New Fancy Pants and Simple Stories!

I am so so excited about the new Fancy Pants and Simple Stories releases!

Fancy Pants does it again with 3 bright collections and TONS of embellishments for each line!  Check them out HERE.

And the Simple Stories DIY idea is just so awesome.  Basically, there are a ton of different "layers" that you can add together to create interesting clusters for your pages.  There are kraft and "office" print patterns, paired with the bright colors of the DIY Boutique collection of papers.  Layers include tags, journaling spots, labels, die cuts, envelopes, chipboard, brads, enamel dots, and more!  Here is the link in the store:  Simple Stories.

Have you been playing around with the sketches on the sketch blog lately??  Tammi does such a fantastic job with the sketches!!! I love using them as starting points on my page! Check out this weeks sketch!

I got to use some of the Crate Paper Maggie Holmes Styleboard on this page. At first, this was one of those collections that I wasn't too sure about, but when I saw it in person, I LOVED it!



With this Crate Paper line (and the others in this release, too) there are some awesome embellishments like die cuts and vellum, PLUS a lot of gold foil accents, which I LOVE!  The polka dots on the background of this page are actually gold foil, but don't photograph that way.


                    

I lightly brushed some gesso on the background with a dry brush and then stitched a circle to anchor the photo.  The white thread wasn't standing out enough for me, so I traced it in some spots with a white pen.
