New Cosmo Cricket!!!

CHA is here, and the amazing new products are coming your way! Here is a layout we made up with Cosmo Cricket's brand new Snorkel Collection. The bright colors and fun prints make it really fun to scrapbook. The embellishments for the new Cosmo Collections will be available in February, but we couldn't wait to play! There are so many options with the paper, borders, and elements, you can get it now, and add later! It is available to ship to you now at www.croppinparadise.com

Love Letters from LYB

You spoke and we listened! Here are some fun samples of our newest addition – Little Yellow Bicycle Love Letters Collection. This beautiful collection was really fun to work with. I was putting away some grocery’s, and thinking about what I could do for a sample. As I put away a tissue box, it hit me – an altered tissue box! I grabbed some paper, the clear cuts, and some Bo Bunny ribbon and brads. Only 20 minutes later is was done! I wondered how many people see altered items in everyday life!!! Hahaha

The tissue box could be used as a gift for someone who has had a bad day, someone mourning a loss, or someone who has been sick. Also, since every side is different, we figured it could be a better-looking tissue box! Everyday has a different look! This was a really fun, easy project!

We tried to come up with a name for the tissue box, but none of them really stuck - any ideas? Leave us a comment!

So, I figured I better do a layout too, so I used the remnant supplies from the tissue box! The different colored strips of paper really made the picture pop. Our beautiful little angel face was a great focal point! To complete both projects, here is a list of supplies:

Little Yellow Bicycle Love Letters Collection Papers – Kiss Dots/Love Dots, Kiss with Border/Grid, Kiss Lace/Solid, Love Ledger/Black Damask

Little Yellow Bicycle Love Letters Collection Clear Cuts Shapes

Bo Bunny Double Dot Ribbon Licorice 5/8

Bo Bunny Bodacious Brads Licorice

Adhesive – a spray glue may work best for the clear cuts, but I used a roller glue.
