In January we went to Hawaii for 12 days. We tried to sample lots of local foods while we where there. These 4 were our ultimate favorites! We still talk about them and they bring back some awesome memories. (Yes that is me eating the Passion Fruit).
I made a flower a while ago using the Presto Patterns DSP, some Vanilla Smooch Spritz and a DSP covered jumbo brad . HERE is Patty Bennett's tutorial on that, I just did not put the daisy behind it and added another layer.
Then part of the tutorial was to put 3 brads on the bottom left hand corner of the cardstock. I did not want just regular brads, as this was Hawaii , after all. So here is what I came up with....
I put a Very Vanilla 5/16" Brad through the middle of the small Filigree Brad. They work great together. I used some of the new Elegant Soiree designer paper, and Pear Pizazz, Crumb Cake, and Mellon Mambo cardstock.
Thanks for looking, I will be back tomorrow with a "Watermellon" page I made featuring James, our Grandson...... Glenda Mollet
OH!| boy... Hi! Glenda. YOur page is gorgeous. I was reading your post: I am trying to make my page to look as my cards. Dear Glenda, being a scrapbooker first, and an cardmaker just lately: it is a whole world different. Remember: scrapbooking is about pictures, pictures are linked to memories. Trying to immortalize memories is so different thant playing with papers & stamps... Also, remember, you say you are a beginner scrapbooker, I'm sure that at the beginning your did not make such a card as the one you made for Magnolia Christmas bloghop..... I hope I am encouraging your to continue, as this page is gorgeous. I can see "Glenda's" style in there: the delicate brads, the choice of colors, they do look like you. Keep on going, you'll find your way. Sorry I took so much space!

Hi Glenda, you did a great job. I have been scrapbooking since I was 4 year olds. My grandmother and I use to beg the hardware store for their old wallpaper sample books, so I could use them for scrapbooking. This was in the early 70's. So imagine that wallpaper!!! I always have viewed scrapbooking as memories of my life. Things I wanted to remember. Some people do it to tell a story about their life. I do it as evidence of my life, and events or times that I loved in my life. Anyho just thought I would share that with you. Hugs, Rea
