When the mice are away... (page, sketch and video)

When the mice are away at the dream pinball destination, the cat will be shopping at a super scrapbooking store.  I shared my haul from two scrapbooking stores in Detroit a couple of months ago. Here is a page I did about this little part of our vacation.


Since I seldom get to shop in a brick and mortar scrapbooking store, I wanted to commemorate it with a brick background.  It was a great way to use 6x6 paper pads.  Except for my dress, there weren't a lot of specific colors to pull out so I just used happy bright colors.  These flowers from BasicGrey have been in my stash forever.



I didn't have any blue enamel dots.  The video below shares how I improvised.



On the trip, I picked up some Maya Road chipboard frames and used one to frame a small photo of the lobby of the shop.

For more on the project, check out the video at YouTube or here:


Here is the sketch for the 3 photo page:


It was such fun to shop where there was tons of new product and great customer service.  If I lived near Scrappy Chic my budget would be in real trouble- like it isn't already :-)

Thanks for stopping by!
