Bliss Swap Spoiler

Good morning, Saturday!

Last night, I completed one layout from start to finish for my Bliss April scrapbook swap. I have 6 more layouts to assemble, but precuts are finished so it should go together pretty quickly now.

I thought I would share this layout with you (below).

I used the following products to create this layout:

Bliss Level 2 Paper Packet
Miracle Level 2 Paper Packet
Chocolate, Colonial White, Sweet Leaf, Vanilla Cream, and White Daisy Cardstock
A Hop Stamp Set
Splendid Day Stamp Set
Around the Block Stamp Set
Antique Copper Brads
Chocolate Watercolor Pencil
Chocolate, Garden Green, Buttercup, Sweet Leaf, and Crystal Blue ink pads
Scallop and Picket Fence Border Punches
Magic How-To-Program: Secret template

This is the first time that I've used that Around the Block stamp set. I'm glad I decided to keep it. :)

Fanfare Spoiler Swap

Hellooooooooooooo, Friday!

It has been a very busy day in the Bennett household. Friday's are my day off from work, and I try to make the most of them. I was able to get caught up on a lot of my household chores, which I forced myself to do first. LOL

Then, it was time to get busy finishing up my last Fanfare layout needed for a "Pick A Month" layout swap I signed up for. I originally signed up for just Fanfare, but there must have been some trouble filling up some of the extra spots, so the swap host asked us if we could switch our original plans from making 13, to get 12 back. The new plan was to create 7 layouts per the 2 suggested months picked by the swap host. So I ended up getting Bliss for my second set of layouts, and will be using an Easter theme, since that month is April.

As you will see from the pictures below, Fanfare was set up with July in mind. Hope you like my adaptations of Fanfare. :)

I'm especially proud of the first layout, which incidentally, is the last layout I created from this pack. I spent somewhere around 3 hours on this layout, but it is such a happy layout, that it was totally worth it to me.

Now, I had better get crackin' on my April Bliss layouts. They need to be in the swap host's hands by the 20th. Eek. :)
