In this week's Monday Mini, there's an absence of photographs, but instead, I dove into creating a mini with just a handful of embellishments. It's truly astonishing how a few leftover lace pieces, bits of cotton, and assorted trims can be transformed into something extraordinary.
The paper's background provides an elegant background that perfectly complements the quote I have used. The paper is from an old Basic Grey Collectin. (I can't remember which collection). I'm sure it will come to me later.
There are a few focal points on this mini layout. One is the wooden heart shape painted with Cadence Paint in a delicate baby blue. I also drew some gold hearts inside the heart shape using a gold marker.
The second focal point is the burlap strip and bow with the word 'Extraordinary' and the third focal point is the cluster of various coloured twines and cord with a silver key threaded through some white ribbon.
Lastly, I used a strip of old Rub-ons along the bottom of the page. I have stacks in my stash!
The sentiment I chose on the spur of the moment:
May you go beyond the ordinary steps
and discover extraordinary results,
May you keep on trying to reach for your stars.
May you never forget how wonderful you are
It's a message of encouragement and empowerment, reminding us all that we have the potential to achieve extraordinary things. We must never give up on our dreams and keep working towards achieving them, no matter how challenging the journey may be.
This Monday Mini will be going into my Granddaughter Layla's album.
