These pages were done using various embellishments to create dimension. The embellishments include:

• felt
• buttons
• flowers
• stitching – real and faux

 Layout One Celebrate Making Memories Garden paper and 5th Avenue paper mixed together.  Embellishments are buttons and flowers with felt brads. 

Layout Two 8 My Tongue Bazzill cardstock, with a couple of different patterned papers including fancy pants.  Embellishments are felt bits and making memories buttons with Karen Foster Floss with buttons and stitching.  I also used Prima say it crystals to add bling. 

I have tried out the new Core’dinations Cardstock which Scrappy Kapers is stocking.

As you can see from the page I have used a number of different techniques to get the desired result. These techniques include:

• Flocking technique on chipboard
• Distressing chipboard alphabets
• Framing the photos with hand doodling
• Tearing the cardstock
