We often discuss where we get inspiration for our projects. Well, I was listening to music and heard, for the first time in YEARS, "Legs," by ZZ Top. And that, boys and girls, is where these pages came from.
Of course I found an excuse to use my new best friend, the sewing machine (for attaching the lace trim). The background paper is from Stampin' Up, and the legs are from all over the place, but several come from Graphic 45 papers. There's bling and there's embossing too.
The back of this page continues the theme (and provides some lyrics):
The background paper is Stampin' Up again (inked and distressed a bit), and all the images are Graphic 45.
This journal is full of amazing pages, and Miz Marita will see it very soon. It will go to Gina this week, and she will be the last to work in it before it returns home.
Hope you love it as much as I loved working in it my friend!
Stunning. Love the legs theme.
