A Page to Share from the Weekend

Well as you can imagine I am still very excited about my DT position especially as I received my first pizza box yesterday with goodies to work with :0) :0)
I had planned to share this page at the weekend, but on Sunday I spent most of the day in bed with a mother of all migraines, which has been in the background for most of this week as well. I always get my migraine attacks in clusters so hoepfully by the end of this week I should feel my old self again. I certainly hope so I am almost out of medication & it costs a small fortune!!
As my February Studio Calico kit arrived last week, I was very eager to open it & play. The papers had me dreaming up a page long before the package arrived from the US. I adore cupcakes, they just look so pretty all iced & gorgeous. So naturally, they went well with February & Valentines' & that kind of thing.

Materials List;
February kit Bakers Dozen.
Cardstock; Adobe - Bazzill & Vanilla- American Crafts.
Patterned Paper; Reverse side of Simplicity Patterns - Fancy Pants
Section cut & label punched from Life Stories Recipe, My Mind's Eye.
Doily border stamp; Studio Calico
Stitches rub ons- Antique White; Hambly
Delicious Felties; Sassafras
Pearls & Crystals Baby Blanket; Prima
Title
"i love" -Quickutz Moxie, (cut from the fancy pants paper)
"Cupcakes" font Market, Microsoft. (inked in Pixie Dust chalk ink.)
I mixed up my own mist spray using watercolour paint & used a paper doily as a mask. I blotted some of the spray with kitchen roll so a bit of the original colour showed through around the edges in a cloud pattern. I used my McGill 3in file tab punch to add detail to my photo. I matted the photo to a piece of plain white printing paper just to lift it from all the background shaeds of pink.

Yummy page! Must be great to get the boxes of 'goodies' through the door. I always love seeing my parcels from 'Crafty Individuals' on the doormat. Hope you are soon fully well and back in crafting mode. x
