It's hard to explain how a decade can feel like a very long time, and yet that time flew by so very fast! Tonight is my 10 year high school reunion and I'm lucky to be going with my group of high school friends that still stays in touch.
I was inspired to do a layout about my lovely high school friends after we recently all got together for Val's Bachelorette Party.
For this page I used the May Paper Posies kit. I am loving the little birdies on the patterned paper!
And here is a close-up of the embossing I did on the patterned paper. A little extra sparkle on the center of the flowers helps coordinate the background paper to the fun Crate Paper die cuts. In this image, I've embossed the center of the flower in the bottom left corner of the image.
This technique was easier than it looks! I used an embossing pen - mine's by Zig - to color in the center of the flowers I wanted to make sparkle. Then I poured on a little holographic embossing powder, shook off the excess, and used my embossing gun to heat and set the powder. Since it was such a small area to emboss, each one took less than a minute!
The black and white photo was taken 13 years ago, the summer after freshman year - can you believe it?!
