3 Bugs Simple Pleasures

This paper line has been so interesting and fun to work with, because it's so versatile! With so many different color combinations at work in one paper set, you can achieve many different moods with your projects. Take for example, the patterned papers I used to make this card: The bright colors are fun and playful, and have a cheery, feminine feel to them.
This card also uses the new Prima Sprites, which, by the way, I *HEART!*  They come in a variety of colors and you get assorted sizes in the cute little package they come in.

This card is from the same paper set, but has a darker, more masculine tone to them.  I used the American Crafts Large Sentiments stamp set for the greeting.












 
Finally, take a look at this layout.  The colors and patterns all work together to pull off such a warm, fall mood.  This was a fun one to put together, with all the layers and images cut from the patterned papers.

Thanks for stopping by today. If you feel inspired by these projects, you can pick up all these goodies and more in the AC Bailey store!

Toodles!

Happy Easter to you and some 3 Bugs

Today is a special day for my family, as it probably is for many of you. While we love the fun that surrounds religious holidays such as Christmas and Easter we also take time to remember the real reason we celebrate these days. I hope that you and your family have a wonderful day today.

Now for some scrapbooking fun! For my assignments this month I got to play with the "Happy Bird-Day" collection from 3 Bugs in a Rug, some fun trims, brads from the Crate Paper Prudence collection, some Glossy Accents and some Bazzill flowers and chipboard.

Before making this page I'd never used the Glossy Accents but had heard lots about it, mainly raves from other girls in the AC Bailey community about how much they liked it. Besides using the product to make shiny page accents, did you know that it can also be used as an adhesive? Yep. And, it works great for applying ribbon, tiny embellishments or anything else you want to add to your project with a very short drying time. I love it.

On this page I used the Glossy Accents to make some raindrops on the flower and also to give the polka dots a little more POP! What have you used this product for? Leave a little comment and share your tips with us.

Happy Easter to all of you and thanks for stopping by the AC Bailey blog!


Happy scrapping!
