June Mini Page Swap

I did a mini page swap, hosted on Keep on Scrappin and here's my page.  She does a mini page swap every month. Each person had to sign up for a different design paper from the collection. This month's paper collection is from Graphic 45, Le Romantique. For my page, I used the design paper My Beloved:
                                                                                                                           

 

The picture on the left is the front page-I distress inked the edges with vintage photo and antique linen. Then glimmer misted with Wheatfields. I punched out the tags using my Marvy punch and inked the edges with Vintage Photo distress ink. The paper for the top tag is part of the My Beloved design paper.  The bottom tag I stamped a background stamp on ivory cardstock and then glue gunned the rose ribbon on top. Back of the tags are stamped for journaling,

I made the pocket by taking a piece of brown cardstock and border punched one side. I weaved an ivory satin ribbon by simply punching holes along the side and then adhered some pearls between the ribbon. This idea I got from Gabrielle on her blog  Such a pretty mess.  She's so awesome!!

The page on the right is the back side of the mini page.  I inked the edge with Walnut Stain Distress Ink and misted with Wheatfields.  I made a corner pocket using the pattern paper-punched the edge with a border punch and inked the sides with Walnut Stain ink.  Then I added some prima flowers on top and embellished the centers.  The middle prima I misted with Irridecent Gold and the rosette with Wild Currant by using a paint brush.  It gives it a dark, intense color. I made the swirl by dotting it with liquid pearl and glued a rhinestone in the center.

My New Scrap Table

I finally got my new scrap table from Ikea on Sunday!!!  This is what it looks like....the Varde Base Cabinet:

The table is heavier than it looks!  But my goodness, it's so worth the weight and the wait! lol 
I've been searching for the perfect table and found this a few weeks ago.  After browsing through the store, it fits what I was searching for.  So, we went home and made sure we have the room for it.  And now, it looks awesome-woohoo!!  We actually use the room as her scraproom/his computer room.  My hubby plays his online computer game, World of Warcraft (aka W.O.W.) while I scrap.  What a great way to spend some quality time, right?! lol
The table comes up to 35 inches tall, 70 inches long, and 25 inches deep.  The table is the perfect height for me because I prefer to create standing up.  Now, I need the right lamp for my table....any suggestions?
I'll post some pictures of my scrap space once I get things organized.
