Happy Tuesday Everyone!

Sharing a layout I created using a photo of one of my adorable great-nephews.  This layout was inspired by Scrap Our Stash "Anything Fuzzy" Challenge, Eleven Things You Can Do With Heart Punches at Practical Scrappers and the Material Challenge at Scrap It Girl

For the "fuzzy" items, I used the striped paper which is flocked and there is also flocking on the chipboard journaling embellie.  After creating the burlap flower for the material challenge, I noticed there was a lot of fuzz on my working surface and it dawned on me that burlap, although it has a rough texture, it is a "fuzzy' fiber.  

I created the butterfly by using the MS "Heartbeat" deep edge punch.  I glued two of the larger hearts together to create the wings and then added a thin  piece of chipboard to the back of one of the smaller hearts and placed it on top of the butterfly where I adhered the 'wings" together.  I added fiber from the burlap to the butterfly for the "antennas"!  

Supplies: 

WRMK "Tres Elegant" Collection

Thickers

Lillibee Designs Alphas

Scrapbook Steals/Prima Flowers Blog Hop

Happy Friday Everyone!   

I am excited to be a part of ScrapbookSteals Blog Hop this month.
We are featuring  Prima Marketing Flowers, available today at the Scrapbook Steals Network.
Scrapbook Steals is an excellent source for scrapbooking supplies and ideas!

You should have arrived from Scrap Happens, if not you will want to start at the beginning of the hop (Scrapbook Steals) so that you do not miss any of the wonderful projects created using these beautiful flowers by the blog hop designers.

Here is a layout I created using the 

Prima Marketing Flowers

I used the flowers in three different ways:

1. I used the smaller flowers with pearls to embellish the banner

2.  I also used a small flower to embellish the photo

3.  I layered 3 different sizes of the flowers, added a pearl and twine and clustered with a chipboard embellishment and stick pens to create a cluster.

Layout inspired by a Design by Diana sketch
