Hi,
scrappy friends! Missy here with you today.
Have you had a chance to
play with the new Lost & Found collections? They are amazing! I
couldn’t wait to dig in
as soon as I received them. The embellishments are so fun in this
collection…lots of layered stickers, Project Life cards, ephemera,
glitter…you name it! I created a layout combining the Heirloom and
Antique collections. I was instantly inspired by the gorgeous
pinks in the Heirloom line, and wanted to create a layout about me and
my husband.
I
began with the Heirloom “Formal” paper and went for my gesso, modeling
paste and stencils. I love to “dirty” up my backgrounds sometimes.
It’s fun to use gesso
to give a faded look around the page. Next, I started to go through all
the papers and Project Life cards to build my layers.
Supplies:Lost & Found Record It “Heirloom” Papers: Formal, Glamourous; Record It Cards, Ephemera, Sticker Accessory Sheet, Decorative Brads, Decorative Tapes, Alpha Word Stickers; “Antique” Papers: Charming Glittered, Elegant; Record It Cards, Ephemera, Sticker Accessory Sheet, Decorative Tapes, Chipboard Elements, Alpha and Word Stickers, Decorative Brads; Cut & Paste Presh “Good Times” Decorative Stamps; The Sweetest Thing Stamps;Misc:Liquitex Gesso, Golden Modeling Paste, Crafter’s Workshop Stencil, black pen
Next,
I sorted through all the word stickers and ephemera…there are so many
fun ways to embellish with this collection! I chose several pieces that
described the
way I feel about my husband. The fun part is that both of these
collections mesh so well together. Everything coordinates!
Another awesome part of these collections is the glitter! Yay! What girl doesn’t love glitter? And it’s silver, so it goes with everything!
There are also lots of arrows in these lines…in this layout, I just kept thinking of Cupid’s Arrow. It seemed appropriate for a page about love :).
I had tons of fun going through these collections and combining different elements from each one. And they’re not all completely “lovey dovey.” There is so much to choose from that you really can make pages about any subject. That’s what I love about MME’s products!
Thanks for stopping by today!
