However, the title to this posting refers to my sister's good friend, Corina, who is a FABulous scrapbooker, found-object alterer, and just generally creative person. She lives in the Netherlands and designs for the Dutch paper-crafting company Scrapdelight. She produces wonderful scrapbook pages with a wealth of tactile features, incorporating such hand-crafted details as crochet, embroidery, ribbon flowers, stitching, repurposed objects, and so on. She is also a great photographer, so her blog is a treat to visit. I am always inspired to see her work. You can check out her blog, "No More Sleeping {just scrapping!} HERE. She posts in Dutch, but you will see a Google Translate button on the left border, and can indicate your language of choice. Take a look at the Photography tab at the top, as well; there are some great images of Holland and other locales.
So for this page, I channelled my "inner Corina" and made it as texturally interesting as possible. I used a paper doily for my photo mat, and edged the upper mat with a Martha Stewart lacy border punch; a Fiskar's punch created slots for threading ribbon. I used the Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge to cut the letters for my title--the perforations in them were perfect for the lacy theme.
The grouping of goodies in the lower right corner includes a canvas sticker, lace flower and buttons, all CTMH's Bohemian collection.
The image linking the two photos (my husband and me on a rare night out!) involves a stamp-edge frame cut with the Cricut, the last piece of patterned paper from the Elemental pack I used for the whole album, plus a stamped heart with a Maya Road stick-pin.I made sure to include ephemera from the date (ticket stub) matted on a tag with faux stitching using a Signo Uniball white pen, and more ribbon. Not quite as gorgeous as Corina's work but I was pleased with the overall effect.
Gorgeous page and nice tribute to Corina!
