PaperHaus Magazine Spring Release and BLOG HOP

CLICK HERE FOR THE GLITZ DESIGNS GIVEAWAY AND BLOG HOP.

Can you believe it is March 1st?  I've got the perfect thing to get you in a springtime mood...the latest edition of the PaperHaus Magazine!  I believe I have 5 or so projects in there!

Open publication - Free publishing - More crafts

This is another spring inspired project I want to share today.  The colors of the Crate Paper Maggie Holmes collection are the perfect spring palette.  And since spring reminds me of "new" things, I wanted to do a page celebrating some "new" REAL friendships I've made!  I got to spend a scrappy weekend with some of my good online friends, who are now my friends IRL: Heather Leopard, Diana Fisher, and Sara Zenger (whom are all on the blog hop list below!).

I cut out the doilies from the patterned paper and then stitched around them on the inside with some gold thread.

Behind my photo cluster, I did some more stitching with cream colored thread to add some more texture.

A lot of edge distressing as usual, and lots of layers.

Along with the release of the magazine, we are celebrating with a GINORMOUS blog hop!!!  Most of the contributors are giving away RAK's on their blogs, too, so be sure to stop by!
