~Layout and Blessings Box - Donna Salazar~

Hi Everyone!! Mandy here, and I'm back with a quick little post to show you a layout and a box I altered using Donna's products!!  I made both of these to send to Donna for CHA. 

 

This is a little blessings box I did for one of my daughters.  I have done a few in the past and I usually have a slot where you can slip in little notes with blessings written on them, however, I didn't do that with this one. I figured the lid slips on and off easy enough. 

 

This is a layout I created of my 15 year old daughter.  I was so excited to send this project to Donna, that I totally forgot to take close up shots of it.  :(

~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!!
