Another family fun day - What tools/embellisment did I use??

Hello everyone!!! I am so excited, headed to go and see the boys of summer tonight (The Red Sox). My favorite two people are coming up from New Jersey (my aunt and uncle) and we are ALL going. So much fun!!!!

Ok, so here is another family fun thing we like to do. We have a fire pit and in the fall and early winter we love to have one in the back yard. I have been told by Kel it is like camping (she is a camper, I am not, and she is trying to get me to camp,I don't do bugs). We usually have Kel and her hubby over. So I broke out my Glimmer Mist and my "must have" Three Birds on Parade awesome sticker pack. I saw this really cool technique in a scrap magazine. Punch out squares, circles, whatever shape you want. Place then on your paper with removable tape (as you can see I didn't have that). Once you have them placed where you want, spray the glimmer mist all over the page. Now, I have to buy more glimmer mist, lol!! Let it dry and take off the square off paper. That was the result. So cute. I love the look.
I used these two colors. Here is my Three Birds on Parade sticker pack. It has soo many different themes and letters, it really was a great buy. It has been sitting on my shelf forever. I said I have to pull it out. I am so excited because I found cute baby stickers in here and I am working on a baby book from my cousin and his wife, so it pays to through your stash!!!














Here is the finished product!! I had 2.5 x 2.5 pictures of us out by the firepit and I placed them over the already made frames. Sooo adorable. All the swirls, tabs, frame and title are from the sticker stack. I did add a few perfect pearls here and there.

  3. What a fabulous effect! Wow! That turned out wonderfully and is just perfect with your photos!
    The fire pit sounds like such a fun idea! I love camping with my family... but don't like the bugs.
    My son has been looking for a Red Sox hat. I'm not sure why though! I'll have to let him know my friend is going to the game!
