Vintage 8x8 Scrapbook Page

I love to make vintage cards and scrapbook pages, but I don't make them often enough.  Once again, my wonderful mother-in-law gave me some more fantastic pictures last weekend and I couldn't wait to scrap them.  Joyce really takes the best pictures, but she has lots of practice with 10 grandkids.  She is also the person responsible for my bad habit, scrapbooking.  lol  Joyce makes some of the cutest pages ever!!  Ok, so my page tonight is an 8x8 page.  I spritzed the actual page with Log Cabin Smooch Spritz and I sponged everything with Early Espresso Classic Ink.  The tape measure is a piece of Botanical Gazette DSP.  I thought the white was to stark so I brayered it with Crumb Cake Classic Ink.  The tag is stamped with the Sanded stamp.  I also used the crowns from the On Board Mix and Match chipboard.  They were painted with Early Espresso Craft Ink and then I sanded them using the Distressing Kit.  The colors I used were Early Espresso, Crumb Cake and Cherry Cobbler. 



Well, that's it for me.  Hope everyone has a fantastic Friday.  Take Care.
