Whoo's the Cutest? **Paper House & Tattered Angels**

This past summer we went to visit my mother and she gave my daughter her first tea set and a cute little costume of fairy wings, tutu, and flower headband.  On went the costume in two seconds and she ripped open the tea set in 1 second, she was super excited.  We set her up outside on a little table, and Catherine promptly went in the house to get her "baby" and set her up to have tea at the table.  We used the pool water as the "tea" and she poured everyone cups of "tea", added "milk", and was the cutest little hostess ever.  Even her older brother Brandon started to play too pretending to sip the tea, fetching more "tea" from the pool, and just pretending right along with her.  Such a cute little moment I had to capture it.


I used the wonderful paper and stickers from Paper House to create this layout.  They are just too cute and sweet, perfect for this little moment.  I played with the theme of the owl from the 12x12 paper, pulling all the owl stickers from various collections (Cork'd, Puffy, 3D, and Diecut) and then using the 8x8 Little Girl paper pad for the layers to create this sweet layout.

Inspire **Tattered Angels & ULD & Imagiantion Crafts**

For the past couple of years my parents have bought us a box of really yummy chocolates for the family and it comes in this wonderful hinged box.  I have kept the boxes with the hopes of doing something with it for the past two years, and finally the inspiration hit - mixed media box!!  I really just let my imagination fly on this one.



For steps on how I made this wonderful mixed media box please see my guide below using the wonderful Tattered Angels Glimmer Mists, Glimmer Glam, and High Impact Paints, Unique Laser Designs wood, and Imagination Crafts Stencils, Sparkle Medium, and Mica Powder.
   

I just love the wood items from Unique Laser Designs and how they just make the box pop and add wonderful dimension to everything.  Here are the pieces I used for this project.

I used the wonderful stencils from Imagination Crafts, they added the perfect texture to the box.  Adding to it the wonderful Mica Powders and Sparkle Medium helped make this box just shine!!

I used some of the wonderful paints, mists, and glazes from Tattered Angels to help create the dimension and depth for this box.  I used a wide range for products all in the colors of blue and purple.
