Just a few of my February creations!!!

Hey Scrap this kit ladies!!! So I am not late to the reveal party now am I??? I was having a little party with the family, one of my babies turned 8 years old today and wow - time is a flying!!!!! So how is 2010 going for everyone?? Getting a lot of scrapping done?? Thank You Tami for asking me to work with the kit again!! This is my first kit of the new year and what fun - who does not love Prima??? I love it and wow all the bling and the fun colors and well I am all about colors and fun!!!!! Today I am here to share the first 2 things I did with all this yummy goodness that Tami picks out!!!

First I just took a few photos of a simple~quick~technique that I usually always apply to my Layouts! I love dimension and texture - I think both of those elements always adds so much to a layout! and there are so many easy ways to add a little pop or crinkle here and there to give paper or embellishments some extra personality.

Here is my trusty fiskars finger cutter, I love this tool! It is so handy for cutting things out of paper. so here I was cutting out a flower shape.

above shows the paper just cut out and flat.....but if you just run your fingers around the edges of the flower, you can give it some curl or dimension, a little bend or whatever - there really is no wrong or right, just play with it! So now I have given the flower some texture and it's ready to mat behind my nice Prima flower! which just makes a nice additional layer to the page.

Now I have a nice layer of Prima pearls, papercut-out flower and the Bright Yellow Prima for a nice cluster. the playful accents are perfect for these beach photos of my Nieces! Love the fun pom pom trim! And the Red letters are soooo cute - they have little hearts on them!!!!!

and on this Layout of my nieces and nephews - I just crinkled the edge of my paper mat all the way around with my finger, very simple..again no rhyme or reason to it - but it gives the page that extra dimension and you aren't lost with the flatness.

that's all for now, I'll be back this week with some more fun!
