I was very excited to get a fun box full of Imaginisce Childhood Memories.  As soon as I saw the Wonder paper with the fabulous bubble wands, I knew what picture I was going to scrap.  I love this picture of my daughter from 2000.  She could sit and blow bubbles for hours!

I used the bubble wand stamps from the collection to create a fun embellishment.  I colored and cut out the images.  I covered the wands with some glossy accents to make them look more like actual wands.  I tied them together with some fun Caribbean Twinery Twine.

I had a little fun creating some "bubbles" on my layout.  First I cut some bubbles from the blue Play all Day paper, outlined them with more Caribbean Twine and filled them with Glossy Accents to make them shine like real bubbles. 

I couldn't bring myself to throw out the cut bubbles, so I decided to just make more shiny bubbles and add them over the chevrons on the b-side of the Snapshots paper.

Make sure to check out all of the fun creations The Twinery and Imaginisce Teams created. You can get the full list of participants over at The Twinery Blog. Make sure you stop by both The Twinery's and Imaginisces' blogs and leave a comment.  You could win one of these prizes:

I had a very fun weekend cropping for the weekend with some wonderful friends a couple of weeks ago, and I even managed to be productive! One of the layouts I was able to complete was this one for Right at Home Scrapbooking, featuring Imaginisce's Sole Sisters.

The color challenge was to use Kraft in your layout (a real stretch for me...not) in honor of National Craft Month....get it???

I did a lot of "fussy cutting" on this layout...first the purses were cut from the "Purse-onality" paper and the flowers on my banner were cut from the "I Pick You" paper.

I created a mixed banner using many of the banner MFT dies available to give it a fun twist. Finally I stitched in black to coordinate with the doodley look of the flowers. I'll be back later this week with some more layouts, including the newest reveal from Let's Capture These Sketches.
