I am sooo thrilled to be back this month. This is the first time in months that I have played with paper, paint, and anything crafty, and it just felt great. :)) Trust me when I say that the DT has knocked this reveal out of the park, honestly, I just can't get over how we all get the same kit and come up with completely, and totally, different projects!! ENJOY!

 "12"

A project about my girl, that one who is in junior high, who has her ups and downs, who is sometimes unsure of herself, but always and forever, beautiful. :) Love my Ahna.

  I fussy cut like crazy (I mean after all, it had been MONTHS, lol) , layering, framing, and of course adding some color with paint.

 "Xander 'Suger Dumplin' Kelley"

Seriously. This child's face. :) Even my three year old boy can't resist his brother, having dubbed him "Sugar Dumplin'" and it totally fits. (Especially because we call Jax "Cookie") 

 I totally dismantled the fringe in this kit, used it to frame my photo, and then brushed on a thin layer of glue onto the page and dropped the cut fringe on top. I then drizzled some gold paint, and flicked some spots everywhere of course.

 The Prima feathers were so fun to add, gave it almost a nest like feel, or perhaps a bit like an Indian Dream Catcher? (I hope so, that is what I was going for.) My hubs and kids have a bit of Cherokee Indian in them and I have never added anything like it into our pages, sooo I thought I would give it a shot!

Next up, we go wedding gift-ish. Using some of the flowers and embellies, I thought it would be pretty to dress up a simple, white, package.

Just a simple cluster, made wow with some paint splashes & flicks.

Of course, the present needed to have a card to go along with it...

After cutting the pieces of paper that I wanted for the card, I dressed up the envelope to match, simply by adding a rectangle of the paper, then splashing with paint and outlining it as well.
