Big Belated Birthday Bash GIVEAWAY

THE GIVEAWAY
You all have been so patient and waited long enough. I have amassed a really fun collection of goodies (including a Hero Arts ink pad in Orange Soda (I LOVE this color I just have doubles), a Heidi Swapp Color Shine (again I have doubles) and lots more. I will send the whole package to one lucky duck. Just leave me a comment. You can leave a second comment if you decide to become a new follower of my blog or if you are already a follower you can tell me that in a second comment too. I will leave the comments open all week because I am going to CHA (!!!) and if I snag anything while I am there I will include that in the box too :)

Ok, on to Scrapbook Circle and the fabulous July Kit Let's Chat, which I had SO much fun with...
Do you ever say, "I am going to need to buy 2 pieces of that paper because both sides are fabulous!" I do. All the time. But what if you really only have one sheet?  How do you best maximize that one piece of paper? I usually start by finding which side I want to focus on. Here it was the sunburst side that I really wanted to use more. So I cut a slightly larger than 6 inch piece of that side.

After adhering that half onto cardstock, I flipped over my remaining piece of the patterned paper and started fussy cutting out the speech bubbles. I felt like a needed something in between the sunburst pattern and cardstock so I cut the edge off the Elle's Studio paper and it made a nice trim!  Then I layered the speech bubbles, stickers and Pink Paislee arrow. Finally I made the title by mixing the Thickers and Jillibean word sticker and adding some Jenni Bowlin rubons (anyone else LOVE those? They are like BUTTER)!

And voila! I got to use both sides of that awesome piece of patterned paper!
