you remember this post from a week or two ago? i knew it was something i wanted to print out and save on a layout. so last night i decided to do just that.
finding a photo was the hard part … i'm realizing how few photos i have of either him or me. i found this one from last halloween … this was right as we were getting ready to go trick-or-treating. and he'll love this one … because he's wearing his "steelers" jersey. lol! so while this wasn't exactly the layout i planned in my head … i worked with the colors and the photo.
i wanted to use one of the long envelopes from the april KOTM kit … and this was the one that matched the best. and it said "remember this" on it … so i thought it fit quite nicely. but the "remember" part was orange … and that didn't match. i just took a piece of transparency and brushed silver paint on it … and then used some chipboard letters to spell out "remember" right over the original letters. i printed out all my journaling from that blog post … and tucked it inside the envelope.
and the only reason i thought to use the silver paint … was because i had these stars out. last week i was working on an assignment … and had squeezed out too much silver paint for what i was doing. so i just grabbed a few chipboard stars and painted them … knowing i'd use them for something. and i'm just now realizing that i drew those lines on the stars with a blue pen. lol! i guess i need better lighting in here when i'm scrapping … it was late last night and i must have grabbed the wrong pen. i'm totally going over those with a black pen when i'm done typing this! and how cute is that "man" stamp … i just had to use it!
