My new camera *March Scraptastic Club kit

First I have to say that I LOVE my new camera! Its the smallest lightest DSLR - the Canon SL1. It's got a silent focus and the coolest touch screen ever!  I haven't really learned alot about it yet, but right out of the box it was so great that I haven't had to really try all that hard. I took a photo of it with my old canon and decided it needed to be a layout.

I used the March "It's My Life" kit, add on kit and stamp set from Scraptastic.  This kit is just full of camera and photo themed goodies.

I have added a couple of star sequins in black and attached with a staple.

 

Look at these super cool "It's My Life" stamps!

 

I stamped the meter on a rectangle of vellum and heat embossed with black sparkly embossing powder, then used it under my photo. I also stamped the arrow stamp with the heart circle  on vellum and used the same embossing powder, then cut it out.

 For a nice banner I cut a triangle border strip and then cut fringe up to about 1/8" from the straight edge, this allows you to bend the border easily for a swag shape. After doing this I decided to machine straight stitch along the upper edge but honestly, it would have been much smarter to stitch before cutting the triangles and fringe.
