Core'dinations Guest Designer

 Have I mentioned I am guest designing over at Core'dinations this month?? LOL I know, I know, I've probably mentioned it a few 100 times ;) I LOVE Core'dinations and it was such a blast to do lots of fun things with it. For this layout, I didn't do any crazy techniques. And I used the Core'dinations Pink Paislee Pre-Embossed Core Impressions. LOVE that you don't have to do the embossing all the time! I specifically used a pre embossed design because I was looking for border strips and I do not have and long embossing plates. SO instead I fussy cut around some of the Core Impressions to give the same look:

I added some My Mind's Eye The Sweetest Thing Tangerine--isn't it so cool when you find color matches from different companies and collections? I used a few Therm O Web 3 D Zots (my favorite) to pop up the sun:

The only thing I did to the cardstock was lightly sand it. I used a Core'dinations Sand It Gadget and then wiped up my mess with a Core'dinations Dust Buddy. I seriously love both those tools! Did you know you can do all the normal things with Core'dinations that you do with any other cardstock. Like print on it? I printed my journaling strips on an unembossed portion of the Core Impressions:

Isn't it so sad when your little ones start caring what other people think? Just makes me want to act crazier. So the last time we were at the park even I got on the swings ;) Just keep swinging friends!
