Hope you are enjoying all the new releases and beautiful project by our wonderful Design Team.  When I saw those pretty ballet shoes, I knew I had to have that set.  My daughter started taking dance when she was 4 (she's know 37)!  

To start my layout I used Martha Stewart scalloped punch and punched around the page.  I did not want a perfect punch, instead I wanted a mess punch.  The edges were inked with brown ink. I prepped my page with gesso before starting my page and let it dry.   Using a pink gelato randomly on the page for some soft color.   Next I laid my floral stencil on top and covered with embossing paste.  Removed the stencil and covered with Sparkling Snow glitter. A second stencil was placed down and stenciled using blue ink with a sponge dauber.

My photo was layered with dollies, tag, and different DP.  

For those pretty slippers, I stamped them with black ink and colored with copic markers.  Brushable Glue was placed on the slippers and Petal Soft flocking was applied.  For the ribbons Bubblegum glitter was added using a glue pen.  They were then fussy cut out and placed on the page with pop dots.

Here you can see a closer look at the background.  The orchid was die cut using a Spellbinders die.  A small amount of colors was added to the flower using copic markers.  Using brushable glue and a small paint brush Sparkling Snow glitter was added to the edges of the orchid. The letters are from Tim Holtz. 

The sentiment was stamped with black ink.  Small rhinestones were randomly placed on the page, as well as dots White Opal Liquid Pearls. 

The butterfly is a stamp from My Rose Garden.  The background paper was created using gelatos and water.  Once the paper had dried I stamp the butterfly and fussy cut out.  Sparkling Snow glitter was added to the edge of the wings.

Hope you have enjoyed my layout, I really had fun putting it together.  Here is a little sneak peek of a layout to come using only the sentiment of the Ballet Stamp Set.  I hope you will come back by to see the entire layout!!

Wonder which Designer contains the Grand Prize this month?

Hope you are all enjoying all the new releases!!  I used the digital version of Magic of the Season on this layout.  Here is a look at my layout!

Using DP and distressing it with gesso to create the background for this layout.  To create the pretty snowflakes I used a stencil and embossing paste.  Before the paste was dry Diamond Dust glitter was added to create some "Sparkle".  Once the paste is dry I traced around the snowflake with a pencil.  Bling was added using Mon Ami Gabby Diamond Mesh.

Mask the photo and stamp around it with the new Wonky Line Background stamp with black ink.  Next I stamped images from the Journal Mixed Media stamp set with green ink around the page.

I layered the photo with a frame cut from my Silhouette and glittered it using Waterfall glitter.  Dolly and strips of DP were layered under the photo.  They were all distressed using gesso.  The snowflakes was glittered using Silver Dreams glitter.
 

The edges of the page was distressed and a small piece of punched paper was added  underneath the page.  I added a tag for that all important journaling.

Chevron stencils were used with ink and embossing paste.

The scalloped border was cut and embossed using Anna Griffin folders and dies.

The image and sentiment was printed and colored using copic markers.  Glitter was added to the image using a glue pen and Fire Engine Red, Spirited Green, Evening Glow, Sparkling Snow glitter.  Around the top of the hat Twinkling Cloud was added.
