Unique Boutique

Terry McAuliffe

Jewelry in January

This month I took a few wonderful antiques off the shelves of the Boutique and even highlighted a few of my favorite pieces.

I adore the antique finishes, the warm richness of the textures, and, of course, the bling.  I have several different takes on this piece this month.  The things I have to share this month range from layouts to altered items; from very classic to very trendy.  I’m thrilled to share some of the great things the girls submitted this month.   What inspires you?

 

Design note: When I looked at the inspiration piece, what jumped out at me was the word "classic" so I started my page with a black and white portrait of my daughter. Next, I took a classic block layout style and mixed in some very traditional patterned papers. To mix in a touch of shine, I used clear elements with paint and a few gems.

Design note:

I immediately thought of treasure when I saw the inspiration photos. That got turned into the saying "what a treasure" or "what a little gem"! I decided to do a digital card that could be printed out for a friend's birthday. The rich colors of the papers fulfilled the treasure and the bling helps convey the sentiments!

Gem of a Card By Katey Green.  Digital Supplies: Papers by Catherina Oetling from Oriental Touch Papers, Heart and Gemstones from Betsy Tuma Blingy Things, Fonts: Gastada, Vespasian.

 

Design note: 

When I saw all the bling I knew I had to use a photo of my daughter, but I wanted something a little different. After making a mini for my secret Santa I had an idea: use a piece of the acrylic album for the background to a mini layout. I chose the papers to coordinate with her outfit, as it was her half birthday (6mos) and added the bling to the scallops. At this point it can hang since I've added the ribbon but I can always add it back into the album - if I ever get it started.
