TIM HOLTZ' cling stamp set "good thoughts";

wanted a brain

hello scrappy friends!

i hope my post finds you well! 

i've got a brand new layout to share with you and it is a very special one for me, since it is my first GRAPHIC 45 layout! that's right! i've got almost every single one of their paper collections, but i never got to use them... until today...

"wanted a brain"

on the picture - me and my sister having a blast on her birthday party! it was a dress up party and, as you can see, we did a pretty good job:-)

i did a lot of fussy cutting and stitching on this layout. 

to create the branches for my flowers i used the amazing FWAB jack vine black, which i cut into pieces and placed on my page.

the GRAPHIC 45 paper pad is full with absolutely fabulous papers with so many FUN details, which you can use as embellishments!

the lovely poppies look so good next to FWAB jack vine!

when i saw that paper i knew in an instant that this will be my title - it fits perfectly with our outfits:-)

another close ups of FWAB jack vine black and me and sis:

i used two different punch sets from MARTHA STEWART on this page - "birds on wire" and "iron gate" punch around the page sets.

the purple pearls are also from FLOURISH WITH A BLING - adhesive pearls 100 pack purple.

i thought a little bit of extra colour never hurts!:-)

i hope you enjoyed today's post!

have a scrappy weekend!

hugs 'n smiles,
