Sushi Like a Boss! ~~ LO Love Linky

So a while back,

I did a page starter.....

kinda by accident.

I started it for a LO

and then didn't like it,

so I put it in my CKC this month,

and was determined to use it.

I am linking this to Ashli's Layout Love Linky

primarily because she was the first one I've ever seen

use an actual page starter.  

So here it was a a starter.

Yeah, I know.

Needs help.

I agree.

I loved the hearts

& 

the sewing 

& 

the mists and paints....

but it still needs something else.

AH yes!

That is better.

Some more aqua....

Yes that is much, much better.

So this definitely gave me a place to get going.

Voila!!!

I decided to use a sushi picture from me and the beautiful

Miss A's favorite sushi place.

And because we have been trying to eat better,

we have not been eating sushi,

because of the white rice.

So I am really craving sushi 

right 

about now.

I've already put in a request with the beautiful Miss A,

and she has concurred.

Sushi needs to be eaten,

&

SOON.

Yep,

we're gonna get right on that.....

SOON!

And I am ABSOLUTELY loving

using tissue paper on my LO's.

I sew across the top of it,

then fringe it.

And yes, I fringe it with regular scissors,

and no, sadly I do not have Martha Stewart fringe scissors.

I do have it on my mental scrapbook wishlist.

Oh please tell me you keep one too :)

Anyway.....

I fringed my tissue paper

and then heated it with my heat tool

to curl it up.

Well it wasn't curling very good,

because my fringe was too long,

so I sprayed it with water,

and heated it back up,

and just look at this cuteness.

Love it!

I usually outline my letters,

or 

put polka dots on this 

or 

lines.....

just to make them stand out

ya know.

BUT.....

on this particular LO,

I like it just like this.

Oh 

&

my bow on the "L"?

Yep it was actually a J,

(I was out of L's in this particular set of letters)

that I cut apart and made an L.

SO

I added a sweet little twine bow to hide the line.

Shhhh.....our little secret.

=)

I added this little journaling spot,

and another little bow.

&

called it good.

This page was SO much fun!!

Now excuse me,

while I go dream of eating 

Sushi Like a Boss!  =)

Have a Blessed and  Beautiful,

Crafty Kind of Day ~~
