Accent Scrapbooking Team up & Product Swap Blog Hop!



Hello and welcome to the Accent Scrapbooking Team Up & Product Swap Hop!  This month the Sparklers and I got to use a bunch of fun flairs from Accent Scrapbooking!  You should have arrived here form Christy's blog.  I'm sure you enjoyed her layout!  For this hop selected a sketch from Laura Whitaker and got crafty!  Here is the sketch we used:


I am still working on getting all of my pictures from last summer scrapped, so I grabbed my leftover summer papers and embellishments and, of course, a bunch of goodies from the SMS shop and got going!  Here is my layout:



I had leftovers from Amy Tan and Dear Lizzy's summer collections that I wanted to get used up.  I started with a 12x12 piece of Textured White Cardstock from American Crafts and cut it down to 8.5x11.  I added strips of patterned paper at the top and bottom and sewed them on with gold thread using my sewing machine.


I printed a 4x4 of my daughters at the local splash pad.  I layered a White Paper Lace Doily behind it along with a few pieces of ephemera.  I tucked a Cork Confetti Butterfly and a Cloudy Days Feltie in also.


Following the sketch, I created an embellishment cluster near the bottom of the page using a wood veneer ampersand, a brad from Dear Lizzy and a few enamel dots from my stash.  I also gave the layout a good splatter of Heidi Shine in Gold and Shimmerz Inklingz in Piggy Pink.


I filled a Small Glassine bag with some of the new Pocket Full of Posies Sequin Mix, sewed it shut and tucked it behind my picture.  I added the gold mirrored title from My Mind's Eye.  I also strung two tassels from Maggie Holmes Gather collection on some white thread and added a few of the Pocket Full of Posies loose sequins.  And finally, I added the gorgeous "Happy Moment" flair from Accent Scrapbooking!

I hope you enjoyed my layout for todays hop!  I had so much fun creating it for you!  Now you are headed over to Hanna's blog!
