Vegas Wedding, Helmar and Authentique Papers

I've never been a Mini Album kinda girl. Always thought I didn't have what it took to create them. My brain started working overtime and the ideas started flooding in when I received a few beautiful ones from Basically Bare.

I wanted to create something that would keep some of my wedding memories alive, so I went into uber romance mode and this album was the end result. This book was perfect to hold some of the items that I kept from our Vegas wedding. So here we go....An album all created with a little love from Helmar and Authentique Papers.

First off, filled with the Authentique Papers Collection Uncommon, lace, rhinestones and distress ink. Followed by the pages of the book in order for you to see.
 
page 1- I used Helmar Quick Fix Adhesive Runner for the border strips and Helmar Liquid Scrap Dots for the dimension
 



For the next page, I used a piece of photo wedding negative for the pull. I adhere it together with Helmar 450 Quick Dry and it worked amazingly well!!!


The heart below is a combination of the acrylic Basically Bare heart, a tag, then the chipboard heart for  sturdiness. I added a little Maya Road Velvet flower as well



Our Wedding Vows, plane tickets and our first wedding card from my Father.




And lastly, a favorite love poem of mine to finish off the Wedding Album Mini.I embossed the poem on vellum and used Helmar V2 Vellum Spray. This stuff doesn't show through and really is the best adhesive for Vellum


I'm so glad that I finally created a mini album for our wedding. I love the soft Authentique Papers and the sturdiness that Helmar Adhesives brings to the album. This one will be around for a long time. Thank you so much for stopping in today. I hope that I've inspired you and I would love to hear about your weddings. Leave me a comment and let me know what your fondest wedding moment is. until next time

Let's Go To Vegas lyrics
Hey baby, let's go to Vegas
Kiss the single life good-bye
Hey baby, let's go to Vegas
Bet on love and let it ride

Lyin' on the bank of the river
Stars are dancin', Lord it's hot
Holdin' you is what I live for
I just had a crazy thought

Hey baby, let's go to Vegas
Kiss the single life good-bye
Hey baby, let's go to Vegas
Bet on love and let it ride

We'll find a little wedding chapel
A pair of rings and a preacher too
Underneath the neon steeple
We'll take a gamble and say "I do"

Hey baby, let's go to Vegas
Kiss the single life good-bye
Hey baby, let's go to Vegas
Bet on love and let it ride

Viva Las Vegas, sparklin' lights
Dangerous livin', tumblin' dice
You're my ace in the hole now honey
And I'm your lady luck
Pack a few things and a little money
And put 'em in the truck

Hey baby, let's go to Vegas
Kiss the single life good-bye
Hey baby, let's go to Vegas
Bet on love and let it ride

The Robins Nest Mothers Layouts with Dew Drops

Have you seen the new Classified collection from The Robins Nest. It is full of beautiful patterns, blacks and white and is so versatile. Hey there everyone, I'm here today to share with you a layout I created using some wonderful products from The Robins Nest. I used the Glitter Black and White Border Swirl, Gold Paisley on Black and Parisian Mini Dew Drops.

Firstly, I misted the entire sheet of Glitter Black and White Swirl with Glimmer Mist. Then I added white pen to some of the swirls for a really great look. The Paisleys were cut out and adhered with Helmar 450 Quick Dry Adhesive to really make sure they are not going anywhere.

Here are a few photos for you

 Here is a wonderful close up of the Gold Paisley Papers. This is becoming a top favorite of mine. It also comes in Silver too!!!

 Here you can really see the fussy cutting and the swirls I created with the Parisian Mini Dew Drops

The Robins Nest papers really work beautifully with mists and paints and I love how this one turned out. Take a look at some of the new items at The Robins Nest and try your hand at altering papers today. Thanks so much for stopping in. I hope I've given you a little inspiration.
Until next time

Dancing Ballerina

A little girl has dreams of being so many things. A mermaid, a princess, a ballerina or a bride, each little girl can put on a costume and magically become that dream. Our little girl has many of these magical dreams and when she got her first pair of ballerina slippers, she put them on and started to twirl.

I'm today to share with you a little girls dream and the papers that are preserving that dream. When I received these absolutely stunning papers in my design team both care of Authentique, I think I twirled and danced too. Seeing the magic in each pattern, the beauty in each paper! I knew that this beautiful Uncommon Collection would bring a sweet picture to life.

I used some of my favorite Helmar Adhesives on this layout. The paper was adhered using Helmar Acid Free Glue. Then I used some 450 Quick Dry on the chipboard pieces to really give them hold. The flowers got a little bit of Premium Craft Glue and finally the layout was done.Shall we twirl and take a look?

Aren't those papers simply GORGEOUS!!! I paired them up with some beautiful velvet flowers from Maya Road that were the perfect match.

A little Fab Scraps journal tag was inked up using Worn Lipstick Distress ink and some Fancy Pants alphas to give this dancing layout a title...

It is so important to  live in those magical moments. We as adults often forget the fun we could have if we just put on our dancing shoes and danced.
