Paper Issues - Issues Round 2

10:00

Hi guys! We're on Round 2 of Issues today on the Paper Issues blog. 
This month's theme is - anything goes! 

Suggested ideas are:
- Create a paper project of your choosing - any theme at all.
- Share a project about something that goes, like a car, bicycle, boat, etc.
- Make something about St. Patrick's Day.

I used the Dear Lizzy Lovely Day collection to scrap this cute photo of my stepson with his Headteachers Award that he was so proud of! He had the cheesiest (and most gappy!) grin in Presentation Assembly when he was awarded it! 
He worked so hard to earn it and we were so proud of him.

I'm really into fussy cutting at the moment and that beautiful floral paper was just begging to be cut out. 
I wanted to make a real feature of the flowers so I cut a mason jar shape with my Cameo and stitched it onto my cardstock.
I then arranged the flowers so it looked like they were in the mason jar and spilling down the side. 

Dimensional 3D clear gel glue is my best friend!

I added the title and the little bird from a Maggie Holmes sticker sheet.


Please do have a go at this months Issues, and pop your project in our challenge album on the Paper Issues facebook group for a chance to win a Paper Issues gift voucher!

Hiiiiiii scrappy friends! Today my layout is on the Paper Issues blog for the February Issue - Lets Play Post Office, round 2.

Suggested ideas are:
-Use office supplies like binder clips, tags, push pins, postage stamps and envelopes.
-Alter a clipboard.
-Include stamping on your project.
-Document a piece of mail or a love letter.
-Create a layout about your latest Paper Issues package (either a photo of the box and/or contents).
-Show us your kids, grandchildren, etc, at play.
-Share something about Valentine's Day/love.

I chose to use this cute photo of my little niece in her pink coat and pink helmet, riding her pink bike!
I used the Hazelwood collection by 1canoe2, and Dear Lizzy thickers.
