Make a Wish

Hey there! I've got my game on this month and am on top of my blogging. All that really means is I've been scrapping and that's been fun! 

Today I played along with the Paper Issues Bossy Scrapper challenge using the April Swag Bag. 

Here is what the Bossy Scrappers told us to use today:

Here's the deal. If you don't know or have never used a Swag Bag, you are missing out. It is pure genius. It is a small kit filled with 4x6 & 3x4 pieces of current patterned paper, as well as a variety embellishments, and sometimes special surprises! I love them.  I've used it for two projects already!

So let's talk about this one. When I opened my Swag Bag, I saw all the bright colors and some birthday themed stuff. I grabbed a piece of patterned paper that coordinated with the bright colors. I laid out 6 of the 3x4 pieces, overlapping in places. See how cool that looks? They all coordinate! So easy! I took out my fringe scissors to add some more party flavor. That was the perfect touch. Everything else on the page is also straight out of the Swag Bag. I stamped on the polka dots. I cut the banner in half, using it in 2 places. The Make a Wish is the pre-made title, the file tab is over the photos and there are pieces of ephemera and stickers as well.

I opened a box of childhood photos and came across this one of my 9th birthday. This was the year of the dress up game, and finally a year without a clown cake. 

Thanks so much for stopping by my creative view today. I have a lot more to share this month so come back again soon. Need some inspiration? Amy Tangerine and Elle's Studio have arrived in the Paper Issues shop. They are 20% off using DEVRA at checkout.
