I definitely need some practice coloring a night sky though!

So have you heard that we had the privilege of doing a product swap with Scrapbook Adhesives?  We received some awesome products to play with and I used several of them on this project.

 
I used both the 3D Foam Squares and the E-Z Squares Adhesives on my project!

Papertake Weekly - Soooo Girly and an album designed by Frand Garcia!!


Hi everyone!! It's time for a new challenge at Papertake Weekly, and this week the challenge is soooooo girly!! I don't think that one needs any further explanation, does it??!  We are sponsored this week by our very own Mary and Andrea at The Ribbon Girl! So much yumminess to be had in their shop!!

Speaking of yumminess, I had the most amazing class from Frank Garcia w/Prima this month!! We made some of the most exquisite albums ever!! That man has so much talent and he is SO sweet and kind!!! We do indeed love him and I can't wait until he comes back again!! This is one of the albums we created, and if this doesn't fit our challenge, I don't know what would!!  Frank not only designed the pages in the book, but he also designed  the book itself which we built from scratch with chipboard and cardstock!!  It was a six hour class if that tells you anything! :)  Thank you Frank Garcia!!  If you click on his name, you'll go to his blog where you can see pictures of our classes here in Reno (yep----that's my clock in the picture!! can you see the grin on my face right now from where you are???)   And while you're there, don't forget to do yourself a favor and follow him!! So here's a look at the amazing cover!



Yummy, right???  Please pop over to Papertake Weekly to check out all the wonderful projects from the design team, and then we'd love it if you'd grab your paper and glue and play along with us! Thanks for stopping by to see me today and hope to see you back again soon! Hugs!
