Together with Gemstone Glue and Glitter Papers

I have been reorganizing my scrap studio and in the process, was strumming through my Robins Nest products. I was taking in all the glitter and came across a few other papers that I needed to try out so the reorganizing went on hold for a few hours.

For this layout, I used a combination of Classified, Daisy Stripe Teal and Glitter Silver on Cream Swirl papers. I wasn't sure at first how I was going to incorporate these three, but then my brain started racing and out came the Dylusions Ink Sprays. Matches from heaven above. Let's take a look

First I spritzed the Classified paper with a combination of teal, London blue and lemon zest Dylusions sprays. Once dry, I cut out 5 circles and created this amazing flower. A few mini Dew Drops from the Handsome Boy grouping to finish off the center of the flower all adhered to the button with Helmar Gemstone Glue.

I also punched out a bunch of butterflies from the misted paper. I added a few Silver Dew Drops to the layout to give it that finishing touch

It is no secret that I Love The Robins Nest rub-ons. They are so beautiful and easy to work with. I added a wonderful quote from the Time Rub-on Sheet. Perfect for this layout of my husband and I. (I think this is my favorite photo on us so you may have seen it before hehe)

Here is the finished layout with all of these wonderful The Robins Nest products. The papers are perfect for distressing and the glitter on the card stock is so beautiful!!!

That is it for me today. I do have a question for all of you though, What is your favorite butterfly punch? I think I need a few new ones hehe

Until next time

Imagine a layout Filled with Blog Candy!!!

It has been a whole week since I posted ACK!! It's funny how sometimes time just flies and suddenly it is the beginning of June. JUNE!!!! Only 6 more weeks til CHA,, 1 1/2 till Fathers Day, 4 till school is out for the Summer. This year is speeding on by Ferrari style. I think I need to take some time today to create. There is something so soothing and relaxing about playing with papers, glue and embellishments.

Speaking of playing with papers, I have a layout to share with you today. This layout uses the Rustic Collection from FabScraps. The colors and images on these papers are beyond scrumptious. Teals, greens and browns are perfect for a little boy layout don't ya think? I used a combination of 002, 003, and 004 papers, paired up with some awesome card stock colors from Bazzill (Safari, Hillary, Avalanche and Real Teal). I got out my trusty Prima edger distresser tool and got to work. The flowers are from the Rustic Paper Flower die cut pad and are super easy to create.

The Imagine chipboard piece is also from Fabscraps. I inked it up with some Quick Quotes inks then used Wow Embossing Powder in Clear to give it a glossy look. Love how this title turned out.

Here is the entire layout. I hope you enjoy.

Well that is it for today. I think I'm going to give away a little box of goodies today. Filled with DewDrops, Chipboard and a few Mini Albums. Leave a comment today and I'll select a winner next week. Let your friends know too.

Until next time

Donna Salazar Guest Designer

Hello Everyone and Happy Day to you all. Today I've got a really exciting post for you with my creations for my Guest Designer Spot for Donna Salazar. I've adored Donnas products for quite some time and when I was asked to be a Guest Designer, I am pretty sure I "Inked". These papers are truly a dream to work with and I hope that my creations inspire you.

I was originally going to create a few cards and an altered project, but after digging in, I just couldn't hold back. Those 3 projects turned into 9!!! Inspiration works like that though doesn't It?? And to say I was inspired by Donnas products would be an understatement.

So here we go. First off the cards I created using the beautiful Spring in Bloom, Antiquities and Artistic Paper lines. The first card uses a little burlap and I've cut out the roses from the Artistic Papers. They are colored with Distress Inks and then a little Fairy Dust Glitter was added for that extra "WOW" (with a name like Fairy Dust, How could a fairy lover resist???)

The second card used the Antiquities collection, that wonderful Artistic Papers and Fairy Dust Glitter again. I jazzed up the one butterfly with a bit of Stickles to make her a little more "unique".

Now onto what was originally, my last project. I used the Crafty Chronicle to create this bangle. Adding some distress ink and Helmar Crackle Medium to really distress it. So So purdy. I really like how this one turned out, however the photos don't do it justice.

Now I couldn't stop there. Next came a set of 5 tags. I used a bunch of tidbits from The Crafty Chronicle. Quotes, images, and goodness abound!!! This first tag is made from the flower images on the first page of Crafty Chronicle and  a good helping of Fairy Dust Glitter. I think it is my favorite...

Now onto the next four. All of these use Antiquities, Spring in Bloom and Crafty Chronicles goodness. Here they are...

Man I love this stuff. It just flows so easily and is truly top notch, when you look at quality. The colors are soft yet grungy, which I happen to LOVE LOVE LOVE, the images are perfect for the fussy cutter in me, and the Glitter is divine!!!

Last, but certainly not least, is my favorite project of all. A 6 x 6 canvas created using bits and pieces from Crafty Chronicle, Antiquities and Spring In Bloom. I also did some stamping with the Fairy Dust Glitter and LOVE the look.

So there you have it. Thank you so so so very much Donna for giving me the opportunity to work with you wonderful paper collections. They are truly stunning!!! If you haven't used Donna Salazar products before, take a leap and try. You will be moved with inspiration I'm  certain.

Thanks for stopping by today. I hope you all have a very crafty day
