Scrappin' the Details : Play Date {Girls Paperie} By Margie Romney Aslett

At CHA, one of my favorite lines, was the Girls Paperie by Margie Romney Aslett. I loved the distressed edges, the floral prints, and the soft patterns of this paper collection.This line was perfect for snapshots of my girls, and I was happy to see it at Timeless Treasures! I believe it has sold out twice already, and I was glad to find some of the fantastic embellishments that went with this collection. I had taken a bunch of snapshots of Macie with her doll. She loves them, and everyday there is a new "favorite" doll. I am finally realizing that she is growing so quickly, so I wanted to capture those sweet moments, of being a "girl." I used one of the snapshots, I had taken to create the following layout:
"Play date"

A few details:

I brought in denim fabric onto this page. The paper felt worn in, and distressed, so I decided to create a denim flower. I do not have the right attachment to cut denim on my Cricut, so I simply cut them by hand. As you can see this flower has six different layers. I love what layers can do, to an embellishment! (Of course, you need lots of pop dots, and glue dots!) LOL On the large scallop layer, I used my scallop punch and cut this from natural cardstock. I brushed the entire scallop with Teresa Collins Shimmerz, and it matched this paper line perfectly. I added more detail to the scallop, by piercing holes around the outer edge.

The word "Play" was cut from the font Mary Jane by Quickutz.(Again, I used natural cardstock) I then used the following supplies to finish them:

I first applied a thin coat of Teresa Collins Shimmerz Pearl. I allowed them to dry for a few minutes. It really did not take long for the letters to dry. Then using a sponge dauber, I applied Memento's Rich Cocoa, along the edges, bringing in some of the color to the inside. I find this type of dauber gives me better control in inking my embellishements.

Closeup detail of the borders: The first border is a sticker from the collection, the second border is stamped with the Girls Paperie Stamo Set, and the second is punched from cardstock. (I applied the same technique to this border, as I did the letters.)
One last detail:

This paper line is absolutely fantastic, and I hope to find more time to create with her beautiful lines!
Today, is a short day for my kids at school, so I must go to pick them up soon! Thank you for stopping by today! I hope you have a wonderful weekend!
