Autumn Leaves Blackbird #2

Another quickie from this great kit. I love these papers :)

Product Spotlight: Stickles

I LOVE Stickles! They are GREAT for accenting. They add just enough texture/interest and bling. They come in SO many different colors, but I only use one (stardust) because I can add it over ANY color and it just adds some glitter interest, letting the original color show through.

Anyways, here's a few examples of them in action. On the first I 'stickled' a snowflake that I cut out from a patterned paper (and then I added a ghost snowflake over the top of it) and on the second I traced a pattern in the patterned paper to accent it with glitter.

I'd LOVE to see your creations using stickles -- please share!

Autumn Leaves Blackbird

I got this GREAT kit from ScrappersXchange! This line is PERFECT for scrapping pics of my girls. Once I pulled the kit out I had this layout done in less then 20 minutes, and I love it. I've had this picture sitting around for 2 years waiting for the right paper -- and this was it!

I'll share more in a few days from this same kit :)

HOLY COW!!

Check out the shop! .05 cent paper and even the new stuff is CHEAP!!!!!

Technique: using diecuts to add interest!

Ok, if you know me, you know that i tend to be a scrappy "over-doer." I don't like simple layouts. (at least not when I make them, i like other's simple layouts!!) I don't like simple sketches, i like ELABORATE! Sometimes that's fine, but sometimes you just want to make a few layouts quickly! One of my new favorites for being able to make quickie layouts that are interesting is using die cuts. ESPECIALLY the new glittery Crate paper diecuts you will find in the shop http://stores.scrappersxchangetheshop.com/-strse-***JUST-IN/Categories.bok
I just linked to the new items since there's so many of them to explore, but check these out!! I hope to buy the other lines as soon as possible. Right now i have Lemongrass. here's a couple of examples of simple layouts made interesting with die cuts. Click on the pictures to see them bigger :-)

Another Small Gem From the Scenic Route Kraft Kit . . .

Hey There!

Wow, there are many great things that can be said about ScrappersXchange kits, but one of the best is that they just keep on producing! What a great value especially, when most of us have to buckle down and really watch what we are spending. Here is another little gem created from the kit and I still have some paper and plenty of embellies left!
