Las Vegas or BUST {A 12x12}

Last week I got to share a layout on the Helmar Blog. This is what our uHaul looked like when we moved in 2012 from Gillette to Las Vegas! I took this opportunity to use the UmWowStudio June Sketch Challenge as well! (Check it out on the sidebar)

I got to use TONS of products by my favorite companies on this baby... UmWowStudio Chevron Arrow (Just the tail), Pieces and bits from a Gauche Alchemy Kit, Tattered Angels glimmer mist, seed beads, an epoxy brad, my label maker. The likes! 

I'm sharing this here today though to show this:

I used Gauche Alchemy's Punchinella has a mask and some Liquid Scrap Dots by Helmar as the medium... right as I laid down the glue I applied micro beads, seed beads and the likes to it, then let it dry for 48 hours. I LOVE IT!! The ink is Glimmer Mist. 

I'll be linking this baby up to the Paper Issues link up for the Persnickety Prints Issue.

Happy Birthday {A card by DeeDee}

Hey folks :) Just me today! 

I thought I'd share with you a card I created for Paper Craft's Gallery Idol! 

The open auditions were for Birthday cards for kids or teens. I thought this piece would totally appeal to a young lady :) 

I used UmWowStudio star confetti, Happy Birthday by VLVS!, Carta Bella cardstock, plain white cardstock, an American Crafts pearl brad, ranger archival ink, three ribbons by May Arts, cheesecloth, Zap Dots and Fabric Glue by Helmar.

Sheer Box Pleat in Ivory

and

White Crinkle

It's made from Echo Park's for the record cardstock and cardstock stickers. I also used Prima flowers, a My Mind's Eye brad, tissue tape from Teresa Collins, a stamp from Viva Las VegaStamps!, and a black pen.

Here's a closeup of the box pleat:
