Now on to my project!! I used Locker Talk, Gypsy Wanderings, & George & Basic Shapes to make my scrapbook page.  I also used patterned paper, card stock and stickles.

For the learners permit I cut it out at 4" from locker talk.  The "Way to go" was cut out at 3", and the rectangles were cut out at 5 1/4" and 7" from George & Basic Shapes.  The key was cut with silver paper from the Gypsy Wanderings cartridge using my Gypsy.  I added stickles. 
I made this page for my daughter, her favorite color is blue!! Here they get a temporary paper permit and the hard copy is mailed out later.  So I have her picture from the paper one that I am going to put on this layout.


                     So glad you visited my blog!! Hope you come back real soon!!!

Scrappy EMT design team post: Embellishments

Today's theme is Embellishments! I have so many favorite embellishments, but I thought it really wouldn't look very nice if I added EVERYTHING I liked.  So today I just picked a couple.. I really love stickles and fibers!! I also love bling and glitter!! I just used the stickles and fibers today.. Hope you like my card! Please visit the other Design Team members projects! Start at http://scrappyemt.blogspot.com


I used the Graphically Speaking cartridge, Stampin Up! cardstock, ink, and stamp; patterned paper from Me & My Big Ideas girly-girl pack, fibers from my own stash, and stickles!
