Swirlydoos Scrapbook Kit Club: More Salutations Projects with Tracey

Hello all! Tracey here today! I'm still creating with the fabulous Swirlydoos' March kit,Salutations. Here is a layout featuring my beautiful scrappy friend, Laura Gilhuly.

One of the wonderful things about scrapbooking is the opportunity to connect with people you would never have met in daily circumstances. I met Laura when we were on a DT together 2 1/2 years ago and we have been great friends since. While we have yet to meet in person, since we live about 10 hours and a country apart, I consider Laura to be one of my closet friends. I have used the Prima tags to jot some thoughts to her.

Everything on this page is from the kit and add-ons except for a few flowers and ribbon from my stash.

I used lots of misting with Lindy's Stamp Gang and Tattered Angels. The Prima wood fireflies were treated with Rub n' Buff in Patina,then shaded with Quick Quotes ink in Bloody Mary.

As usual,I added lots of texture paste,stamping and distressing to add dimension and depth.

My last project is a canvas inspired by the Casting Crown's song, "Let Me Dream For You"

First, I modpodged the beautiful damask paper with the music sheet as an overlay. I added a layer of texture paste with Diamond Dust sprinkled on before it dried. The frame is a Michael's Dollar Bin find and the doily and lace are from my stash. All the tags and chipboard elements in the kit make layering so easy!
