Happy Easter crafty peeps! And, although it is Easter, today I am sharing a fall LO for Your Memories Here that features a day spent at the pumpkin patch. I don't always scrap 'in season' but rather what moods suit me and sometimes, you just get so tired of seeing certain colors or themes that are associated with certain holidays. So although this is a fall themed LO, I made sure to use bright spring/summer colors to make it a little more trendy & fun!
Supplies
Letters/Date Spot/Fall Sticker - Making Memories
Punches - Stampin' Up, Martha Stewart
Adhesives - Glue Glider Pro, Aileen's Fast Grab Tacky Glue
Distress Ink (walnut stain) - Tim Holtz
Bingo Card/Chipboard Butterflies/White Mat/Pen - Stash
I love upcycling & the kraft cardstock was Prima transparency packaging in a former life. After trimming it to a 12x12 size, I laid some chipboard butterflies down & used my TA Chalkboard Glimmer Mists to spritz them. After removing them, I had the fun masking effect & then I just traced & cut a few of the same butterflies to add some more dimension. You can use any item, found or purchased, to mask with & don't be afraid to use fun things like mesh, tape, bubble packaging and more. Just try something new & fun!! And, it's always easy to have fun when using some Tattered Angels Glimmer Mists...which are still on sale for one more week at the Your Memories Here Store; check the amazing sale out HERE! For great glimmer mist inspiration, check out the YMH DT Blog HERE!
Now, I am off to gorge myself on Mt. Dew & candy, specifically chocolate candy bars, because that is what I gave up for Lent this year. And while I am not Catholic, I always participate in Lent because I enjoy what this Holy holiday means & feel it is the least I can do to give up something so insignificant for a man who gave up His life for me. My faith & love in the Lord is strong & I can feel myself reconnecting during the season of Lent. I don't always share my faith on my blog, but I hope you don't mind, and maybe next year, if you'd like join me in giving up something during the season, give me a shout & we'll do it together!! Lots of love, blessings & thoughts of happy craftin' coming your way!
