After I experienced
BodyStep over Christmas break, I knew my life would never be complete again if I don't have that class on a regular basis. So I've gone over the top, at least it feels that way sometimes. I can't say it will last, this seven times a week exercising thing. On the other hand, the free drug called endorphin is really addictive!
I created this layout for
Miss Fancy Pants blog. The assignment was to use the Be You rubons. It is true that my absolute most favorite embellishments are rub-ons and stickers because for the first 8 years that I scrapbooked, I did only flat pages. It took a lot of therapy for me to conquer my fear of 3-d embellishments. However, my love for rub-ons and stickers have never waned: if I'm not using them, I'm collecting them. In the case of the Be You rub-ons, I cut up the long strip of 'Be You' and used them as five individual pieces on my page. My page is mostly rectangles and lines, so I decided to create little circles around these rub-on pieces by hand-stitch circles around them. I also cut up the three connecting circle rub-ons and used them as individual pieces on the page. Just a little tip, Fancy Pants rub-ons are opaque, so they cover up the background very well!
Just a couple of close-up shots of the rubon applied and the little hand-stitched circles
That's it for this very fancy day and I hope it is a good one for you! I know what I'll be doing! BodyStep! :)
