Scrapbook Steals Blog Hop - 4/5

Welcome to the Scrapbook Steals Blog Hop!!! If you came here from Michelle Philippi .... then you have arrived at the right place. If happen to just fall upon find my blog.... then you should start at the beginning here


Scrapbook Steals is hosting a blog hop today to show off the wonderful Studio Calico Wood Veneer Pieces. There are so many to choose from! The inspiration from the other ladies on the hop is awesome!

I thought I was lucky enough to be receiving the butterflies. I have 2 girls and tons of pics so how hard can it be. Well it was actually really tough to decide which pictures I wanted to use. Then it was even harder deciding on which size to use. There were 20 butterflies of 5 different sizes in the package. Well as many of my followers know.... I am a huge fan of alcohol inks!!! So how much fun would it be to make them different colors to add life to my page! Well that's exactly what I did!

Well I had quite a few left over so I decided to add them to another page I was working on. This time I left 1 natural and painted the other 3 with TH Distress Crackle paint. So there are many ways that these can be used to fit your project.

My Page:


Close-ups:
2 different inks used. Espresso & Latte
Pearl bling from $1 bin at Michael's

Eggplant, Lettuce, Stonewashed, Latte

I hope that y'all will enjoy these awesome Wood Veneer Butterflies as much as I do! 

Now head on over to Paper Memories by Brenshevia to see how she used her Wood Veneer pieces!
