I've been working on this page for about a week now, just ran out of time! But it turned out great and I'm pleased it's finished. This is a photo of my penpal Christina from Germany. Greg and I met her and her friend Matthias in Heidelberg, Germany in December 2011. It was lovely to meet them especially Christina as I consider her a good friend. I started with mint green cardstock then used my Cricut to cut out rounded corner squares both from some black and white dot paper and some snowflakey paper. I matted the photo onto sparkly blue card and used washi tape to frame the photo. I used my George and Basic Shapes to cut out the front and welded them together in my Cricut Craft Room. I printed my journalling in Publisher and added a cute little clipart stamp. I used the postcard from George and Basic Shapes to cut out the postcard. I added a sticker and went around the font with black gel pen stitches. I also stamped around the world on the bottom right. I kept this one simple but I do love it.
That looks very different to your usual designs, I think it may be the washi tape that makes it look so different framing the photo.
