Escaping the Mundane!

Hi Everyone!
Happy Friday! I've been working on some projects and after spending time with them I realized they are not my best work..

My question for you is what do you do with work that you are not happy with? Do you chuck it, give it to someone else, or bury it in the album and move on?

I am sharing the layout with you and the steps I took to create it.


Here is the Recipe:

Provo Craft Cricut Expression, Cricut  Gypsy, Pattern Paper, Home Decor Cricut, Storybook, Plantin Schoolbook, Graphically Speaking, Sentimentals  Cartridges, Gypsy Font, Cuttlebug Machine, holly ribbon folder, fast finish liquid laminate, 3in 1 beacon adhesive, Foofala buttons,Stickles,Basic Grey Button, K&Company pattern paper, Pink Paislee Stamps. Martha Stewart stamps, Staz on ink, Coredination Cardstock.

Let's Cut:

Cut 2 Chandeliers from Home Accent at 4.5 and 3.75 inches with 1 shadow, ink the edge with Copic Marker, add Stickles let dry and adhere to shadow.

Cut border Plantin Schoolbook at 5.5 inches, ink the edges, cut the title Escape.

Cut 2 labels from Storybook at 2.75, and 3 at 2.25 inches, ink the edges.

Cut 1 swirl from Graphically Speaking
Cut 1 Butterfly from Sentimentals at 3 inches, ink the edges
Cut Scallop from Gypsy Font at 2.75 inches, ink the edges

Let's assembled:

Adhere the pattern paper 6x12 on Coredination Cardstock, then add the border at 7 inches to the right, then add the other pattern paper cut at 6x6.
Adhere the Chandeliers with the shadow to the left of the top grid, then add the other Chandelier to the left, add Scallop Oval then pop  the brad onto  the center of the butterfly, add onto the scallop, using the tip below.

Tip Instead of using pop dot, use the white strip that most scrapbook papers come with by folding it onto a square and glue to achieve the height.
adhere the buttons, stamp flower in between.

Add title under the butterfly and Voila Done!

What are your plans for the weekend?

Have a great one,
Maggie

PS remember I told you I was reading the Girl with the dragon tattoo, I had to put it down, it was too thrilling and I was reading it so fast, I needed to slow down, instead I'm currently reading this new book..

Days of Gold by Jude Deveraux, yep every now and then I find a regency  intrigue romance that is kewl..
