Washi Tape flowers?

Yep...that is what I said.  I love this tape...it is so fun to play with.  I was perusing pinterest one day, and saw some flowers made out of ribbon...the old fashion way.  You know, were you just make four loops and connect them at the center.  Well I thought I could do that with washi tape.  And vioala...with a little baby powder...flowers!  I had a ton of fun playing with tape and Bella products on this layout!

August tag revealed!

Another round of tag, scrapbook style, has finished at Scrap 'N Chat.  I just LOVE the way the layout progresses.  Here is mine.  I had these photos from a birthday party Kelly went to (taken by Kelley Ruskey) and had just received the October Afternoon Cakewalk line...Bingo...I turned the layout I received and designed away.  Of course, I forgot to leave a space for journaling...again!  LOL!!!  So I had to be creative and viola...a perfect spot for the journaling...the border!

Make sure you come and check out the tag.  And sign up for the September round!
