cross my heart

So I picked up this Sanctum bracelet from Brighton over the weekend.  Like I needed another cross charm bracelet…but I couldn't resist.  The gift bag and printed tissue paper was the final *sign* that it was meant to be mine.  I cut up the evidence to use on this journal page.

We are using tissue paper on our journal pages for Crusade No. 38 so it was a cinch to begin this spread…layered the thin printed tissue on the left.  Love how layers of roses show through because of the sheerness of the tissue.  Added torn pieces from the gift bag…painted over it all to *make it mine*.  Had a *duh* moment and added the crosses (since that's what was in the bag!)

I love the clanking of all the charms.  Makes me happy.  It reminds me of my Mom and what it would sound like when she wore her charm bracelet.  Plus I just *heart* crosses.

    What a wonderful bracelet. I haven’t been to the Brighton store in a LONG time. They have some of the coolest charm bracelets! I may have to make a trip over to Bloomington one of these days!
    As always, love the evidence pages!!
    Until later

    these bracelets are so fun – do you wear them all at once? I think I like the newest best
    I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE using tissue paper. Really like the way the roses show thru the roses here.

    These are gorgeous bracelets. I too love crosses. Your journal pages are always a pleasure to look at. I adore your play with words. If you have a moment swing by to listen in on an interview of me by Leah at Creative Every Day. I talk about storytelling and collage. It was so much fun!

    Brighton Tissue is the BEST for journaling.
    Let’s say I have made purchases specifically for that paper…at least my husband buys that story 😉

    How did I miss this post earlier? Loooooove it! This has to be my favorite Ruby Tuesday spread so far 🙂 I can’t even say how much I love it, that’s how much I love it! And I might have to look for that bracelet. Too cool for words. What a great score!
