This is another page from Jake's proposal. We went to dinner and walked around downtown San Antonio earlier in the date. We captured some great memories....

I really love the pictures we took so I had to make the page just as cute!

Favorites:

1. Pom-pom ribbon

2. The paper; so many different types of papers and colors! Love them...

3. Pop up letters, "texas" [p.1] and "tweet" [p.2.]

4. Use of Alamo brochure

5. Page 2; need I say more?!

You know those cute stickers you can buy at Hobby Lobby, Walmart, Michael's etc.? 
Why not save the $3-$6 bucks and make your own?

I took my inspiration for my large bird from my bird paper (right side of my page). I chose similar colors, the blues, in my scrap paper pile and made the bird. 

If your not much of an artist use a pencil and lightly sketch your desired cut out before hand. 

I glued my "beak" down first and then my "feet" and last my bird "body" and "wing." I drew the eye lashes with a skinny black Sharpie.

It turned out great! Plus I got to use scrap paper. 

Waste not, want not, right?




You can see my bird inspiration a little better on my paper to the right.
