Roll the Dice February: State Fair Time

Happy Valentine's Day!  I hope you are off to a sweet start on your day!  We are Rolling the Dice at Paper Issues today and Rachel rolled 5 photos and 3 circles.

I went with Sweet Nothings by Fancy Pants Designs to celebrate this day of LOVE!  This page documents a trip to the MN State Fair.  We love the fair food and the Super Slide!

I went with a banner style layout design to incorporate 5 little pictures in a way different than I normally do--use a photo collage print!  The scraps and strips of Fancy Pants Sweet Nothings paper came in handy to cut at a diagonal and layer!  I added pop dots under them to add dimension above the bold stripe FP paper!

 I played by the original roll and only used three circles!  The rest were the awesome puffy sticker hearts that I absolutely love!  They are so much fun to sprinkle all over!  The black puffy alpha stickers are a classic font that is so pretty!

I added a few bits of ephemera and sprinkled India ink all around the background.  It's the fair--it better have  a fun vibe to it!

We are looking forward to your creative ways to sneak in 5 photos and 3 or more circles.  I hope you play along with Rachel and Roll the Dice!  Post your new projects between now and March 5th to have an entry at the PI gift cards.

 Don't forget Friday, Feb 17th is another edition of Scrap n Chat on Facebook!  We are excited to see you online!  Make plans to chat it up, play the game and complete the challenge!

Have you checked out all of the new bliss in the PI store?  I am loving all of the new things that Cassie has in stock!

New Issue: Let's Play Post Office-Happy Mail

It's a new issue at Paper Issues called "Let's Play Post Office!"  I have had this sweet picture of Evan and his sweet letter that he received from Wilson Sports after sending a letter for a 5th grade project.  It was so awesome that the president of the company responded and sent him an awesome basketball.I used Fancy Pants Designs Sweet Nothings for this issue--how perfect is the letter paper and the ephemera that says Happy Mail?!  The stamps, the letters, the mailbox--all begging to be part of this project!

A few close ups to show the details:

The puffy stickers and ephemera are faves! This journaling card was part of a cut apart page and it was perfect for telling this story.

The puffy alpha are glossy and the perfect font! Love the look of the tone on tone.

 The puffy stickers set has many images, icons, and words to use.  The puffy heart stickers were a favorite of mine.

The patterned papers in Sweet Nothings can be used for so much more than just Valentine's Day. I hope this design helped to show it can work for many things and even to document a boy getting some amazing mail!

Have a great day!  I hope you will play along this month with this new issue at PI.  We'd love to see how you interpret the new theme and ideas!  If you haven't looked at the Paper Issues store, go check out all that is new!  Save 20% with my code.
