A little bit of this and that...

Had alot of fun working on the assignment for Made With Love this weekend - couldn't decide on a layout so made two with the papers given. For this week had to work with Bella Blvd (have to admit this is my first time) and was wondering at first how to pull this off. The colors were so rich and bright (abit brighter than what I am used to), but once I got started well... guess you can figure out the rest...

For the first one, just had fun with all the colors and labels from the bella blvd flirty and plastino collection. Add in the butterfly stamp for a bit of shabby chic feel... (stamp is from purple onion).

For the second one, went a bit crazy with all the new primas (who can resist right?)... and also the tim holtz crackle paint, especially the rock candy color - clear one used on the green frame (thanks sharon for recommending this - having a blast!). Also got out the glimmer mist and misted everywhere, including the prima flowers... and yes, i know... once i started with the butterflies, just couldn't stop...
