XOXO Challege #15

This month's XOXO challenge has gone live. The sponsor is Sweet Peach Crop Shop who offers 3 different kits each month.

My layout for January consists of SEI's Bridgeport papers and a bunch of Prima and SEI flowers. There are elements from Creative Imaginations, chipboard stickers from Making Memories and pearls from KaiserCraft.  Letters are from American Craft. Also I used a Brother label maker to create the text. To pull it together, I inked the label with the blue color to match the layout. If you ink a label, let it dry for a few minutes before handling. Even if you are impatient like me, you actually won't pull a lot of ink onto your fingers while peeling off the backing. And if you do, just smudge a little around to cover up. It won't look like a mistake. . . I promise.

SEI inspired magnets

I sped through and did three more magnets using SEI's Auntie Gertie's Garden. I knew that using the resin would darken the papers but I hadn't used Prima flowers under the resin before to know that they would turn translucent. 

Since I had the rest of my SEI collection out, I did a quick layout using the Chick-a-doo line and American Crafts Thickers.

And finally a little bit of Fancy Pants. I find myself putting layouts together a lot of the times without a photo or a theme because I don't want to edit or print photos. So that is why I have about 40 layouts unfinished. Since I can't explain why I do the things I do (it's probably OCD), the habit will continue on. . . .
