Isn't it difficult to scrap for teens, tweens, and whatchamacallits? Yeah. Sigh. Spoken by the mother of a 13 year old.
 
My daughter went to Disneyland for Girl Scouts and I thought TWINE is a great way to make a cute book for her about her trip. Twine and neon. Yay. Yay? 
 
 
I am not sure I like the whole 80's thing coming back BUT it was pretty easy to make custom embellishments with my Epiphany Crafts shape tools to match the Heidi Swapp Neon stickers I got for the book. And black and white are always a winner!!!!!!
 
 
I made a little video showing how I did all that I did — enjoy! I also added gorgeous blinged out Connie Crystals to the spine of the book and a couple small Want2Scrapcrystals to make mickey heads on my Square 25 Epiphany Crafts charms. Easy peasy!

    Jennifer, I’m with you about the return of those fluorescent colors, but you certainly did the right thing pairing them with black and white! What a great, hip look you got and the swirly twine Mickey head and all the bling are sure to make your teen happy! TFS!

    The Mickey silhouette looks great with the swirly twine, and I love your tip of using that tool to help arrange the twine. I’m sure your ‘tween loved her new album, altho she might not let you know it…
