Here are a couple of pages I made with this month’s kit..

“Baby In The House”

“Happy To Learn From Tita Sonja”

There is so much in the kit! I hope you have yours already. Happy scrapping!

The butterflies here were hand cut from the Jillibean patterned paper and colored with distress inks. Yeah… distress inks are not just for distressing… you can do so much with it.

Here are a few simple steps to alter your patterned paper. You will need to hand-cut butterflies from your Jillibean patterned paper. You will also need a non-stick craft mat, at least two colors of distress inks, and a foam blending tool.

Once you have hand-cut your butterflies from the patterned paper, take your foam blending tool and dab it on to your distress ink pad. Starting from the craft mat, blend in the color with your foam blending tool going towards the center of the butterfly.

Replace your foam, and dab the foam blending tool again on another color of distress ink. Again, starting from the craft mat, blend in the color but stay only on the edges of the butterfly.

That’s it! A very simple, quick, and fun way to add more color to your pages and create cheap embellishments for your layouts and projects.

Have a great day!

Here is one layout I created for that special guy in our family…

Oh, the goodies for the July kit have started to arrive at the tree house! I can’t wait for the sneaks to begin!

I’d like to share with you a layout I made with the kit. Everything is from the kit except for the chipboard letters and buttons. I also used a Hero Arts birdhouse stamp and a Stamper’s Anonymous texture stamp…
