Extra Special

Wow were has this month gone...  I found a little time to do some scrapbooking, here is a layout that was submitted to Soul Scrappers for their ABC Challenge. If you would like to play along go here , the alpha this month is E (enamel dots) so first I would like to show you how I made my enamel dots!!

I took just regular pony beads and placed them on an old cookie sheet, that I had lined with wax paper.  I then placed into a 375 degree oven for 15 min.

 

 

This is what they look like when they come out of oven.

 

I then place them all into a jar until I need them, so easy, and here is the Layout that I did..

 

 

 

Extra Special

My Grandson and my pup, these two are always together and so extra special to us.  You can see my homemade enamel dots.  I also have this wonderful silky Japanese paper that I won (love it) and I tucked under the top of my photo.

 

 

Here is a look at the background made with various inks and stencils, I also rolled over the top while ink was still  wet with my bryer for a grunge effect.

 

 

another look at my homemade enamel dots..

 

 

My transparent Alpha stickers, and you also get a better look at this cute piece of japanese paper.

 

 

I found this cute 3D paper house dog sticker in my stash, so cute.

 

 

I used one of my enamel dots for the center of this flower ( they can be used so many ways).
