My birthday was last Friday! Oh my birthday...that whole day went by in a blur. I planned a fun party for my friends and asked if everyone could wear wigs! I thought it'd be fun to celebrate the last birthday of my 20's with something fun and crazy.
We took some great group photos of us in our crazy fun colored wigs. Obviously, I really wanted them to stand out. So I took on Jennifer's left-brained Color Challenge from Art + Science and only worked with neutrals.
It was soooo hard! All I wanted to do was add in neon pink! But I refrained. And I think, the page came out the better for it. Instead, I used a lot of black and white elements plus gold and a touch of gray.
Us in those wigs definitely became the focal point!
Lately, I'm absolutely loving digital elements. And
Two Peas is giving us some completely fabulous options! And of course, since black and white has become such a big part of my scrapbooking, I'm loving all of the
October releases!
For this page, I incorporated some fabi
printables and a
freebie die cut from a few months back. (Snag it now!! They're available again for just a short while)
My Cameo cut the freebie die cut perfectly and I used it as a mask with some
Heidi Swapp Gold Lame Color Shine (my favorite!). It didn't mask very well in certain parts, so I drew around the shapes using my black pen--on the white parts--and my
white pen for the darker parts at the bottom.
I also finally got to use my new
Pebbles Alphabet Stamp.
Oh, and about the background paper, I created this background of black and white photo strips in PSE and printed it out on
white orange peel cardstock. All the photos were edited using
Rad Lab. Heck all of my photos are edited using Rad Lab!
I had fun making this page. I had fun this night! Be prepared to see this photo and others like it over and over again. It was just so fun =)
cheers & besos,
