OSAT Blog Hop - Sale A Brate the Occasion

Hello, hello! It's the third Thursday of the month and you know what that means, right? It's OSAT Blog Hop time! 

Our theme this month is Sale A Brate the Occassion. It's a bit of a play on words because Stampin' Ups! new Occasions catalog has just launched and along with it we've got the biggest Stampin' Up! sale of the year: Sale-A-Bration (SAB)!  For every $50 USD you spend you get to pick a free gift from the SAB catalog. I like Free stuff so I think that's pretty awesome! On this card I've used a new bundle from the Occasions catalog called the Magical Day Bundle (clear mount). It has a dragon, unicorn, mermaid and more! I watercolored the dragon with my aqua painter using Lemon Lime Twist, Emerald Envy and Tempting Turquoise. 
I used lots of layers on this card but do you see that striped DSP in the background... FREE. Yes, really. I spent $50 and I picked the Bubbles & Fizz Designer Series Paper from the SAB catalog as my Free gift. I also added layers in Berry Burst (punched with the Starburst Punch), Pool Party, Silver Glimmer Paper, Silver Metallic Doily, Silver Metallic Thread and Lemon Lime Twist Ombre Ribbon. The fun little magic bursts in Silver glimmer were cut using the framelits from the Magical Day Bundle. I also used my Clear Wink of Stella to spatter the background and give it a magical, galaxy look.





For my project today I've done something completely out of my norm as I have made a scrapbook page. If you know me at all then you know scrapbooking is not my thing. I forget to take pictures, I never print the ones I do take... makes it kind of hard to scrapbook. Anyhow, I came across this photo of myself as a baby with some of my family looking over me. It's just such a sweet moment that I had  to preserve the photo. Enter the Petal Passion Memories & More Card Pack which made it so darn easy for me to quickly put this page together. The "lovely memories" die cuts, "this makes my heart happy,"Love Big & Love Much," 'Together," and grid paper card all came from this card pack! 

I really appreciated this card pack bc of the black and white designs. Not only is not "girly" or feminine, it is so easy to pair with any DSP, cardstock, or color combo that you choose to work with. I also added strips from the Pick a Pattern Washi Tape, and plenty of embellishments. Look closely, do you see those shiny little dots? Those are the Glitter & Clear Epoxy Shapes and they are my absolute favorite embellishment! They are smaller than all of our other epoxy embellishments and I love tiny!

Something else that's really cool about the Petal Passion Memories & More Card Pack is that has such a wide variety of things inside. You saw the big letter die cuts on the top of my page and the fun variety of cards but it also has this great piece of designer window sheet. It made it so easy to layer and add interest without covering up my whole background.
