Scrappin' the Details : Play (all day) with Adornit {Ella Publishing}

Play (all day) with Adornit {Ella Publishing}

I was thrilled when Georgana Hall, asked me to contribute a page for her article for Ella Publishing. The article is called Make it Masculine {Product Formula for instant dude appeal.} My assignment was: stripes + stars + distressed edges. When I saw this, I was relieved! These elements are definitely things I love to do in my scrapbooking.
My page:
Play (all day)

I love, love Adornit's Jamboree Burst Collection, and with the beautiful star artwork, it was perfect for my assignment. I used this adorable snapshot of my son with his toothless smile! (Gosh, he has changed so much in a year!)
I used one of my new embossing folders from Cuttlebug . You can find it {here}. I embossed a 4x6 blue piece of cardstock, and then went over the whole thing with my sanding block. Love that it gave, a cool distress look to the paper.It really lifted the embossed stars off the page!

a detail of the distressing, and layering:

Since, (all day) was part of my title, I stamped the days of the week, to create a border underneath the stripe paper.
I was also happy to know, that my talented friend, Liz Qualman was also contributing to the article too! I love, love her work! She is so inspiring, and her pages are full of bold designs!

It will be hard to pick just one! A great source of inspiration, for such a great value! (I bought a couple myself!) (:
Thanks again to Georgana for the opportunity!!!
Have a Happy Thursday, and thank you for visiting today!
