i had hoped you wouldnt look at my blog until after you already got your package.... guess i ruined the surprise....

i chose this one for you because of the story about what got you into kit clubs and sg in particular.... dont want to share much about that here... its not my story... but i hope that makes sense.

thank you for the compliments too!

These are lovely! And thanks for the tutorial. Most of these kinds of things are common sense but when you haven't done it before, there's always something you don't think of, and it's really helpful to have some tips from someone who has and knows what works best!

thank you. the first one i did was trial and error... i wished i had some kind of tutorial to get me through it.... first it was not enough modpodge, then it was airbubbles, then it was warping, then it was the modpodge never losing its tack (i loved the acryllic idea)....

Wow, they're beautiful! Wish I wasn't such a frugal scrapper. I can't afford the gorgeous stuff you use on your pages lol!

thank you.

and this is not that expensive, believe it or not. all the papers came from a paper stack by dcwv. normally the stacks go for 19.99 but with their sales at joann, you get them for about $10 which is excellent for 80 sheets of cardstock patterned paper.

the embellishments are all pulled from stash... you would be amazing what you can accomplish on a tight budget.
