Best Friends- Crate Paper's Love Notes

Good afternoon blogging friends!

Today I want to share a layout I made using 

a fabulous new line from Crate Paper- Love Notes 
available at The Crafty Scrapper

 This line is Valentine themed, but the colors are great for other events

as well, so I used mine for a layout about my DD2 and some friends she 

made during her years at summer camp.

 I think that this aqua color is going to be the color of the year- which makes

me SUPER happy! I used my Silhouette to cut the circles background and title.

I sprayed by base paper with Rangers Perfect Pearls - Turquoise.

My die cut paper was heat embossed with Magic Speckle.

The tag, and die cut chipboards are from Crate Paper. Seam binding is 

from The Crafty Scrapper. The super shiny little charm in the corner of the pics

is from Maya Road- of course!

The transparency is American Crafts, all the other embellies are from Crate Paper.

To make my plain paper title stand out, I inked the edges, then smeared

the ink around quite a bit. Then I added some faux stitching around 

the edges to define the letters using my PITT® Artist Pen. 

I am linking up to the following challenges:

Sweet 16 Birthday Party - Sparkle N Sprinkle new stamp set!

Howdy blogging buddies!

I am so happy to say that we have POWER again!

Wow- 36 hours without it, and we were ready for it to come back.

Of course, it came back on the exact second that I unboxed the

brand new, really expensive, non-returnable generator that I had just bought!

Thank you very much!

Today I want to share a project that I made using some fabulous

Sparkle N Sprinkle products including the new stamp set Geraniums

I have used MME papers - I am so totally in love with these two lines!

I also used Prima, Sizzix, EK Success, Tsukineko, Spellbinders, Stampin' Up,

and some random chipboard from my stash.

To coat my chipboard I used a new product from Sparkle N Sprinkle - Magic Speckle.

You can see my tutorial on it here. 

For the edge of my doily I used SNS Brushable Glue and Celestial Glitter

I cut the leaf branches from a Sticker Sheet and then burnished my glitter on.

For the chipboard flowers I painted them then added Cloud Nine Glitter while wet.

Here is a close up of the chipboard with Magic Speckle.

For mu journal spot, I cut with a Spellbinders Label die, then used a complimentary 

ink to stamp my background images. I stamped my sentiment in black next.

To see a list of all supplies used and detailed instructions
please see my Sparkle N Sprinkle Gallery. 

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Are you done with your Christmas Decorating? 

I am covered in glitter- it is everywhere in the house!

I will post a couple of photos tomorrow with some of my

decor. It is taking me forever this year.

May the Flamingos be with you!
