Lucy's Beloved String

This adorable photo of Lucy pretty much says it all!

When a wand toy gets "broken" (that's when the toy on the end gets pulled off) 

I usually throw the wand part away, but not this time!  All that's left is a string attached to the wand.  

Seems quite useless, but Lucy proves it otherwise!

She really adores her string!  It's her most favorite toy now >^..^<

I couldn't resist scrapping this iphone photo that I took May 20th.....

Lucy's holding her string with her 'clawsies'.  >^..^<  hee hee

I used Blue Fern Studios paper in the Happy Accident collection that has 

light blue (because of Lucy's eyes) and beige & white (for Lucy's colors).  

The photo is adhered to cardboard for a little raised dimension. 

BFS Doodle Corners chipboard reminds me of string!

I used them to frame Lucy's adorable photo.  

They are heat embossed in BFS Imagine Ink color Starry Night.  WOWOWOW!  

What a perfect match to Lucy's eye color!!

Next I die cut jet black cardstock using the new Sizzix (Tim Holtz) Alpha-numeric script dies for the title.

 I absolutely LOVE them!!!  

The capital letters are 1" and small lowercase ones are 1/2".  

A wonderful size for scrapbooking , card-making, tags, etc.

I kept most of the letters separated, but they are designed to overlap each other 

to form a full script word, as you can see examples of both below.

Cute black & white Baker's Twine from Michael's bargain bin is perfect to zig-zag around the layout edge.

To the upper right of the photo, I heat embossed Blue Fern Studios brick stamp 

in the Essential Textures set with their Imagine Ink color Oatmeal.  

More views of the pretty Wild Orchid Crafts flower clusters I placed on either side of the photo.

I always really appreciate visits and also wish you a very happy week!

Please come again,

Lisa : )
