Cherish Your Dreams

At Paper Wings, we love to find fun new ways to make our own embellishments out of supplies we already have or unexpected household items!
For instance, this flower was made from coffee filters! Just use your scallop circle punch to punch out 8-10 pieces, crumple them up, spray with a little glimmer mist or Perfect Pearls Mist (in stock at Paper Wings), add a brad or flower center, and voila! you have a beautiful flower to embellish a layout or card!

Lucky...

I was feeling a little crafty last night and made this layout for a challenge. Journaling reads "Lucky 2 Have A Sister Like U". And how true this statement is! I am one lucky girl to have such an awesome family and scrapbooking is a great way to document these relationships. I love this picture of me and Colleen with the sunset in the background and had lots of fun creating this layout.
See the two hearts in the bottom left hand corner that are part of the little embellishment cluster? Guess what I used to make them? If you guessed Wawa coffee sleeves, then you were right! I die cut them with my Sizzix Big Shot and Sizzix Primitive Hearts die. Painted on a little Tim Holtz Embossing Crackle Paint and added a dash of Diamond Dust for a little sparkle.
That's one of the MANY things I love about my Big Shot,  you can use it to die cut so many different things from paper to fabric to metal! Love it! Don't have a Big Shot? Just let us know and we can order one for you! It's one of those "must have" tools that I can't create without!
Thanks for stopping by today.
See you at Paper Wings!
