Laugh Out Loud Layout with Ann Butler Designs

The hubs' sure does love this little girl. She has him wrapped around her little, tiny fingers. She loves her Gramps - and takes every chance she can get to hang out with him.

For this layout I used Ann Butler Crafter's Inks and stamps. These inks are great- they are so opaque, and they have great coverage on fabric, paper, chipboard, and many other surfaces. Since they are a fabric ink, they need to be heat set when using on paper. On the paper strip behind the photo I used the Ann Butler Stamp by Unity: 2: Square, Doily

 I started by coloring a piece of natural colored lace with the Berry Colorbox Crafter's Ink. I used a heat gun to set the ink. Yes, I use an old phone book to stamp/paint/and make messes on. It's FREE and works great!

I used the same Berry ink to color my chipboard title, then heat set.

I inked the edges of my papers using DewDrop VersaMagic Inks from Imagine Crafts. I have always loved the way that it differentiates the different layers of paper and adds so much visual texture to my projects.  I adhered the piece of lace using my SureBonder® Low Temp glue gun.

I used an older Fiskars paper shaper and a LittleB die to punch hearts from coordinating papers, then inked the edges with Petal Pink VersaMagic ink.

I added some die cut stickers from Webster's Pages (I know! From way back in the day!) and Kaisercraft.  My title chipboard is from a Melissa Frances set of chipboard pieces; Creativity.  I added some faux stitching around the edge of the papers using a fine line black pen.
