Using up some Eyelets!

Today's post on the Practical Scrappers blog is unique ways to use eyelets and brads.  Lord knows I have a ton of them from when I first started scrapping, so it felt good to dig some out and use them up!

I created these next two pages using the We R Memory Keepers "Anthologie" collection that I got at my LSS, Scrapp'n Savvy, where I will be teaching these layouts on Wednesday.  I really really love the colors in this line!!!  They are great for any type of page.

My favorite color is green, especially this shade that I used from my background.

Whenever we go to the playground and Charlotte goes down the slide, she gets static hair head and it is soo funny cause her hair is so long!

I splattered with some white paint and used some eyelets to scattered randomly on the page, too.  I actually use my Big Bite for once....

I fussy cut a whole bunch of circles from the patterned paper and added some eyelets to the center of those, too.

And here is a sneak of another way that I used eyelets.  I can't show the whole layout yet until a reveal on the 15th!  I first drew some lines to create small grid patterns and then punched an eyelet at the ends of each line.  I threaded them with twine to create some interesting elements for my page!

And finally, a double pager that I really wanted to get documented.  We had a pool party at our house a few weekends ago and it was the first time that we have really entertained like this!  We had a great time with the family's in our mom's group.

The background is simple: some dark blue paper that I covered with a circle stencil and added some white paint for texture.  I cut a whole punch of circles and rings with my Big Shot and added them to the page as well.  I stitched a large central circle for my title and journaling.

Hope you are inspired to dig out some of your old eyelets!!!
