Embossed accents

sept-2-pages-page-007
I have a new toy!  My little green Cuttlebug is proving to be so much fun to hang out with.  It works with the CTMH embossing folders to add a textured pattern to flat papers.  There are 5 folders to choose from.  Take a look at them here. The folders will work with other brands of embossing machine, I just like this one because it is so compact and easy to use (and I got a great deal on it because I'm a consultant).



I have 2 cards featuring embossing to show you today.  The first features a subt…

Free To Be Me

sept-2-pages-page-007
I had a lot of fun making this page using the April/May Exclusive paper pack called Free To Be Me.  It was inspired by a layout I saw on Pinterest but that one was very girlie.  The strips were all cut 8 inches long.  Widths varied from 1/2 inch to 2 inches.  Just have fun playing with the arrangement of colours and offset each strip a little.  The top and bottom strips were centred across the page.

Wild Things

sept-2-pages-page-007
My baby sister turned 50 last year and a celebration at the zoo was planned.  It's her favourite place to go.  Unfortunately, the forecast was for rain all day so we relocated the event to my house.  We wanted her to feel like she was at the zoo, so pulled out all the stuffed animals and cushions with animal motifs to scatter about!  Gathering our adult children together is never easy and one was missing but we took the family photo regardless.  A snapshot in time.
