Crate Paper's Shine by Tammy Klingner

Happy Friday Everyone!   This week I had a play with Crate Paper's Shine Range by Maggie Holmes. I adore Crate Paper, but often miss out on their embellishments. So I decided to just have a play with their papers, and add other embellishments. You may have worked out by now that I love mixing ranges!   I began by swiping gesso over my background striped paper.   I then added some spritz, and then a few strips of the various papers from the range. I added my photos, in a cluster over these, focusing on one side of the paper, as I wanted to ensure I left enough space for my title and journaling.  

  I then had a blast with 2 Crafty Chipboard.  I went with a circular theme, and painted them in colours that matched the papers.  I added a few swipes of black and white as well, as I wanted them to look a bit 'arty' and not too perfect.   I then added some word stickers, my title, and some flicks of spritz/paint.  

  This was a fun page, with some selfie photos my girl took on my phone! What can I say? She really shouldn't do that, cause she knows I'm gonna print them and scrap them! (insert evil laugh here).  

  I also decided to create a Project Life spread using this range. I'm really enjoying creating a weekly spread from the leftovers.  Plus it has the bonus of keeping me kind of up to date!  I think I've mentioned before how I got really behind last year (like 5 months), and playing catch up nearly killed me!  So this year I'm determined to keep up. I'm happy to say, I'm only a few weeks behind.   Here's the left side:

  I love the colours in this range, and I especially love the black and white stripe paper!   I find it really draws my eye into the design.   See you next week!
