Love Getting New Papers!!

I bought some cute new papers at the LSS last week...and believe it or not, I am actually using them on my pages and not hoarding them!!  :)  Some of my favorites are the adorable papers by Bella Blvd!  The ones I used for this page are from the Socialite collection, which is geared toward a New Year's theme, but I thought they would be really cute for a Summer layout also.  I based this page on the Sketch Along Tuesday sketch #20 from Frosted Designs, which was a little daunting this time, because there was a lot of layering behind the photo!!  Sometimes I find layering very challenging and it's a 50/50 chance that I like the end result, but I am pretty happy with how it turned out on this one!



I also did a technique for one of the challenges over at Club CK this week, on my title.  The Issue Challenge, was to use packaging from old letters/thickers to create your title.  I used the negative from some of my old chipboard letters to trace my title and then cut around each of the letters.  It's a really fun technique and adds a little umph to your title!!

  9. Your LO is precious! It is so hard to actually use some of those papers instead of hoarding them away but you must be so glad you used them when you look at this. It's so bright and pretty and perfect with the water in the background.
    Thanks for sharing! :)
