Scrap Your Story - This is Forever

Its Friday! Another reveal day at Scrap Your Story! The challenge this week is to use any sort of embossing on your layout! It can be dry or heat embossed.. just use embossing. To be honest.. it scared me! I have a Big Shot with some embossing folders and I have ink, a heat gun, and one little thing of embossing powder. Safe to say that I usually only use the embossing folders if I make cards (which isn't much) and I never use the embossing powder!

I stepped out of my comfort zone and decided to try out the embossing powder on a scratch piece of paper. It worked well! I have seen a lot of heat embossing in the scrapbook world lately and I would like to get more into it. I think I am going to order some of the American Crafts Zing embossing powders so that I have more fun colors to choose from! :)

The only powder I had was a silver which I thought would go well with this wedding photo of mine. I used February's Studio Calico kit to create this layout and I used an older studio calico heart arrow stamp to create the embossed arrows!

Here is a close up of the embossed arrows, as well as my layers and clusters.

I think that it turned out well! Be sure to play along with the challenge this week! 

Love this Life

The second layout that I completed today comes from a challenge at Two Peas in a Bucket. It was a color challenge to use red, teal, and gray. Besides the background paper (which I love and have one more of), everything else was scraps! 

I finally decided I should start scrappin' SOME of the photos from my wedding weekend that aren't professional (since I haven't gotten those back yet). These photos are from our rehearsal. It was fun to look through my supplies and find the things that matched these colors! I am likely to use these colors again.. they look cool together! TFL!
