Kayuta Lake 2009

Ok, so the pic of this lay out isn't all that great.  I'm going to try to get a better one later on.  This is a pic of my DD at one of our camping trips last year.  It is called Kayuta Lake and it is just inside the Adirondack State Park a little over an hour from home.  This is quintessential Sydney.  She just cracks me up.  What a funny kid.

There are a bunch of hand made goodies going on with this page and pretty much all of it has been touched by distress ink.  I think I need a 12 step group for this LOL!  The flowers were made using a 6 petal flower punch.  The leaves, grass and dragonfly were cut using my cricut and downloaded FREE SVG files.  Gotta love those SVGs.  I also handmade the crystal bling at the top.  Something different for this page is the addition of Sculpey Clay.  I rolled it out and used a template of lace and the baked it.  When it was done I used some paint to antique it so that the detail showed up and then kind of broke off pieces so that it looked tattered.  Kind of works for me.  I think I might try to add some more clay elements to future pages.  Below is a close up of the handmade goodies:

All of the leaves and grass were cut out on cream colored paper and I used distress ink to color them.  I also used a stylus on the small leaves to emboss a center line on the leaves.  I went over this (front and back) a few times so that when I finally inked it, this part was popped up and took more ink then the rest.  You can kind of see it in the pic.
