Want it Win it Wednesday and Layout

I won some Curiosity Corner papers off the Trimcraft website last week and decided to share this layout. www.Trimcraft.com hold a weekly competition where you leave a comment about what product you would like to win.

 this is an old photo of my mum on holiday at Tenby, she was around 10 years old. I found the papers matched the muted tones perfectly.

 I created a pocket to find the journaling, I like to add interactive elements when possible as it makes it a bit more fun. I created the tag by cutting out one of the shapes printed on the paper itself, I added a tab and stamped pull on to it. to make the pocket I taped around the tag so it wouldn't fall inside.

 I have been experimenting with heat embossing and will share some techniques in my next tutorial.

I made my own enamel dots by following this tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4BTOK8Quu4k&list=UU-0Fom6RbIdvZIrbzRa4moQ. heat the oven first and melt the beads at 220 degrees for 12 minutes it varies depending on what beads you are using but I could only get this to work with pony beads.
