Sparklers September Blog Hop

Welcome to my dusty and long-lost blog! You will be happy to learn that, indeed, I did remember my password and how to create a blog post. It has been quite awhile but I see a resurgence in my future. I am making a huge effort to bring back some blogging and create a place where you can find all of my different social media links, design teams, and projects. I have LOADS of new projects in the works and you will find out about a lot of in upcoming months right here.

Without further ado, welcome to the SpiegelMom scraps September Blog Hop. You could have arrived here from Rachel's amazing project! I am playing around today with combining different collections since I have been dying to play with all the things. I decided to combine Pink Fresh Studios Boys Fort along with Escape the Ordinary and throw in a little Ali Edwards Details Story Kit for good measure.

From the SMS store, I am using three different sequin mixes that match these new collections perfectly.  I used: Black Tie Event (black sequins...always for the win) as well as Deck the Halls and the brand new Lisa's Starry Night which has so many amazing shades of blues that I need about fifty more packages!


This patterned paper just begged for stitching! I knew that I had to scatter some hand-stitching throughout the border element and I also carried it over onto the border strip across the bottom of the photo. 


I used the 6x6 paper pad to create some cut-outs and layers on a few of the arrows as well which was a fun way to create a unique dimension. 



I hope that you enjoyed my creation as well as the return of my blog. Do make sure that you stop by and check out the process video for this layout. 



Next, you are off to see Christy and her fantastic layout as well. Make sure to leave comments for everyone so that you can be entered to win a prize!
