There's Always One...
...One more sticker on that sheet, one piece of beautiful paper that I just can't use (or throw out), or in the case of the photo above, one more Easter egg to be hunted down!
It is so hard for me to get rid of a once treasured craft embellishment, even if it is ten or more years old! What a delight to match this background picture that has neared the garbage can countless times with some butterfly stickers obtained so very long ago. The two helped me echo the brilliant beauty of a Spring day reflected in this picture of Rainier outside finding the last of her hidden eggs in the yard.
With a little dash of bling (thanks Dear Friend!) and some more OLD stickers, my layout was almost complete, but seemed a little, Stark. A swipe of Vanilla colored Chalk Ink around the edges softened the dark green background and I knew it was ready to share.
Thanks for following along!

This is the color of a dream come true
Finally I have adhered my pocketful of confetti from the Prince concert!
I don't know why the picture above won't turn the right way, but it doesn't matter how you look at it, the page was a lot of fun to make.
I have kept a somewhat tidy pile of confetti on my crafting table for five months and now it is safely glued down. Reliving the experience of going to see Prince with my mom was not nearly as great as going!
I wanted to tell a lot of the story so I just filled up the white space, or in this case, red space, around my pictures and ephemera, including original ticket stubs. After this photo was uploaded here, I added loads of bling and pearl stick-ons galore in little clusters. Heart shaped red blings on the photos finished 'er up!
The title of this blog post was inspired by a recent idea I read about sorting scrapbook paper. The idea was something along the lines of sorting the paper by emotions, or the feeling of the layout it may be included on. So, what is the color of a dream come true? Apparently for me it is a lot energetic red and fantastic purple, dotted with sparkle and shine!
