Clean and Simple

I set aside the gesso and spray inks for this one.  I suppose there's still a bit of texture, with the felt MM letters and, of course, wooden letters.  Oh, and recognize the background? It's the white version of the flocked dots paper.  I think it's from Doodlebug.  Anybody know for sure?  I found it at Archivers.

The paper I used is all Hambly Studios.  I really love the woodgrain overlays.  In fact, I think their woodgrain papers are my absolute favorite scrapbook paper of *all* time.

Mike & Julie 
For embellishments, I cut out a little bicycle from the Hambly bicycles overlay and used a button.  People, this is a big deal.  I'm starting to use embellishments.  :)

Great news- all of the papers are designed and awaiting their press check next week!  I'm pretty excited!  And other great news- I'm getting a new car on Monday!  I spared you the drama of how my car died last week.  It was oh so frustrating and very sad.  And, of course, I was 1.5 hours away from home when it happened.  But anyways… new things are on the horizon!
