Patterned Paper, Journaling Spots, Butterflies, Crepe Paper, buttons, rhinestones, letter stickers, chipboard buttons- all JBS. you can find them all HERE.
Butterfly Punch- Martha Stewart
Pen- American Crafts Precision Pen .03
Twine- Vintage
FYI- The only adhesive I ever really use is the EZ Runner. I used glue dots on the butterflies.
I'm a bit behind on Sadie's monthly layouts and I decided to use my JBS goodies to do a layout for her.
It's pretty self-explanatory I think. My layouts don't usually require much explanation. teehee!
I did want to say that the red butterflies are punched from red crepe paper ribbon. I adhered them to cardstock before i punched them. They would have torn otherwise...plus it gives them some durability.
I love scattering embellishments on layouts. I've been inspired by people like Jamie Waters and Jennifer Johner to scatter embellishments on my pages. They are the queens of that. I haven't quite mastered the effortlessness, but I love trying!
In other news, it's CHA winter sneak peek time!
Here is a glimpse at Studio Calico's new line, Anthology. I am so excited about this one. So chic and fresh:
And Lily Bee is releasing two new lines. I'm so anticipating getting these in my hands. They are so bright and happy...with that vintage edge. My favorite thing from LB yet.
i may have seen something from the JBS release that has me BEYOND excited. may have. that's all i can say. but if i DID, it was probably amazing. ;)
and speaking of amazing, I couldn't possibly be more excited to see my friend Liz's new release for American Crafts. Scallops, flowers, ribbons, ruffles, hearts...sigh. you can see it here.
Hope you had a beautiful weekend!
Come back soon for a sponsor giveaway, plus one of my own. And look for more product sneaks as well!
love to you all! xoxo
It's been awhile since I've left a comment, but I'm still reading and I'm still super jealous of your creativity! Beautiful layout!
