Pure Joy!!!

This is another layout using the retired paper pack, Miracle. The colors are Bamboo card stock base pages with Crystal Blue, Sweet Leaf and Chocolate.

 There are a number of techniques and embellishments that are a part of these pages. They are as follows.

  The stamp set that came in the Miracle WOTG kit has 2 stamps that the pin wheels were made from. these 2 stamps are like a background stamp design with small lines in each corner. You cut on all 4 lines for each one. Then you place a glue dot in the center of the square. Then you take a corner and bring it up to the center and adhere with the glue dot. You continue until all 4 corners have been adhered to the center. The 2 stamps were one large and one small giving you 2 different sized pinwheels. The finishing touch is taking a circle from one of the Kraft border strips and adding that to cover the 4 points in the center.

The Kraft Border strips have 50 in the package. I used a number of different strips. One I inked with chocolate ink and added it to a scalloped non inked strip. I took another style and threaded a 1/8" piece of Heavenly Blue card stock through the holes in it. here are many different treatments that can be done to the Kraft Borders.

Another technique featured in these layouts is making a Faux Pleated Ribbon Accent using strips of card stock. I used 2 strips that were 1x12. Pleat with this interval--3/4, 1, 1 3/4, 2. 2 3/4, 3 etc. Adhere the 2 strips together. The other technique was dry embossing on the Desert sand pieces. The 4 x 12 strip I made lines at varying intervals on the back side. Turn over and sand the raised lines. The other area is the title block area. Only on this one I made the lines on the front side which results in debossed lines. 

Finish it off with your pictures. Don't my 2 Grand kids look a lot alike? They are so Cute!!
