Jen here and it's my 20th high school reunion this weekend (and my 38th birthday;) and I thought as a tribute to those good times, I'd create a layout with my senior portrait from *gasp* 1992!
My graduating class started posting photos from our time in high school on our Facebook page and I went digging for "old" photos... I found lots of fun and memorable ones. There was no Facebook or email then... I guess it was a simpler time. Can you imagine what we would have done with that technology?
This layout was fun to make! I started with a woodgrain paper and added VersaMark ink through some punchinella and added WOW! Bright white powder to it. I love this powder... it's so opaque and bright!
Next, I stamped a Basically Bare chipboard frame with VersaMark and used Bronze Metallic on it. I added some more VersaMark and mixed Cotton Candy and Earthtone Olive to create a patina look to the frame.
I needed a bit more bling around the flowers so I used VersaMark again over the flowers and then pressed them into a pile of Angel Wings Embossing Glitter. WOW! This stuff is gorgeous! Sparkle galore!
I hope you enjoyed my blast from the past page! I can't believe it's been 20 years since high school but I can't wait to catch up with my old friends (okay we aren't THAT old!)...

Underneath that fun frame, I layered a canvas page from Basically Bare's Oh So Mini albums! I used a Donna Downey flower stencil with VersaMark and added Bubble Gum to it. It's a bit tricky to emboss on canvas but it can be done... make sure you wipe it with an anti-static powder (I used ScraPerfect pouch on it). I really used a lot of VersaMark too! It picks up the texture of canvas!
