Scrapbook Steals Midweek Mojo Garnet #5 "Granny's Glasses"

So, here is my interpretation of the lay out I created from the scrapbooksteals.com midweek mojo sketch. It was my first one and so much fun! (Sorry for the blurred reflection.) Here is the original sketch.




I used Restoration Collection papers from Crate Paper and fussy cut the doilies, dominoes and the flowers. I then inked all the edges with black ink (this was not a Tim Holtz distress ink, but that is my ink of choice). I "popped" a couple of the flowers out with foam adhesive squares and added adhesive pearls.

On these papers, I used my Martha Stewart "Cherish" around the page punch just on the edges. I LOVE this punch! It's beautiful and versatile. I offset the edge as outlined in the sketch. I finished by adding a little journaling tag. I just typed out a little blurb in MS Word and printed it out on cardstock, adhered it to chipboard, inked the paper with Tim Holtz distress ink in Vintage Photo and the edges with black ink and voila! Whew, that was it! Lol! It isn't hard, just time consuming.

  1. What does it mean to fussy cut, I've seen that term a few times lately and never heard it before.

    1. Fussy cutting is when you cut around the outline of a printed image. It takes time and patience and sometimes you need precision scissors depending on the design, but it really is a neat way to use your designed paper. Hope that helps!
