~Designers' Reveal for Scraps of Darkness~

Even though Scraps of Darkness has already revealed their kit for January, we didn't have an opportunity to reveal what the DT did, so today the DT will be posting layouts created using the January Scraps of Darkness kit called Waterways.  I created a couple pages using this beautiful kit!!

 This layout is based on the sketch created by Suepup.  I titled this with a bit of sarcasm, but all in all, I absolutely love my teenager girls!!

 Some close up shots!

 This is my youngest and I had this idea of doing an arch, but it didn't turn out the way I had seen it in my head.  I will be trying it again in the future :D

Thanks for stopping by and God Bless!!

~Frilly Border Tutorial - Donna Salazar Designs~

Hi Everyone!! I am back with a fun little tutorial that you can use for cards, layouts, atc's, etc.  I chose to make a party invite, so my tutorial is based on the dimensions of my invite.  I also used a dark marking pen so my lines were easier for you to see and normally, I would use a pencil.

~Donna Salazar Mini Gift Bags~

Hi Friends!! It's Mandy!! I'm back to show a you a couple of little gift bags I created using a bit of Donna's new papers!!  These bags measure about 3 1/4 x 5 inches and they are so much fun to make!! Sometimes I give a gift that is pretty small and a big card would over take the size of the gift, so I decorate little bags instead and they take the place of a card.  Plus the person receiving the gift has the option to reuse them if they would like!  

Thanks for stopping by!! Below you will find a list of products and links that I used for these little bags!!

~Scraps of Darkness December Kit~

I'm back with a few items I created using the Scraps of Darkness December kit.  This kit was such a pretty kit with Fall, Winter, and Christmas papers!!  This layout is of my youngest.  I think I've scrapped this pic before, but I'm not positive.  It went so well with these papers, so I wanted to use it again.

 I have a bunch of these little 5x3.5 bags that I bought for little gift bags way back when, but I was left with a few extra's so I made a couple Christmas gift bags this year.  

Thanks for stopping by and God Bless!!
