Treasured Scrapbooking Entry

I joined Treasured Scrapbooking's website/forum/gallery, and am taking part in their annual Treasure Hunt. Everyone who entered the Eligibility Round made it through to Week 1.

The Week 1 Challenge was to create a layout following these criteria:

3 patterned papers from 3 different companies
1 sheet of cardstock
2 pictures
5 buttons
5 word title
Something handmade

Here is what I created:


I used papers from Shabby Princess, Paper Pizazz and AdornIt. The aqua paper is my cardstock, which I ran through the Cuttlebug for embossing texture. My handmade items are the flower and the flourish. I cut several sizes of flowers on my Cricut using white cardstock. Then, I glimmer misted and inked them, scrunched them up, dried them with the heat gun, glued the layers together and added a pearl. For the flourish, I used puffy paint on a transparency, using a real gem flourish as a template.

I also created these two pages just for fun :)
