Pop-up Wednesday - 3/7

I love pop-ups! They are so much fun to help accent your page. I love playing over at MSW with all those wonderful ladies. There is an awesome contest going on this month from our sponsor My Scraps and More. So the challenge is to use this sketch from our wonderful Lucy.

But on top of using this sketch you have to pick from 1 of the 3 color swatches, use a quote, and implement that quote in your title and journaling. So I used my quote from the Bible Ecclesiastes 3:11.

Pop-ups can also be used on chipboard and other pieces of your layout. I placed to small squares under the chipboard bee to help maintain the flow.

But they can also be used to help emphasis your photo as well. I placed pop-ups under the photo between the mat. I learned this trick from a tablemate at a crop.

So here is the final outcome:

Materials:

BB Sun Kissed papers

Recollections flowers

EK border punch

Di-stress Friday - 3/2

There are many different ways to distress on your pages and cards. Well here is a way to make your backgrounds a little more useful. So when I was making this page I realized the white shimmering paper did not go with the design. So I decided to change it up.

Take an Inkssentials blending foam tool and press the end of it into the stamp pad. Then in a circular motion add it to the paper.

I used it on the entire page, but it is totally up to you how much you want to cover. Or you could even do multiple colors. It is completely up to you.

You can also ink the edges of your papers to help keep this effect throughout the page. As seen on the building paper. I used Powder Puff Green Tea and a finger sponge dauber. 

Here is my completed page using another MSW sketch:

Materials:

SWR District papers

BG Doily paper

Prima butterflies

Amy Tangerine Thickers

TH Tea Dye Distress ink

PowderPuff Green Tea chalk
