May Faire

To start this post out, I'd like to mention that THANKS to Fancy Pants Designs, I found a new challenge blog called Scrap and Play. I am entering this layout in their June 1st Challenge #3.

For my fantastic birthday weekend I went to the Virginia Ren Faire. It was FANTASTIC and smaller than the one in Maryland that happens in the fall. I used my Field Trip Kit from Clique Kits to create this layout, and followed along with the scrapbook bingo board at Scrap and play.

This layout actually had a double bingo on it. I used a punch, mist, and chipboard (those gold stars are chipboard and made by Studio Calico). I also have a button and lots of Fancy Pants Design product on this page. Let me know if you are playing along! I had SO MUCH FUN!!

Superstition

So I have been a busy little scrapper lately. This layout is a TWO PAGER :) and I am using a ton of hoarded stash here... there three different thickers and the last three full pages of my Amy Tan Sketchbook line. You can also see a heart cut out from a Cut and Paste 3x4 card and some tiny stickers from the Glitz Design Wild and Free Sticker sheet. Those letters are from Seven Gypsies and the slide frames are from the Basic Grey Capture line. The title I cut out with my Cameo in several sheets of black cardstock. I then layered those together and covered them in Crystal colored Stickles. 

I am also working on different ways to take and edit my photos of my layouts as we've had a ton of cloudy crappy weather lately and I've been kind of unhappy with my photos. Any tips are appreciated. The second page I tried to echo the hand drawn looking border of the first. I LOVED that paper and have been way too intimidated by the frame on it to use it. OH and funny how inspiration happens, but since I made this page and was discussing it with a friend, I'm thinking of another page I want to do to go along with this. Have you dug into your stash lately? There is no project that's not good enough for your precious hoard... it's something I'm working through myself... I'd much rather flip through it in an album than in my storage containers :).

Hugs and happy scrapping!
