Imagine Crafts, Authentique and May Arts Blog Hop

,AP_MayArts_Badge Welcome to a crafting extravaganza all week featuring myself and other Artists In Residence from IMAGINE Crafts, along with the Design Team Members of Authentique Paper and May Arts Ribbon.    

I'm so happy to be blog hopping with one of my favorite paper companies Authentique, and too pair it up with the beautiful ribbons from May Arts. Of course the cherry on top was using the awesome shimmer sprays and inks from Imagine Crafts. So I couldn't stop at just one project, so today I made a cute little book and two cards.

Let's get started-
1. First I choice my paper and ink colors to match. I than die cut the paper and put chipboard between the pages, adhere it with Creative Medium. I love using Creative Medium because it holds so well and it never leaves a residue. I than inked the edges of the pages and sprayed with Fireworks and Goosebumps. 
2. I picked what paper would be the cover, layed out my design. Added some flowers, which I inked and sprayed to match.


3. Needed a few more touches!

4. For the inside of the book, I sprayed the pages and inked the edges. Picked out the photos, added some fun stickers and diecuts from the matching embellishment sets. Made some bows and had fun decorating the pages.
