Heather's May Sugar kit reveal

I had been WAITING for this kit! These releases from Studio Calico and Crate Paper go so well together, I want to order another one! Be sure to mark your calendar for May 5th, when the new kits go on sale. :) So many great boy colors were in this kit. I rarely use pink in my son's book, but I like the pop that it gives this page...

I used almost every patterned paper in this layout with a picture from my parents's wedding. I was inspired by this layout from Susan Weinroth and used 30 hearts to represent their 30 years of marriage.

I wanted to feature the fab patterns again on this double layout, but there are so many awesome embellishments, that I had to work them in, too.

Lastly, I made this mini gratitude journal for my goddaughter with a Jenni Bowlin circle album. It's adorable, just like her.

Stay tuned this week for more reveals!

Challenge # 8 ~ Fabric

One of the things I love to do to my layouts is add a little extra texture. One of the easiest ways to do this is to add some fabric. I have been known to collect pieces of fabric from my daughters clothes and even their toys. I have doilies that I have used on layouts and projects that my Grandmother left me.


On the following layout I used some sheer sparkle fabric that I saved from Paige's Cinderella doll. It is so delicate and pretty and I just knew I had to use it with the Crate papers. These papers are also so elegant and pretty. I used some of the add on Glitter Die Cuts. The flower die cut on the right actually hangs off of the edge but I lost some of it on the scan.


I used a great family photo a friends of mine took last fall. I loved how it seems perfect suited with the Crate and the fabric.



Challenge #8:

I would like to see you use some fabric on a layout or a card. Please email your creation to me at thynner5@yahoo.ca and put Scrapdango Blog Challenge in the subject line. You will earn a ballot for the Maya Mist Duo Pack.

Challenge # 7 ~ Notebook

It is time for my next reveal and a challenge!!!

You have made a cute Post it Note Holder now I would like for you to make a Notebook. These papers are so pretty and elegant that I just had to make an altered journal. I bought a Composition Book for $1.99 and I grabbed my Crate Sugar Kit.

I cut the main paper to cover the front of the journal and adhered it. I then picked out one of the wonderful, glitter borders and adhered it along the left side to cover the "seam" to make it look prettier. I used my Chestnut Roan ink and inked the Maya Road letters and spelled out the word "Notes". Next I picked some of the cool Glitter Die Cuts and adhered them on the cover. I wanted the one flower to hang off the side a little. I love to do this!
