The Crafter's Workshop and Dabbers

Have you ever tried to find the perfect patterned paper to do a layout of your child's school?Sometimes you just cannot find it. With a stencil from The Crafter's Workshop and a 2 dabbers I created my own patterned paper that will work with any school colours. Jess's colours are easy as any Christmas theme will be fine but here i have used the stencil on white cardstock and the red and green dabber to paint my own patterned paper. I also used the stencil and one dabber to write Jessica's name.

Bazzill Cardstock and Heidi Swapp Alphabet

This layout was done using 2 new products. Bazzill Swiss Dots cardstock in 2 shades of colours and Heidi Swapp Ghost Stickers. These stickers are transparent and I have added some Ranger Distress inks to them to make them the colour I want to suit the layout. Notice the texture in them.The pearls are Kaisercraft.

Treehouse Memories Patterned Paper

These papers are so versatile and classic. So they don't date and can match up with any layout or card. They are also double sided. the front is patterned and the back is a plain colour that tones in.

The flowers have been punched and Kaisercraft pearls have been placed in the centres.

Bazzill Swiss Dots Cardstock

This cardstock by Bazzill is so nice. The texture is great. There are 3 colours in each range. I made this layout for the camp I went to in May.It uses 2 colours in the pink range. I have also used Kaisercraft stamps and pearls. The chipboard title is a range we also stock and any titles can be ordered. This one is in script font.

Here is another of Dianne's tags. The flower is so elegant on this card.

Raine's Tag

I think I will agree with this quote. Raine has stamped and embossed this lady. The flower is from SALT.
