It's been such a pleasure to work with these 16 talented women over the past year!
I love everything about American Crafts and have had so much fun being involved with them some way or another since 2008.
Here is a layout I made just for the hop:
LITTLE BEAN
Journaling says: We have many nick-names for you Jane, including "Little Bean: cuz you're so little, just like a bean! Daddy loves holding you.
Notes: This piece of cardstock with flowers die cut from it was a remnant from a project that required a lot of flowers. I figured I'd save the scrap cardstock and use it as a mask for misting or something. I'm glad I held onto it cuz when I saw it a few weeks later, this layout came to be!
How to: Back the die cut flowers from a sheet of white cardstock with different patterned papers. Accent the center of some of the flowers with an embellishment (brad, button, or accordion flower). Add two photos to the bottom and journal below them. Create a title on a tag cut in half, place the halves above the photos, then embellish with crocheted trim, stickpins, a chipboard banner cut in half, a sentiment banner sticker, and pearls.
Supplies: Cardstock, patterned paper, brads, buttons, accordion flowers, stickers (letters, sentiment banner), chipboard banner, tag, pen, adhesive: American Crafts; Stickpins, pearls: Pebbles; Crocheted trim: Loe My Tapes; Die cut machine (Cameo), flower dies: Silhouette
To celebrate, here is a giveaway to three lucky ladies:
1) Most of the Fresh Squeezed line:
2) Most of the Gardenia line:
3) Some Amy Tangerine Daybooks and embellishments (stamps, die cuts, tabs):
Leave a comment on this post by Saturday September 8th 2012 and I'll randomly select three winners to receive a bundle'o'goodness. Good luck one and all!
Next on the hop is Leah Farquharson!
