The January Blog Challenge is posted on the My Mind's Eye Blog. The above sketch is designed by the fabulous Anam Stubbington, and the theme is "New." For this challenge, I created the following page with the Kraft Fun Day Collection. If you have not had a chance to play with this collection, you will fall in love with the texture of the papers. They are a heavier weight, and love the subtle patterns.
New Friends:
Okay, Sammie is not "new". We received him last year during Christmas. However, the relationship between he, and Gabi has definitely blossomed into something "new." He has become so attached to her in the last few months, and will sit on her bed until she returns home from school. As soon, as Gabi walks into the house, she drops her backpack, (much to my dismay), and squeezes him, as if it was for the first time. Now, if she could be a bit better on establishing a walking routine with him, I would be estatic(;
The label on the right hand side is from a new punch I recently purchased! I love the size, and I think you need it, too! I found it here.
details:
Here, I created a single bloom out of the different papers, and layered them on top of vellum. I know, love this paper! I now purchase this by the package, because it has become a staple in my scrapbooking. Vellum, for me, softens the page, and it is so pretty in conjunction with an embossing folder. Definitely a must have!
These banners are found on the chipboard accessory sheet. They are already inked, and ready to be placed onto your page. I did add the tiny heart brads, I found in my stash.
My title was cut using my Cricut Expression, and my favorite cartridge at the moment, Teresa Collins Sophisticated.
In other news, I am excited to share with you, I will be rejoining the Fancy Pants Design Team for another year! So thankful for another year with an amazing manufacturer!
I love creating with their products, and love the new additions they have added this year! One of my favorite items to use on my pages are being introduced, and I love their mini size! So, you will see my work on their blog, and I will share my new projects soon. Thank you Lisa, and Jodi for having me!
Thank YOU for stopping by today, and I hope your day is a wonderful one!
Congrats on another with Fancy Pants!
