I am so excited to be designing for Paper Popsicles! The kits are so fabulous and I was lucky enough to get the Life's Little Things Mini Kit($10.99)to play with this month.

I loved the selection of papers, rubons, stickers, bling, stamps and a fabulous daisy paperclip! All that for $10.99?!?!?! You would be nuts not to order it!!!


All the kits are available in the store tomorrow. Don't wait to order yours as they sell out FAST!

Anyway, here's what I created with the Life's Little Things kit!

I just love the bright floral pattern on the black background of this paper! It looked so fanciful and I was inspired to create something a bit magical with it. The bling flourishes reminded me of butterflies and I decided to make a vellum wing taking flight like Mia's great 5 year old imagination!



Anyone who knows me KNOWS that I am a rubon fanatic! I really wanted to use the ones in the kit to help tell my story. The ledger paper looked so great with the polka dot paper from the kit and the blue rub ons just popped the whole thing! This page uses paper, rubons, stickers and the funky flower paper clip all from the kit.



This is such an easy technique...I just set the rubons sheet under the paper and figured out the spacing, printed out my journaling and then added the rubons. I will say that these are some of the BEST rubons I've ever used...they went on smooth as silk!



I've been waiting to scrap this picture of Mia at Disneyland since last year and I needed just the right paper to make it work. I love the slightly distressed look of the paper and the dark background helps to make my picture stand out. The frame of the daisies adds the right amount of sweet to this one!



I was able to make a whole bunch of cards as well. Again the colors against the black just look fabulous! I am not the world's best stamper but tried to get a bit of interest into my black flowers by using the stamps from the kit to embellish them. I stamped with versamark and then embossed with a silver metallic powder. It was so fun and completely changed the look of the plain flowers.









I was stuck on using basic notepaper or other office type supplies while working with this kit and made a few file folder cards. Cut the flower patterns out with the Slice, used some of the stickers from the kit and some mini alphas I had lying around for the sentiment. These were super quick and easy.
