For the page above, i cut up the sticker sheet that the letter stickers came with and used it as a stencil for the letters and sprayed my Maya mist over it. This was killer fun and you should TOTALLY try it.
This one was so quick and simple but it turned out so graphic. I just started with a white piece of cardstock from my stash and sprayed some charcoal Maya Mist for a rocker grunge look. The rest of the items on the page are all from the kit. Totally fun page to make!
I was inspired to alter this go round for some reason. Not like altered projects but altered supplies. I painted, I inked, I misted, I masked, I sewed...I basically went nuts. And here are the results.
For the "Yummo" layout took two of the big bracket stickers and placed them where I wanted my title to be. Then I sprayed some brown Maya mist over the page and lifted the stickers. This was a great masking technique that I highly recommend! Plus now I have some cool "aged" looking brackets to use on another layout. I also wanted bold yellow letters for this layout. Since the letters in the kit were blue, I took out a yellow paint marker and just painted them...then Stitched them on the layout.
It's amazing what you can do if you go a little technique crazy!
For this one I used the background of the letter stickers as a mask. I pealed the background off of the sheet and used the entire sticky background part (leaving the letters themselves stuck to the backing of the slick package. Then I stuck the background onto my page and sprayed Maya mist over it and pealed it off. I LOVE this technique...you will see this over and over on my layouts I'm sure! You MUST try it. It's so easy and the results are so graphic and bold!
Bottom line...lets see you go a little technique crazy!
Loaded with BoBunny papers and stickers, some great papers from Scrap with in reach, a Heidi Swap stamp and more! I love the Jillibean Soup letter stickers...they look sorta like woodgrain! And that Creative Imaginations film strip is amazing!

I'm still going crazy with my teal glimmer mist...but you could use paint too, or any kind of liquid ink really. I also cut up the bling and used it to accent the title which is stamped from a part of the Heidi Swapp corner stamp.
Since I broke the needle on my sewing maching on the previous layout, I did some hand stitching and I'm really glad I did. Also used some punches, like the bird punch and the scalloped border punch.
I was just now able to sit down and finish it yesterday.
I folded the flower over and stitched it on the sewing machine.
And I painted the bling and cut the circles in half to make it look more like a scallop. It ended up being a cool embelishment. I'm really loving painting on bling!
On this page I cut out opening in the center of my patterned paper to form a frame and stitched some regular velumn to the backside for some added dimention and interest. Then I sewed the torn rectangle of patterned paper on top of that. It gave great interest to an otherwise flat layout.
Now for this layout and the next one, I got a little glimmer mist crazy but I love the results! I used the back of the diecut paper as a mask to make the design on the white cardstock.
Same here, I used the back of the diecut "Family" title piece as a mask and sprayed the glimmer mist right over it to make the design on the brown cardstock.
I also only inked the word "memories" on the Heidi Swapp stamp and used it as part of my title. Another way those stamps can go a long way! I even used my bling to the best of it's ability...I cut it up and used it as an eye for my little birdie!
And it's hard to tell...but in the little scalloped design I cut out with a border punch, I put the little stones from the bling. I'll have to take a closer up picture for you for my next post. I have some more fun projects planned for this kit so check back later!
