Rush Job: Imperfection is Perfect!

Ü I can't stop giggling. This morning, my 4-year-old girl saw the framed page I posted yesterday. She asked me questions about her brother and the train set. But, it wasn't until we got into the truck to go to school, she asked me, "Mommy, where's my pictures?" I wasn't sure what she was talking about... "Like Braddah and the trains. Are you going to make for me, too?" I told her, "Of course!" ... "You're going to have it when I come home from school?!"

"Oh, babes! Rush job is gonna cost you extra!" Ü

I should have known better. When you have more than one child, everything has to be duplicated!

I made her this 12x12 Scrapbook Page using her favorite Stampin' Up! colors and her favorite stamp set. (Yes, I allow my daughter to craft with me! Ü) It's not embellished much, because I rushed it. I still intend on making one with a hula girl theme, so this page won't be in this frame for very long. She'll love it!

Tempting Turqoise Textured Cardstock, Melon Mambo, Pumpkin Pie, Whisper White, Cottage Garden Stamp Set, 5/8" Old Olive Grosgrain Ribbon, 1/4" Whisper White Grosgrain Ribbon, Hodgepodge Hardware- Very Vanilla, 1 3/8" Circle Punch, 1 3/4" Scallop Circle Punch

This is the same 12x12 picture frame from Ben Franklin Crafts, $7 each.

This was not my original layout. I dropped an open ink pad on the page, and I was forced to move things around to cover up the spill Ũ.

One of the greatest things about crafting is that imperfection is perfect. The little smudges of ink, differences in pressure, and uneven lines are all evidences of love's labor.
