Girls Just Wanna Have Fun!

So...I made this LO quite some time ago.  I remember when I opened this kit that although I loved the colors I wasn't sure I'd find a way to scrap with them.  Then I went to a party to celebrate a friend of mine's promotion.  The picture is one of her sisters and myself, but as soon as I stepped foot inside the party I realized that this kit was ABSOLUTELY getting put to use.  (Side note...I have also "managed" to scrap a few more events with the awesome bright colors used in this kit!)

Here is the LO:


One of the first things I realized when I sat down to work on this project was that I have an abundance of turquoise and teal color items in my craft space.  Including the sparkly teal texture paste you can see on the picture above (and below) and the teal Beautiful Beads you can see on the picture below.  Yellow is also one of my favorite colors so I was definitely able to put some more of my paint/spray/stain/etc. to use on this LO.  In the photo below you can see where I used plenty of color and texture on chipboard pieces that complimented the color palette of the papers and flowers included in the kit.


Below are a few more closeups of the teal texture paste, Beautiful Beads, and chipboard.  I LOVED how the texture paste matched the papers in this kit!  It was absolutely perfect and I got to use up some of my stash!


More chipboard and a little closeup of some of the flowers:


Finally, because you can "never" use "too many" flowers, I used these bright sprays and some "Color Them Yourself" flowers from 49 and Market to add even MORE color to this LO.  I also used all three of these sprays to make "paint splatters" on the background and on all my chipboard pieces.


So there you have it!  Bright colors and fun to post on a week that's been mostly cold-ish and gray!

P.S. (Some of these colors are getting used in the baby's room too!!!💓)
