. What made it even better was sharing it with your new stuffy!
You made sure he had a good view of the characters as they drove by. Jeremy

Grin by Janice Badger. Digital Supplies: Paper from Naturally Krafty No. 3
by Katie Pertiet (Designer Digitals), Colors by Jesse Edwards (Designer
Digitals), Peek-a-boo Metals by Tracy Ann Designs (Tracy Ann Designs),
Stitching from Puckered Place by Dora's Designs (Scrapstreet.com), Scalloped
template from Wonky Templates Vol. 1 by Lauren Reid (Little Dreamer
Designs), Alpha from Seasalt Alpha by Katie Pertiet (Designer Digitals),
Brads from Brad Bonanza by Pattie Knox (Designer Digitals), Overlay from
12x12 Distressed Edge Overlays No. 7 by Anna Aspnes (Designer Digitals),
Font: Mayfield.
Design note: I wanted to "dress up" the scallops and have them lead
the viewer's eye
down the journaling to the photo strip. So I started with the wonky
scalloped curved template, but wanted the edge of it to be accented with
stitching. To make the scalloped stitching, I took one stitched circle,
sized it to fit, and copied it down the inner edge of the scallops, making
the sure the circles overlapped and were a similar distance from the edge.
I merged the stitched circles into one layer, then erased the left-hand side
of each circle, leaving only the scalloped edge. It was still too plain for
me, so I used the circular marquee to "punch" holes inside the stitched
layer, then put brads in for a bit of glimmer.

notes:
I put the photo collage together on the
computer overlaying the photos and rounding
the corners. After printing I just
needed to cut the outline carefully.
Much less work than doing them all and
layering them by hand.
