Moments...Craft Hoarders Anonymous

Hi guys!  I'm back with a layout I did for Craft Hoarders Anonymous' very first challenge!  Give a click to the title so you can check out this awesome new challenge site.  If you're a scrapbooker or papercrafter then you hoard stuff.  We're all the same and this site is just for us.  You raid your hoard for each challenge, how awesome is that?!

The challenge prompt was, What's your style?  Well, we all know what my groove is, sparkle, glitter, flowers, butterflies and the more the better!  I love lots of layers and distressing, inking and tearing.

I used paper from my stash that I've had for quite a while.  I can't even remember when I got it.  An old school heart punch that I used for the tiny leaves of the flowers by just flipping it so the bottom stuck out :)  I pulled some white tulle out that I  bought from Joann's eons ago and dragged it through Lindy's Stamp Gang mists sprayed on my craft mat.  I did the same with the string around my pic.  A butterfly stencil that I made with transparencies I've had and homemade texture paste to make the butterflies in the top and bottom corners.  My Silks acrylics to paint them and some Lindy's sprayed over.  With a paint brush I dipped it in Lindy's and let it splat in the two corners.  The  butterfly chippie is from Creative Embellishments, and I painted it with Distress crackle paint in picket fence, sprayed it with Lindy's and then glued seed beads in a pink mix.  I saved some bubble wrap that I painted with some white paint and dabbed it around my paper.   All in all this was a stash raid for sure.

Here are the pics -

Scrap Around The World

Hi everyone!  Today I'm sharing my piece made for Scrap Around The World February challenge :)  This is my first time participating.  I really like the challenge here.  It goes by a mood board not a sketch give their name a click to check it out, they're also on my side bar.

As you can see this mood board is filled with yumminess!  I LOVE the ombre` effect.  My daughter did it to my  hair and I love it in sweets such as cakes and candies, and of course make-up.  I was inspired to do my layout on a pic of ombre` macaroons that I saw on a Pinterest board from a gal I follow who has one dedicated just to macaroons!  Check it out -

As soon as I saw the board I knew which paper I was going to use. This is a line from K and Co that's been in my stash for at least four years.  I can't remember the name of the line but you can see the color cascades ombre` style.  I made the flowers with my tim holtz distress flower die and my tiny flower punch as well.  Martha Stewart corner and border punch were employed too.  Ribbon and pearls from my stash, once again nothing bought special :)  Here is a product list -
