more AC love...

funny how when I first started this layout... I never thought it would end up being a 2pager. I just had too too many pictures to include... and once again, lovin the gorgeous bright colors of this collection - heat wave - from american crafts!!! I really want to go back to that beach... it's been along along time since I've seen something that crystal blue and gorgeous.... @ "squeaky beach"



I know that clouds aren't suppose to be yellow - but I'm still addicted to that yellow maya mist and got out my embossing powder for this too...



and another gorgeous stamp from stampingbella for the note pad - I think this is my favorite one - added abit of burlap string for more texture... isn't it cute!!


supplies used include:
cardstock, pattern paper, embossing powder, flair, leather embellishments, buttons, chipboard alphas: american crafts; brads: bazzill basics; punch: martha stewart; mist (sunflower), chipboard accents: maya road

and also... I just got the creating keepsake magazine yesterday.... and guess what (although I think everyone has seen it except for me) but I got PUBLISHED!!!! YES! YES! YES! This is my FIRST time ever getting published!! (and double published tooo)

... and hope you guys don't mind if I share this... newbie excitement!!!
