Friends-aversary Issue: Oktoberfest

It's an annual event and this was our third year!  Oktoberfest with friends and cousins meeting up at the State Fair grounds for the big event.  Pretzel necklaces are a must!! Pebbles Girl Squad was the perfect pairing for this photo! Have you checked out the Paper Issues blog for more takes on the PI Issue for June?

A few more close ups of the pretty new collection from Pebbles!  Go grab Girl Squad for all of your fun friend events and outings.  Hello foam script Thickers...totally a need for everyone!

Add all the little bits around the photo:  Girl Squad ephemera, puffy stickers, enamel dots, Pink Paislee Paige Evan's Take Me Away paper clips, Dear Lizzy Saturday clear stickers.

Always find a spot for an ampersand, lol!  Here's a close up of the layers and the pretzel necklaces-- the whole reason I needed this Girl Squad paper.

Have a great week ahead!  Make time to do something creative!  

We look forward to seeing what fun things you create this week.

Play along with the Friend-aversary issue!

Scraplift Sunday

Today we are on the PIFF group scraplifting Elodie's beautiful stitched heart and fussy cut heart layout.  I decided to cut into my Amy Tangerine Oh Happy Life stash and created this version.

I used the embroidery kit from Amy Tangerine to poke the holes in a flower shape similar to the paper.  I then stitched the flowers with white thread.  I love the white on white look!   I filled it with flower and leaf cut outs from the Good Morning patterned paper.  

I added the Oh Happy Life clear sticker title and Amy Tangerine paper tag die cut.

I added drops of India ink, stamped the date, and called this layout done.
