All Partied Out, but my Warehouse Box is Still Half Full!

Good morning, Flock.   I hope this post finds you all recovering nicely from a wonderful Christmas, and ready to rock 2014!

I have a simple layout to share with you today, full of paper and embellishments from my Flamingo Scraps Combination Warehouse Box.  Did you know that these boxes contain paper and embellishments valued at $150 or more AND are currently on sale for $45 EACH?  These medium flat rate boxes are stuffed to the gills and full of all kinds of amazing stuff!

 

I worked with my staple techniques--a bit of misting & dripping on the background paper (all Pink Paislee, Remarkable), inking the edges of some of the papers, a bit of chalk ink on the Pink Paislee Artisan Elements, some fussy cutting, and lots of layering.

 

To top it off, I added a couple of Fancy Pants Cork Shapes and doodled around the border.

 

Thanks for looking, and I wish you all a wonderful and SAFE New Year's Celebration!

Baby in Fancy Pants

Hiya Flock, Genie here.  I've got another blast-from-the-past layout for you today.

This little cutie is now 10 years old, and about 4" shorter than moi.  She's still that cute, though.  ;)

I started with a sheet of kraft paper.  I love the Fancy Pants Corrugated Paper, and decided to play with its texture a bit more by ripping it.  LOVE!  I have really been into layering lately, and used a few sheets from the Fancy Pants Collecting Moments 6x6 Paper Pad and the coordinating Brag Pad.  I kept on with my ripping theme for one of the lower layer pieces.  I liked how the color tied in with the ripped corrugated (see how I did that?)  ;)  All of the unripped paper edges were inked with a medium gray chalk pad.

(omg.  Would you look at that baby face??)

I add some wood embellishments from Prima, Maya Road, Cosmo Cricket, and some teeny stars from my stash.  I completed the layout with a gorgeous oval frame (Webster's Pages, something you might find in a Flamingo Scraps Combination or Embellishment Warehouse Box!) and some Thickers from my stash.

Thanks for looking, and I'll see you next time!

My Little Love

Hi, Flock, Genie here, today!
I recently received part of a Hey Kid kre8v Kit by Pink Paislee.  It is so much fun!  There are so many cute pieces, and the patterns are so bright and trendy.  It's perfect for my little girls!
I chose a photo of my littlest imp; it's one of my favorites because it just captured her 2-year-old self perfectly.  She's sweet and sassy, and the mischevious little grin says it all.  A complete list of supplies can be found at the end of the post.

I wanted a neutral base because the colors and patterns were so bright, but white, black, and kraft didn't seem right.  I finally found this bluish-grey, and I think it's perfect.  I fussy-cut along a line of circles in one of the sheets of patterned paper and layered cardstock stickers, another fussy-cut border, and some transparent arrow stickers over that.  I didn't like the unrelieved grey, so I splattered a big of gesso on the left of the page.  I love how gesso dries; it's solid white, like paint, but it maintains some dimension.
On the top left, I used more cardstock stickers, one of the cute chipboard pieces, and a cardstock speech bubble.  I wanted a bit more dimension, so I added some stars and arrows from the Wood Charms by Cosmo Cricket and the Cork Shapes (Hearts & Stars, Arrows) by Fancy Pants.
Thanks for looking, and I can't wait to see you next time!
