Happy Fourth of July!! Here are a couple LOs to share

Hello! Here is the start to a beautiful Fourth of July day here in Michigan. Hope eveyone has a great day!

I had such a hard time deciding what to pick for my Guest Designer Package. I LOVE Noel's Cotton Candy kit and that's when Noel made a great suggestion which led me to go with the Crate Hill Blue Hill Collection. Not only did I get that pack, but I also got come Basic Grey Cupcake, Cosmo Cricket and tons of embellies!!

This first layout I had to make...the Cosmo Cricket papers worked perfectly with all of my daughter's pink poodles. I tore the paper and inked the edges (which is my favorite technique at the moment). I think inking the edges helps the papers pop, especially when combining patterns.




I had a lot of fun creaing this layout also. I have had these pics of my daughter 'coolin off' in our hot tub nad haven't found the right papers to use with them. I thought the Crate Paper Blue Hill Collection worked well with the pics. I love that the Crate Paper collection is double sided and I got two sheets of each paper. I also used the American Craft Thickers that Noel supplied me...LOVE 'EM...the color and font are perfect!!



Thanks for looking...I'll be back with more layouts.
