let your imagination soar...

Today, I got to play with my new Gingerbread die cuts by Quickutz, and my gorgeous new scrapbook paper - Que Sera Sera by K&Company.  It's double-sided and so rich in texture.  I found a few images in an old antiques magazine from 1964, and put those in.... plus the beautiful birds that Deedee cut out for me with from her Cricut - Heritage Cartridge - from the glossy paper with alcohol inks (you can see them in progress a few posts back.).  My oldest daughter worked on her own scrapbook, while I cut and played.  The twins played with their doll house and played lots of hide and seek.  It's been a rainy, thunder storm, crazy - stay inside if at all possible - kind of days.  Those are the perfect kind of days to let your imagination soar.

Scrapbook page with flowers

Here's the scrapbook page I made with the vintage photos of the girls and some flower clouds I made.  I just love the distress inks, glitter glue, and glitter mist.  Wowie wow wow.  You can use them very subtle, and completely change the look of your page!  This page feels a whole lot like one of my journal pages.

Today scrappage began....

What a great day.  Deedee Garcia and Angela Meijer (hereafter "we") were having a garage sale over at Deedee's house.  We decided to make collages and art journals at the garage sale, and got to creative brainstorming.  We were selling a bunch of scrapbook embellishments and collage cards, and we decided that we seriously need an etsy shop to sell all of our scrapbook and collage goods.  We've been getting together to do creative stuff together, and so we decided that we should start selling it all too.  The name of our shop is a combination of scrap, page and collage.... and it's pronounced the French way.  That way, you can hear the collage part of the name!  Spread the word and come back and visit lots and lots.  We plan to keep it full of all kinds of goodies and we'll photograph our creative sessions too.  We're going to fill our shop with supplies for your own creations, fun collage/scrappage artwork, and lots and lots of bling.

After our garage sale, we went to the scrapbook store in here in Ankeny, and spent our garage sale earnings on new arts and craft supplies.  Fun Fun Fun.
