Angels Among Us

I realize I've been MIA this past week...so sorry.  Life has just been a bit crazy but it's finally going to get back to normal.  YEAH!!!!!  Some of my favorite bedtime stories from when I was little where about angels and how they are always around and protecting us.  Sometimes they reveal themselves to us or perhaps to someone else for our protection.  This week I know I've had angels around me and I'm so very thankful. 

This is a project I did for KaiserCraft using the new Tiny Woods Collection.  The handmade flowers show the vibrant colors of this paperline and also how you can adapt styles for different collections.

I adore the crackle finish using Tim Holtz Distress Paint and Ink.  So shabby wonderful.  I hope you always remember you have angels protecting you every minute of everyday. 

Bingo Box

Happy Thursday everyone! Beary Scraps bingo challenge is still going on so this week I picked Distress, Glitter and Lace. The base for my box uses Echo Parks newest collection Victoria Gardens. I adore the versatility of the sheet music paper...perfect for this project.

The distressing was done several ways...first I inked the edges of the box with Distress Ink...then I stamped the leaves with Distress Crackle Paint. After the paint was dried I re stamped with Memento Ink.

The flowers are from Prima and I added Stickles Glitter to the edges for a little extra pop.

Finally for the lace, I created the lace handmade flower. It was so easy. I just took a scrap piece of lace and formed it into a circle and applied it to some Scor-Pal Tape...have to say if you want strong tape, goods lands it's great.

So that wraps up my Bingo Box....It's ready to pop a gift card or a small trinket inside and pass it along to a friend.

Be sure to check back this weekend as I have a great layout to share.

Hugs,
