Practical Scrappers/Paper Secrets Blog Hop


Welcome to the Practical Scrappers/Paper Secrets Blog Hop!  You should have arrived here from the talented Kerri Yarus's blog but if you get lost along the way, you can start at the Practical Scrappers blog.  For this blog hop, we are featuring the Ten Things Team from Practical Scrappers as well as members from the Design Team at Paper Secrets. Our topic for this hop is a fun, trendy one that will definitely catch your attention: wood! There is a  prize pack of assorted wood embellishments to give away and you can get all the details on that below, but first here's the list for the hop!
Practical Scrappers - If you get lost along the way, start back here
Lee-Anne Thornton - That's me!

For my layout, I created a mixed media layout and I gathered some popsicle sticks and cut them to look like a picket fence and then used some Tim Holtz Distress Paint in Weathered Wood to give them the shabby look.


I also used my Silhouette Cameo to cut out a wave background to use as a stencil to create my "waves" and lots of Prima flowers and Heidi Swapp Color Shine Mists.  Here are some more detailed photos:

  1. Hey Lee-Anne, just found your blog... LOVE what you created here and the stencil you cut with your Silly machine... did you cut on paper and how did it stand up to being gessoed... I have just downloaded some layers and was wondering what to cut them on... I have the very first Silly machine when it was still craft Robo.... fabulous layout.
