Decreasing Apertures!!!

When I heard about this challenge from Papertrey Ink, I thought it would be really easy but little did I know that it was quite a challenging task. So, I began to tackle the decreasing apertures by using the Nestabilities labels 4. It took me a while to figure out the right way to do it since it was my first attempt.

My favorite technique is dry embossing. Ever since I used my Cuttlebug, I find myself using it again & again. I'm so addicted!

This is the end result.

Supplies:
Paper: MS cardstock, Creative Imaginations
Stamps: Hero Arts CL 264

Acc: Nestabilities Labels 4, CB Create a critter

It's a beach birthday party at our house!!!

This weekend is supposedly to be gorgeous weather and so we decided to have a beach birthday party for our daughter. She loves the beach!!! So, I thought of whipping up something just to commemorate this...LOL! I really wanted to go simple this time as I have so much to do...Sooooooo excited. Can you tell????

I've used my precious cuttlebug and the D'Vine Swirls to get the embossed look. Papers, sentiment and butterflies were from my stash. The flip flop image is from Designed 2 Delight.
