Well it's week two of Scrap Your Ass Off.  And I finished my second layout.  I'm so excited that I got two layouts done in two weeks.  This is really going to help me keep up with all my scrapbooking.
Here's the layout...

 And here's my layout - I love it.  Again you had to choose 4 embellishments, I used flowers, buttons, ribbon and border punch.  For the technique I chose misting which I did on the background with one of my Prima masks.  I really love the way the ribbon turned out, I actually stitched it up the middle to ruffle it.

 Here's a close up of the flowers, I cut them out of the patterned paper and used my shaping tools to give them some dimension.  Added some super cute buttons in the middle.  The colors look so great together.  You can't really see but the actual background paper has a scroll embossing in it.

 Here's a close up of the picture.  Gorgeous, it was a caterpillar that we found in the park when we were out for a walk.  I did some really cool close-ups of the the little furry guy.  I even cut out some leaves and a butterfly from the green patterned paper.  Also shaped them and popped them up.

Looking forward to sharing a new layout with you every week!!
Happy Stamping!

March's technique challenge over at Paper Secrets is using stencils with your mists. Which I have never done!! Can you imagine, I had never used glimmer mist with a stencil. So I took out my homemade glimmer spray and a diecut Basic Grey sheet and went to work.

I had this super cool Paintables paper that I have been hoarding for a while - yes hoarding - that I thought would be absolutely perfect. So I went to town on the spraying until I used up all my spray - lol - they are just tiny bottles that I put together one at a time. All the black images are actually pre-printed on the page with all the swirls and the clock. I found the stickers at the dollar store, they just jumped out and said "buy me". And then I added some bling swirls for more glitter. Even the letters are glitter.

Now I'm going to tell you a secret. The only things on this page that didn't come from the dollar store are the paper and the pictures. I know - it's amazing what you can get at Dollar Giant. I did add a little bit of Tim Holtz distress inks on the edge of the 12x12 to antique it a little.

I'm really enjoying the challenges at Paper Secrets! And I hope you are enjoying my projects.

Happy Stamping!
