Beach Babies | The Flamingo Chronicals: Beach Babies

Beach Babies

Hello to all my blogging friends!
I am finally unpacked from retreat last weekend and ready to create again!

Today I have a layout I made with new papers from Authentique. Is there anybody who does
not love their stuff???? All of these papers, die cuts and ribbons are available at The Crafty Scrapper so be sure to stop by and get yours.

How fabulous are these colors??? Makes me want to run back to the beach right now!!!
I have also used chipboard from Dusty Attic and Unique Pages, Jenni Bowlin paint, WOW Embossing powders (which are THE BOMB if you have never tried them) Tsukineko inks, Bazzill Raven cardstock, Tim Holtz dies, paper doileys from the craft store, and some other random things.


 Dig the WOW embossing powder. I painted and while the paint was still wet, I sprinkled the powder on randomly. I used the heat gun to melt the powder and dry the paint.

The die cut sheet in the paper line is awesome,, I don't generally like those, but this one is great.
All the words around the outside of the page came from the one die cut sheet!!! 

I have used the sketch over at Sketches in Thyme
Instead of the circle, I used the big square doiley that I cut the center out of 
and put around the layout.

I am also linking up at the following challenges:
Divas By Design - Anything goes
Catered Crop - Ruffles (my ruffled ribbon)
Make It Monday - any papercraft project

Thanks so much for stopping by today!
Have a wonderful week :o)
