For The Love Of Paper!!!

One of my favorite thing to do is create with paper!  I pretty sure that is what got me in to scrapbooking to begin with.  I think its fun and challenging to take a sheet of paper and create a dimensional and unique embellishment.  With just a little time and patience you can create so many of your own home made embellishments!

Today I want to share a layout with you that I made with ALL paper with the exception of 1 button.

 Here you can see I took circles and folded them in until the sides met in the center to create this green boarder.  I then cut circles in half and fan folded them to create the flower.

I use a veriety of circle and scalloped punches to along with pop-dots to created this layered flower.  Finally at the top I cut circles in haft and lined them up edge to edge with pop-dots on the back side.


Here is a second layout that is almost all paper!

 With this layout I cut random size strip of paper and glued them to the back ground paper.  Then I cut out a large paper heart from my cricut and laid it on top of my strips of paper and then applied glimmer mist to the whole page.  once it was well misted I removed the large paper heard and where it laid on the page their was no mist the original paper colors showed through.  Next I stitched the outline of the heart shape to help it sand out more.

Make things with paper is very easy and very good for your scrap stash!
