7-11-12 Sketch

It's Wednesday!  That means a new sketch and new inspiration for you scrapbookers over @ Let's Scrap.

And, here is my take on the sketch:

Taken from our 2010 trip to Amsterdam.
Yes...there are still photos needing a home!

Printing a large format picture is always such a great visual in your scrapbooks.  When turning page after page in your scrapbooks, it is such a nice surprise when you turn the next page and find a huge photo!  I confess that I do not do that enough.  I regularly crop 4" x 6" photos into smaller images (and often just start a page with smaller photos), but upsizing?  Hardly ever.

Here are some "up close" detail shots:

Can you see the glitter?  It really sparkles.

Love to add a few "bumps" to the page to give it some real texture.  I used "pop up" glue dots to add the dimension to the cardstock stickers.

Other Products used:

• All papers & coordinating cardstock stickers are from Authentique:  Genuine Collection
• Pearls are from My Minds Eye:  Lost and Found
• Ribbon unknown (attached with Tim Holtz Tiny Attacher)
• Blue glittered alpha from American Crafts Thickers
• Small navy alpha from Colorbok

Thanks for looking.  Now go and print your own 8 1/2" x 11" photo and get cracking.  You'll love the result.  Trust me.
