Tickled Pink LO

I love this Close to my Heart paper from their Sweetheart collection and it really inspired this layout, along with the beautiful flowers my hubby got me for Valentine's day :)

I used Tattered Angels glimmer mist after buying a great little starter set at Hobby Lobby. So fun! If I had known how much it would add to everything I sprayed it with, I would've bought it sooner! I also used some star dust stickles for added shimmer. Close to my Heart also has these great epoxy stickers that really added some dimension under the butterfly too.

I got some fun Prima flowers when Paper Panther and I went to the scrapbook expo this weekend, so I sprayed those with glimmer mist too, and then added a jewel brad and some fiber.

It's hard to see in the picture, but I stamped "Tickled" in pink first for a shadow and then in black to make it really stand out. Then I used these versatile alphabet brads on some tags that I made, added an eyelet to match and then popped those up with some dimensionals.

Challenges:
The Paper Variety - 1,2,3 challenge - 1 flower, 2 photos, 3 different trims
Scrapbookaholic by Abby Challenge #2 - anything Spring
Creative Cutter Room - looks like Spring
GAB Challenge Blog - use a favorite technique - stickles! Although, I'm really liking glimmer mist too :)

Baby Page

Time to record the birth of my niece... now that she's 2 yrs old! Well, better late than never, I guess :) I loved this cute little sheep on the Create a Critter cart and thought she was perfect for a baby girl. I used colored, embossed vellum for the bottom border and a paper flower for some additional accents.

Of course, I had to use some Stickles to add a little shimmer to the hair bows :)

I am entering this into Die Cuttin Divas 'Baby Love' challenge and More Than Favors 'Stretch Your Imagination' challenge. I didn't have that cartridge, so here's the next best thing :) Hope you're all having an awesome day!

Surfer Birthday Card

Using My Minds Eye's Breaking Free adventure Series I cut the 12x12 in half to make a 6x6 card. I used Star 1 from George and Basic Shapes and cut several out to layer and make the sun. I used stickles in crystal and frosted lace for the clouds and the wave. The sun and MME surf board are popped out with demensionals. The Birthday Wishes on the surf board is a Karen Fosters rub-on transfer Happy Birthday series.

I am linking up with Celebrate the Occasion and Die Cuttin' Diva's

Have a great day!

Halloween Layout

Ok so I'm a little behind with my scrapbooking, but I just did this Halloween layout with the cute My Mind's Eye paper from the Blackbird line. I used the Cricut to cut out the big circle and then I stamped the witch, cat, & spider - I think I just got the stamp set because he was SO cute! Then I used some twine to attach the star and Stickles in Frayed Burlap to give it some shimmer. They are having a challenge over at the My Mind's Eye blog to do a layout following the sketch so I thought I would give it a shot. Also, at Amanda's Crafts & More, she's doing a layout challenge and anything goes, so I'm entering there too! Have a great day!

Pirate Scrapbook Page video Tutorial

This is a 12x12 page. It started as white cardstock. I used a Mask that I made with my cricut for the Helm (ships steering wheel) With Life is a Beach. I used My Minds Eye paper (we love them here at Purple Peeps) Tons of distress ink, Close To my Heart ink, and Stampin' up ink. The P is grungeboard (another favorite) CLICK HERE for the Video tutorial.
