Getting some more scrapping done...

Just a quick post to share some more layouts that I have made with my February Counterfeit kit!

Flower Girl: The photo of my beautiful daughter was taken by Churchill photography.

almost everything I used was from my kit: light purple cardstock and silvery patterned paper from SEI, along with pale pink cardstock, pale pink tiny flowers, Jenni Bowlin journaling cards, Making Memories letter stickers,pink tiny pearl strands,pink glitter puffy paint for the "bling" around the title circle. The one thing I added from my stash was the flower ribbon along the center of the layout. I had the Heidi Swapp felt butterflies from my kit along the center of the layout, but I couldn't get it to look the way I wanted, so I scrapped them and put the flower ribbon there. I like the way that looks alot better!

Bridesmaids: a layout with a photo from my sister's wedding this past summer (taken by Churchill Photography). All supplies were from my kit: lavender cardstock, white cardstock, I flicked droplets of my homemade glimmer paint across the layout, mounted the photo on a deep pink cardstock from SEI, added the ZVA bling flourish, the green Prima flower, and tiny white flowers, tying the ones by the title with a sheer lavendar ribbon from my Romance Add-On. The title is a combination of the Making Memories letter stickers and white glitter Thickers. I didn't get the best photos of this layout, but oh well...

Eleven: a layout about my oldest daughter's eleventh birthday, using only supplies from the kit: pink cardstock, Wild Pansy Glazed Bazzill, pink shabby seam binding, glitter white chipboard Thickers, pink primas that I dry brushed with my Homemade Glimmer paint, and one of my Homemade Page Pebbles, along with Prima Say It In Crystals.

Thanks for letting me share with you!

Handsome Guys All In A Row...

My little man, of course, is the handsomest (is that a word?) ;-) The wedding photos were taken by Churchill Photography (aren't they wonderful?). For the layout, I used my February Counterfeit Kit: black cardstock, silver SEI patterned paper, the Grungeboard flourish that I inked with a black Momento ink pad. The journaling tag is the chipboard backing to the pink primas, tied at the top with red shabby seam binding, and layered scrapof the GCD paper ( I used the pearlized back, and an American Crafts Remarks journaling spot, all from my kit. I finished the page off with a piece of an Anna Griffin journaling spot (left over from this layout

), and my Homemade Page Pebble (see how I made them HERE )

I just loved the pocket watch digistamp that I used from Lindsay's Stamp Stuff Steampunk digistamp set. It's just so perfectly vintage and masculine, and it can be resized to whatever size you like, so it's a great image for a guy's birthday card! Thanks for looking!

How to Make Decorative Page Pebbles...A Quick Tutorial

This is what I woke up to this morning...isn't it pretty? Anyway, I thought I would share a quick tutorial on how to make your own decorative page pebbles. Here is an example of page pebbles from Prima:

And here are mine:

It only took a few easy steps to make them!

1. Gather your supplies. I used some old leftover Making Memories Page Pebbles, but if you don't have those, you can use Glossy Accents. Just be aware that the Page Pebbles sometimes yellow with age-that doesn't bother me, because it kind of adds to the vintage/aged look. I also used free Vintage Sheet music from Lindsay's Stamp Stuff, Steampunk and Posh and Trendy digistamps, and Harlequin digipaper from Lindsay's Stamp Stuff Bold Black And White Collection of digipapers, along with other various scraps of patterned paper with small prints (it's a great way to use up those small scraps you just can't bear to throw away!).

2. Leave your pebbles on the plastic backing and trim around with fine tipped scissors.
3. Trace arount the circle or oval with a pencil and cut with your fine tipped scissors on the marks(don't worry if it's not perfect, we'll fix it in a minute). Then you can ink or chalk your circles before adhering the pebbles if you want, I did with some of mine. Adhere the pebbles and trim any excess, using the pebbles as your guide for your scissors (don't be scared, it's easy!)

4. Voila! Page Pebbles-and you can customize them how you like!
