"A Gift"

I have been dying to scrap lately! Last week I had one day off, I went to an EKG training for two days, and it was my weekend to work. I finally have some scrappy time! Best part -- my EKG training was in the city that has the *BEST* scrapbook/crafts store ever. It is called Crafts Direct and it seems really similar to the Crafts Warehouse that many of you speak about! Needless to say, I spent A LOT of money.

I did this LO for the current sketch challenge at Lets Get Sketchy! In order to be entered in their drawing you have to participate in two of their 4 sketches per month and I had only done 1 -- So I figured I should get on this one!

First off, I used Basic Grey's Plumeria line for this one! I don't usually tend to like many Basic Grey lines, but seeing this one in person (and many others), I really like it! I also like that it allowed me to fussy cut -- which I love! It is hard to tell, but on the fussy cut flowers I used my stickles to add some sparkle. I got a few of the stickles when they first came out, but I have hardly used them. Crafts Direct also had a large selection of the Prima flowers and after seeing them in person, I fell in love. I thought this was the perfect page to add them to! I was also able to add some MME stickers that matched well. TFL!

This turned out beautifully Andrea!! I am glad you got some time to scrap and to scrappy shop!! My LSS had the Plumeria line and Konnichiwa line and I bought the Konnichiwa. I think it has some fun papers and can't wait to use them!! I LOVE your fussy cutting on this and the distressing around the edges of your papers!! :)
