I put together these layouts from CTMH's Miracle Paper line. It is a Retired line but as I mentioned previously I am trying to use up some of my stash. I love the colors in this kit. They are Sweet Leaf, Crystal Blue, Heavenly Blue and Honey. I put pictures of my Grandson having fun. The title Oh No I've been Caught is because in the second page you see him sitting in front of his Sister's bedroom door. He wants to go in and play with all her toys. After waiting patiently for the door to open he decided I am going to try to get in myself. Unfortunately he is not walking yet at this time and is also way to short to reach. His Mom sneaks up behind him and snaps the last picture. Hence the option Oh No I've Been Caught!! His expression is so cute!!
The techniques in this project were stamping on canvas buttons, stamping and cutting out the butterflies and making the flowers with the 1 1/4" circle punch. The circles were stamped first with Background stamps using the Honey ink. Then folded and put together finishing with a Glitter brad in the center. Here is a Tip if you don't have the right color Glitter brad already. I used a Garden Green brad and some Martha Stewart Glitter in a green color and a Twilight brad and again Martha Stewart Glitter in a Blue color. I took a brad and put it in my Tweezer Bee Tweezers and dipped it in some Liquid Glass and then in the Glitter. Tap it off and set aside to dry. Do this with each brad you need covered. The Liquid Glass held the Glitter really well and saved the day. I made a 2x7 Journal box with Bamboo card Stock and ran it through my printer changing the color for it to print with to Chocolate. After placing all the papers down but before all the embellishments I stitched around each page on the 11 x 11 Sweet Leaf B&T piece 1/4" in from the edge. I used the new CTMH Ruler. WOW it really Rocks!! You can do zig zag, straight, horizontal lines etc. Plus it is 14" long and 2" wide. I used Colonial White floss from the Neutral package. The 1" wide ribbon is in the Sweet Leaf color.
I hoe you enjoy this one. Come back tomorrow I will have another Christmas Card. See you then.
