My Creative Sketches Reveal!

Hello!  It's time for the April reveal at My Creative Sketches!  I had the pleasure of working with the Limited Edition featuring Crate Paper's  adorable O' Darling collection! Pam has this kit overflowing with diecuts, chipboard, alpha's, wood pieces, flowers, as well as ribbon, papers, and more! Seriously, this kit is STUFFED with all kinds of goodies!

Look at this assortment of goodies! 

 Love these flowers!  The wood pieces are so fun to work with!  I covered mine with some mist for a hint of color, the topped with a layer of stickles for a bit of girly shimmer. 

 Combination of stickers, chipboard, diecuts, and paper make layering fun and easy!

Notice the sequins and jewels?  Yep, they are in the kit too!

These papers and coordinating embellishments are as adorable as my great niece!  :-)

Detail Delight

Hello!  When decorating your home, you chose just the right accessories to compliment your eye giving your home a warm welcoming feeling.  When dressing up, you chose the accessories that compliment your outfit giving the sexy appeal you feel.   The same happens in choosing just the right embellishments (or accessories) to compliment your page.  Any way you look at it, it's all in the details you add. In working with kits from My Creative Scrapbook,  Pam fills the kits with oodles of coordinating embellishments.  I want to share with you today the difference just a few details can make. 

My first layout. 

 I started by adding a textured background, some stitching, and a few embellishments to my layout...looks good as is.

 By adding just a few more details, it  created a whole new look!

 

I've photographed my second layout in three stages.  A textured background, a few layers, and a couple flowers.

Already a big change in appearance by adding not only a few more embellishments, but by adding embellishments with a complimentary color! 

 

And finally, just a few small details make a big impact!

 

And lastly...

 a few small embellishments make it feel more complete!

 

For more fabulous inspiration and tutorials, head to My Creative Scrapbook Blog.  You can check this kit, and many more at My Creative Scrapbook.

To create the snowflake, I brushed distress ink along the edges, then dabbed on areas of distress paint.  The moisture from the paint made the ink bleed adding at to the aged feel.  Once dry, I added a touch of stickles for a little shimmer.
