Rainy Day turned productive!

What a rainy day around here!  I felt like all I wanted to do was go back to bed!  Ever have those days??  Well, I decided that I couldn't be a lazy bum all day so I got creative instead.  This is CTMH's newest paper line called 'Grace'.  I didn't like this paper at all until I started working with it and no I LOVE it.  WOW! you just never know how something is going to look until you play with it.  We will be doing this layout and these cards for club on Sunday. 

It is hard to see but I love the stitching done with waxy flax and the flourish stamps turned into hearts.  My absoulute favorite is the faux ribbon technique.  I have taken a small strip of pattered paper and then folded it to make pleats.  The result is w32wthis cute look.  So very easy to do and the results are amazingly cute!  Go try it -you'll love it too!

I think you can see the ribbon folding technique on the Left card a lot better. Also it is very hard to see on either the layout or the cards  but I have used my piercing tool to add some little 3 dot clusters various places as well as just pierced a straight like as if I were stitching.  It is the details that really make artwork and I'm all about the details! Other embellishments that I used were the Rustic edge anchors, basic buttons, and crystal blue waxy flax.

My club is open and you are able to join at any time and still receive the benefits of being a hostess.  Contact me if you'd like to be a part!  Thanks for stopping by and taking a look.
