FotoBella May Goodies....

Hello and Happy Thursday to you.

I received my box of goodies from FotoBella Yesterday and once again I am so excited to play with Basic Grey, What's Up Bundle. I have so many ideas I need to reel myself in.

If you click on the Basic Grey link above there is a great interactive viewing software on Fotobella's site so that you can view each page. Check it out.

The colors are orange red, purples, blues, tans, cream, teal and a bit of the hot color this season.... CORAL. A pale light orange.

My fav is the chevron pattern paper "Around the World" and the these MINI envelopes. So so stinkin' cute.

                                                         See how cute these are.........

Prima BAP Layout....

 

 

 

Hello Lovelies-

I wanted to share this Layout that I created for Prima's May Build A Page.

This was a fun layout to create texture and layers within a page. This is a good thing for me because I used a lot of spray inks and layering stamps so it made the page more sturdy.

Materials:
Of course Prima, Prima and More Prima.

Tip: If you like to use spray inks be sure to cover your photos or anything that you may not want to spray. I used quite a bit of white acrylic paint to the edges of everything.... ha ha- so it seemed that way. Also, if you want to get the drip look just add some H2O and stand your page to a 45 degree angle then use a heat tool to dry where you want the drips to stop.

This was a Layout for my Son's "First Friend" and the kindness they have for one another. I know it looks like they are in an embrace.... However- they are playing who can pick up who the best...
So sweet.

I would love to have an outside party Asian food of course... using the lanterns in the trees and the fortune cookie gift boxes as take homes. So fun.

Fortune Cookie Tutorial

-->

What you will need:

Paper Bo Bunny Serenity I Want It All Bundle. I used Serenity Tomoko Side B.

Paper circle punch or pencil and scissors.

Hot Glue Gun or Ranger Wonder Tape.

Fortune Cookie Fortunes…. There is a link below.

STEP 1

Start by tracing a circle on the paper or Punch out a circle. Any circle from about 3-4" works well. These are 3”.

STEP 2

Fold the circle in half, but do not crease the circle.

STEP 3

Hold the paper as shown and begin the folding process. Keep in mind that I had to take the photo, so normally your other hand would be holding the opposite side together.

STEP 4

Bring the two sides together. They look more realistic, if you do not fold them in half, but rather, off-center. You want to do this before you apply adhesive.

STEP 5

I recommend a strong adhesive, because of the pressure on the sides. I used Hot Glue and you could also use two strips of Wonder Tape. Keep the pieces small enough, so they do not show.

STEP 6

Bring the sides together again, and there you have a paper cookie. You are finished.

I printed off fortunes from this site: Fortune Cookie Sayings. If you are wanting the boxes shown above I used my Silhouette Cameo SD and you can find the cutting files from Silhouette Shop.

Thanks and wishing you good fortune.
