I {Heart} you! | The Flamingo Chronicals: I {Heart} you!

I {Heart} you!

Well, Fat Tuesday is coming to a close. 
Did you celebrate it up in style?
We went all crazy here and had brownie ice cream sundaes for dessert!
Yes, we are wild people here, I know :o)

Tonight I have a layout that took forever to make.
And my fingers are still sore.
I am using the challenges from
Frosted Designs - brads / eyelets
Bird Is The Word - The word "Heart"

My papers are Basic Grey. I used my Cricut to cut the heart. Then I spent FOREVER putting all those 
little brads around the edge of it. Everything else on this LO came from my embellie drawer. 
It is all stuff I have had forever, little odds and ends left over from other projects.
I am determined to use up the stuff I have on hand!!
The only new items on the page is the little white clothes pin on the edge of the photo,
and the K&Co die cut that is under the line of embellishments!

Want to see how many brads that took???
Well, this is how many brads I started with

The Fabulous Friday Challenge over at Frosted Designs is all about using up what you have.
So I got out all my white brads and dumped them on the plate. 
I even sorted the white ones out of all those red/white/blue combos packs I have had for a while.
I used all but about 20 of these brads!!

Please be sure to stop by Bird is the word and Frosted Designs 
to check out the fun challenges going on.
Have a great week!
