Go with your heart

Happy Sunday! Today I'm sharing a page that I did a few weeks ago for the "Layer it up" challenge in the Flying Unicorn forum. I forgot that I didn't post it here as well. The challenge was to do a layout with at least six layers, the last layer on the photo.
I used a mix of papers from Prima, Memory Box, and HOTP. I masked the background with gesso, then added a little ultra fine glitter while it was still tacky. I pleated the ribbon on my background with a hot glue gun. I don't know about you, but I'd have a hard time scrapping without my glue gun. It's one of my favorite tools. On the vintage rose paper by HOTP I used the "Cherish" border punch by Martha Stewart. The punch used on the Memory Box paper is "Deco fan" by MS as well. I lightly inked my layers with Tim Holtz "Chipped Sapphire" distress ink.
 
 
Thanks so much for coming by and letting me share with you! I appreciate it!

Our pride and joy

Hello, everyone! Today I'm sharing a layout that I've done for the February challenge at Unique Crafter's Challenge.
The challenge is to use fabric and/or lace on your project. How easy is that!?! I almost always use lace somewhere on my projects. I'm also entering this in the inspiration challenge at Colorful Creations. Here's what I came up with this time...
I used a crochet doily, lace, cheese cloth, and some of my flowers are fabric. The papers are from Pink Paislee "Spring Jubilee" collection. I love the bright, fun colors. I'm sooo ready for spring! I did a little masking using moldeling paste and a mask that I picked up at Home Depot for just a couple of dollars. I love a deal =)
The wood elements are from KaiserCraft. A little gesso here and there.
 The flowers are a mixture of Prima, Petaloo, and some from my stash that I had cut from a few branches that I got from Hobby Lobby.
Thanks so much for coming by and spending some of your Saturday with me! I hope you enjoy the rest of your day!
