Turning 40

Turning 40...it never bothered me to jump up from being in my 30's to being in my 40's. Age is only a number and is reflected in how old you feel. And I know that was a few years ago too, but I just got around to scrapbooking it.

For this layout I colored the Colonial White Ric Rac with my Copic Marker. I really like to do this as it saves in supplies ...you only need white or cream embellishments and you can color to match anything you have. I did color both sides of the ribbon to make it a uniform color.

I also took my journalling pen and made faux stitching around the stamped images, journalling and one of the pictures. I think it gives the layout just a little bit more pizazz.

If you are interested in the Copic colors that match Close To My Heart colors let me know and I can email you my color chart.

All supplies are Close To My Heart unless otherwise noted.
