Self-Portrait....

"Captured Memories" is the sentiment and I am not sure how this turned out a self portrait, but this project had a life of it's own.  I love these Dilly bean images because they are a little quirky.  The Dilly Beans challenge was to use ribbon, and I wanted to try a different route so I punched holes in the card and did "Corset" kind of ribbon tie.  Hope you like it!

This is the layout I used from Sketch N Stash:



You can never have too many tiny clothes pins when you are a carmaker!

Materials used:

Image - Dilly Beans
Polaroid frame - Lawn Fawn
Sentiment - printed from computer
Camera paper - Echo Park "Here & Now" love love love this paper!
Cardstock - Neenah
Coloring - Copics

    Oh my gosh - this is just stunning. Your coloring is phenomenal - I love it. And I love the whole layout, the way you made it like a scrapbook page (self-portrait - hee hee - love it!). So cute! Thanks for joining us at Dilly Beans. :)
