Sweet! (GCD Studios)

They say all trends come full circle over time and believe that is true!  When I first started scrapbooking basic geometric shapes were all the rage and I they are coming back! 

I just cant get enough of triangles today!  I love to use them to make a banner or to create a background pattern with, as I did on this layout.

Using the Special Delivery collection from GCD Studios I cut sever squares to 2 1/2 x 2 1/2 and they cut them in half to have 2 triangles.  I did this with several papers so I had lots of patterns to choose from.  When I layered them on my paper I put some on with pop-dots to give the layout some dimension.

Topping the layout off with lots of details like the paint, twine and stickers it has all come together!

Black Ice (Imaginisce)

I love the simplicity of the new Black Ice collection from Imaginisce!  This line is will work for so many occasions from formal wedding to everyday life!

I love on my layout I used several different patterns and they works so well because its all the same color!  The other part I love about Black Ice it will work with any pop color you want!  I had some red in my photo so I went with just a bit of red on my layout! 

Enjoy the collection, I am!

 Supplies:

Imaginisnce:  Black Ice, i-Rock, Foam Tape

Imaginisnce & Tombow Blog Hop

 

Welcome to the Imaginisnce and Tombow Blog Hop!   With summer upon us my family is getting geared up for our summer reading!  Here are 3 bookmarks we will be using to keep try of our summer reads!  

I used lots of Imaginisce papers, stickers and stamps from the Outdoor Adventure, Childhood Memories and Love you More collections!  I was able to use the Tombow Power Adhesive Tabs to give stickers a lift and be sure they will stay put!  I also love the Tombow Dual Brush Pens, these amazing for stamping!  Lastly, I just cant get enough of my favorite multipurpose Tombow product, Aqua Liquid Glue!  This clear, fast drying glue is perfect for holing my twine in place!  

Be sure to keep hopping a long to the other Designers, up next is Mary Pat and back to Tombow and Imaginisnce for a chance to win one of these great prizes! 

Fathers Day Gift Box (GCD Studio)

It's time to celebrate Father's Day with GCD Studios!  I love shopping for the perfect gift for my dad an helping my son pick out one for my husband but what I love more is packaging these gifts!

This is a kraft take-out container that I bought (in bulk) for previous gift giving but it was just the right size for a special selection of grill seasonings. I was so excited to use the Special Delivery collection to create this treat box! 

The Special Delivery collection is a must have for anyone with a boy in their life! This collection is for every age range! 

I layered several of these handsome papers to create a wrap around the box and then added some details with twine, paper clips and cut outs.  To top it off I added this adorable bow-tie that I had purchased, nothing says boy like a bow-tie!

Be sure your gift wrap is as special as your gift!
