Heartfelt Sentiments Paper Focus - Jackson

Welcome to another Heartfelt Sentiments Paper focus Blog Hop.  If you are coming from Tonya's blog then you are on the right track!  This month we are featuring the Jackson Paper Packet from our all new CTMH Seasonal Expressions 2 ideabook.

As you can see, this paper packet is all about the outdoors and is a bit masculine...which works just fine if you do alot of outdoorsy type things with guys.  I do neither, so had to find a way to adapt this paper to something I actually could scrapbook about.

Here is my layout I created for a picture of my favorite subject right now, my granddaughter.

I used several of the die cuts from the coordinating Compliments collection, a piece of the paper as my base and a tiny piece of the paper underneath the photo mat.  The spray and drips are created by mixing Barn Red reinker with water and spritzing/dribbling it on the paper while holding it upright.  The wording is stamped with various alphabet stamps while "wrapped" is cut from the Artiste Cricut Cartridge and coated with Liquid Glass so it will stand out.  I was so excited to actually have a photo to add to this layout, so was I ever disappointed to find that neither of my printers had ink in them! So, imagine if you will, this cute picture of my granddaughter in the photo well.

Notice that the color of her shirt matches the colors of the paper packet!!

I hope I have inspired you to step out of the box and try creating something different with this paper packet.  Now hop on over to Melissa's blog and see what she has created for your inspiration!!

Thanks for stopping by today!
