1- Pure Love

I adore this picture of my kids when they were little, here Xander was 6 1/2 years old and Paola was 2 1/2 years old, they always been affectionate, he is always taking care of his sister and she is very lovely with him.
I worked this page with the Main Kit, EAO and FAO.

2- New Look

The second page is about my new hair cut or new look.  For this page I used the Main Kit, EAO and the FAO.  I used the Zva blings like buttons and with the twine made a loops buttonholes to try to look like a line of pearl buttons like the bridal gowns.

Banner layered circle tutorial

Hi there!   Today I'm going to show you how I made the circle layered with banner in my "Amiga" page with the October ScrapThat kit.
It is easy to make...




1- First, trace the circle 



2- Determine the distance it would have the banners...




3-Cut strips 1 1/2" inches by 2" inches (In solid colours and in some pattern paper,too)



4- Cut one side of the strip in a "V" shape...







5- It should look like this.....



6- For the pattern papers strips  start punching one side of each strip... 



7- It should look like this......






8- Distress all the banner strips





9- Start to gluing the strips around the circle line...the banner goes in the top and the punch strips goes on the bottom...
It should look like this....



10- Once you had glued all the strips you can add more dimension with 3D-dots.



This is the result, you can see the dimension in the next picture...


I hope this inspire you to try it!!
Have fun!
Until next time!
