Hey everyone!

Welcome to the reveal of Scrap That!'s September "Birdsong" kit, as well as our great blog hop!

If you have just arrived here from Ivana's Blog you are in the correct place! If not, head back to the Scrap That! blog for the blog hop order and links.
Today I’m going to share with you my project using the Scrap That! Exclusive Pion Design “Birdsong” Kit.

Here is my first layout.

The papers in this kit are beautiful, shabby chic and soooo gorgeous, from PION Design.

Here is a closeup, beautiful pearl swirl bling, included in the kit.

As for my 2nd layout(my fave). Lots of layers and flowers. The photo is of my husband and I during our engagament photo session. Love this picture!

We also received a bottle of silver liquid pearls, that stuff is amazing! Great, quick way to add dimension to your layout.

Check out the gorgeous Dusty Attic Music border{DA0351} that comes in the kit.

As well as the beautiful Prima blooms! Who isnt a sucker for Prima blooms?!

Lastly, I created a card using my scraps. I had made a 3rd layout, but are you ready for this?! READY????...my dog ate it! No seriously, my stinkin' dog demolished my project which the cats mustve knocked off the table. =( Never thought I would use that excuse as an adult..but my time has come. lol So it left me to create a card in place of the layout. =)

Stuck?! Sketch Reveal-final Stuck?! Sketch layout

So it is with a heavy heart that I share my last Stuck?! sketch layout...

BUT what better way to close my term with them then to do it with a sketch created by ME!! Yup my very first sketch!!

Check this baby out!
Yup--I created that! Took me FOREVER too lol...trying to figure out Photoshop to try to add all the layers--oh BIG HEADACHE! lol but I loved the result.

And here is the layout that I created to represent it. =)

Chalk full of Prima, of course!

For the Dusty Attic{Wrought Iron Trim, DA0547), I inked it brown first then dabbed turquoise paint lightly o

ver some areas.

Be sure to check the Stuck?! blog, they just announced their new Creative Team!

Lastly, I'd like to say thank you to Sara(creator of Stuck?! for giving the great opportunity to create with ur sketches for 2 terms. Its been an amazing adventure!

Altered Jewelry Box

Let's start off by saying that- I am NOT a big person on altering items. Especially drastic alterations-I'd rather sit there and cut papers with my "little scissors"(as my co-worker would tease me about.) Well a few days ago, I decided hmmm I am going to buy an undressed small jewelry box to keep on the dresser, where I can keep my wedding rings and watch, which I use EVERYDAY. So i went to work on it...

And after hrs....of playing with this little round box...I stepped back and said "ok here she is!!"...

Ready...?

Here she is!!!..

I used Bo Bunny's Timepiece collection.

I embellished the lid with a few things, metal touches, softness from a Prima flower and some beautiful Dusty Attic wings(Wings #2, DA0500).
