Happy 4th of July and Getting Krafty!!

I hope you had a wonderful 4th of July!! We had a sweet day with many happy new memories.

I want to share with you a little Paper Trunk Challenge....

I pulled out my favorite Paper Trunk line, Krafty, and decided to challenge myself to use one paper on two pages. The pretty scalloped circle dotted paper was calling my name so I decided to use that paper for my challenge example.
First, I cut out the scalloped circle, then I cut it in half. I then positioned each half on a plain piece of vanilla cardstock and started adding more Krafty paper, Jelly Bean and Socialite papers (I used the pretty backs), some Rockabilly chipboard, journaling spots, my favorite Benny alphas and some beautiful embellishments especially made for Paper Trunk by Wendy Hammer Designs. I dabbed on some paint and ink, added some bakers twine and here are my finished pages....
