I really had fun with this DPS. I finally decided to put some of those special issue magazines and idea books to work. This weekend I explored Easy Patterns by Brenda Arnall from Creating Keepsakes. I've never scrapped this way before in my life but, I was able to create 2 single layouts and 2 DPS all from 4 pieces of cardstock and 3 pieces of patterned paper.
The cardstock on this DPS is Blush from CTMH and the patterned papers are from Martha Stewart's line. I used some vellum quotes from DCWV. The chipboard arrows are form TLC which is now operating under the name of Breezy Designs. I painted them with some Keepsakes gel paint from Plaid that was specifically made for scrapbooking and has been discontinued. The glitter on the arrows is also a paint from keepsakes as well. I used my Placement Guide stamp set from CTMH to stamp my stitches placement in the corners of the quote on the left hand page. This stamp set is also another great investment for anyone who likes to hand stitch on their layouts as I do.
This is also for IFC06:CraftKrazy. I really liked her use of arrows on her "no Limits" page so, that is was I lifted from her.

Great l/o's. Don't we all have some of those special *attitude* pictures of our kids. LOL Love your colors. I gotta start using chipboard more often, cause it adds so much to the page!
