Fun & Fanciful - LGC Blog Party FINAL DAY!

Hello! We've almost made it through the week - woohoo! This is also the last day of the February Lucky Girl Crafts blog party, celebrating our latest kit, "Kid at Heart". This kit is awesome, and so jammed pack that today isn't actually the last time you'll see my projects from it this month. I've got so many more to share with you, but for today, I'll give you two projects!

Before we get to my latest projects, though, have you visited the rest of the Lucky Girls? Each of them has a prize to give away, and the new team is rocking our latest kit! Be sure to check them out & give them a warm welcome - their links are in the posting above.

In the spirit of our celebration, here's a little birthday card. I love the little animals from the Prima papers, especially paired with the vintage-funk of the Echo Park patterns and metallic Studio 54 adhesive embellies. Don't they make just sweet little balloons?

And finally, a little tribute to a family stay-cation. We brought my mother-in-law to town for a round of mini golf, and the fun number paper was a perfect mimicking of our score cards - especially since we don't really keep accurate scores.

I did a lot of fussy-cutting here, with the Echo Park flowers. I further embellished them with the Mod Podge Dimensional Glaze and pop dots, which created a natural curled effect. I also added Dimensional Glaze to the centers of the small green flowers, and, though you can't really tell, to the glittered chipboard Thickers. I really love how that turned out!

Today's your last chance to try to get Lucky!

Each of the Lucky Girls on our blog party has some Lucky Bucks to give away, and each day of the party you'll have another chance to enter to win! Just follow these simple steps for a chance to win $7 Lucky Bucks to our store for my stop in the Blog Party!

This month we got to play with this delicious kit,
Summer Vacation:

I LOVE this kit! OK, so I'll admit that I'm probably a little biased, seeing as I actually put the kit together... but still. I think this is one of my favorite assortment of products bundled in one happy little spot that I've seen in a long time. I was able - with some creative cutting - to get five fully embellished layouts and a set of three cards out of the kit - that's about $3.75 per project! Not too bad when the typical scrapbook page cost between $7-$12 each, and a normal store-bought greeting card is around $3.99. Plus, I still have some leftovers for other projects. Gotta love when your buck stretches so far, right?!

Are you a Lucky Girl? Get full kit details and purchasing information is available by visiting our store at www.luckygirlcrafts.com

Lucky Girl monthly kits are a great value at only $30/month + shipping.
Annual subscriptions will be offered for $28/month + shipping with bigger discounts for annual pre-paid subscriptions available!
Shipping is available world-wide, so no matter where you are, you can be a Lucky Girl!

The LUCKY GIRL BLOG PARTY runs Thursday, July 1 through Saturday, July 4
Scroll on for more details...

Each day of the Blog Party, our incredibly talented, amazingly awesome design team will be posting a new project for you that was created with the July kit – Summer Vacation! Oh, and did I mention that each Lucky Girl has MYSTERY PRIZES to give away, with a GRAND PRIZE on the main blog?

Here's my first project, a fun layout for my nearly 11-year-old son Andrew's baby album using only ONE sheet of Pink Paislee double-sided patterned paper, a strip of 4"x12" Cranberry American Crafts cardstock (halved), and a 4-3/4"x9" block of Denim American Crafts cardstock.



Here's how I was able to stretch my Pink Paislee Starlight - Spark double sided patterned paper:


I cut out a 2"x12" strip and flipped the pattern over to incorporate those fun and bright stripes. I reattached the reversed patterned paper with two 2"x12" strips that had been punched with the Fiskars Threading Water border punch.

This layout also includes:
Alphas: Pink Paislee Expressions Weathered Wood chipboard alphas; Cosmo Cricket Tiny Type alphas and Jenni Bowlin Play Date banner stickers
Embellishments: (All American Crafts) Grosgrain Checkered Ribbon; Pearl Brad; Journaling Sticker
