Artisan Award Entry #4

Here's another one of the scrapbook pages I entered for the Artisan Award that I didn't win. :) I still REALLY like this page though. It's a picture of my nephew that I took when we were doing big family photos one day. I wanted to do a boyish page and since I don't have any myself...I thought this was perfect. This page actually has a lot of details going on, but it's a very simplistic page. Here it is!...
SO HANDSOME he is!!! Love this kid! Around that Crushed Curry circle in the top right corner are some fun silver brads...

I love the "manly" accent that adds!

I also love the stars stamped in Basic Gray on the Basic Gray textured cardstock. I did some spritzing with the FABULOUS spritzing tool and my Basic Gray marker. I then took a star Designer brad and altered it a bit. I smooshed it in Real Red craft ink and got the whole thing all inked up. Then I wiped off the ink on the top, so it just stays in the recessed parts. Then I put some clear embossing powder on there and heated it up so it wouldn't smear anywhere. I LOVE the color added on that!...

I used the Top Note in Bashful Blue to add a bit of interest and then also used some Silver Hodgepodge to tie in the silver brads. Once again, I used a Corduroy brad for some more texture. Can I say one more time that I LOVE THOSE THINGS!!!! :) ...

Then here you can see my glossy letters. I cut out the letters using my Simple Letters dies and the Big Shot. Then I put Crystal Effects all over them to give them that 3-D glossy look. LOVE these things! :) ...

I had a ton of fun making this page and hope you enjoy it! Thanks SO MUCH for all your comments/emails on my Artisan projects! You are awesome!!!! And thanks for visiting! :)
