Party Time Page Kit Embellishment

The page kits this month are awesome. I really like the party time kit. I thought of a fun way to dress up the cupcake. Right now, the directions have you covering the “frosting” top with diamond glaze or glossy accents and sprinkling bugle beads on the top. BUT, I also thought it would be fun to paint the top of the cupcake with texture paint, then sprinkle on the bugle beads. The frosting paint would look like real frosting when it dries.

Sketch for May Ensemble

I love this month’s Ensemble. This new line from We R Memory Keepers is just plain fun. The kit comes with 6 patterned papers and 8 matching cardstock papers. The patterned papers are very vibrant and will look great with your summer photos.

My favorite die cut that comes with this kit is palm trees and the hammock. It makes me think of hanging out in the backyard while the kids are running like crazy through the sprinklers. I’ve been messing around with some sketches to use with the kit, and here is the first one.

Butterfly Wishes Mini Album, April 2008 Monthly Scrapbooking Project Club

This album has the greatest "butterfly wish" quote that runs through the book. It is really beautiful on every page. Every page has something special on it. I'm really happy how it came out.

A funny note about making this album. As I was putting the glue on the vellum page, I realized I didn't have vellum glue, LOL. Bit of a problem since the glue was now going to totally show! Luckily, there was an easy fix. I edged the vellum with gold paint. It completely covered where the glue showed through.
