For this blog hop we are using our stash of scrapbooking products that came out before the last CHA (Craft And Hobby Association Trade Show).  I thought I would use some of my Bella Blvd. stash of papers (Lucky Starz Collection) and several Bella Blvd. embellishments as well as some flair buttons from A Flair For Buttons.  

 My son Clayton was two years old when we adopted our cat Asia.  She was also two years old and had been in a no kill shelter.

The poor kitty had been in a cage for 5 months and our family chose her to come home with us.  Clayton and Asia had a special bond since Clayton's siblings were grown up and married it was like his little sister.

Thanks for hopping by! Now it's on to Alison's blog.  I'm sure she has an awesome project to share.

Play Layout For A Flair For Buttons

Hello friends!  Happy Thursday!  Today I wanted to share a layout I created with some awesome flair buttons from A Flair For Buttons  and lots of papers and embellishments from the new Fancy Pants Designs Office Suite Collection.  I am loving the gold trend and the soft color palette of this collection.

In my stash of flair, I found three flair buttons that I thought would be perfect for this layout.  I wanted it to be fun and playful just like these two sisters were. I placed them on the layout to create a visual triangle.

I added some sewing machine stitching to add some interest and texture and made the paper bow below with my We R Memory Keepers Envelope Punch Board.
