Scrappers block crop-a-thon Layouts

This one is for the crop a thon as well. The challenge is to use recycle scrapbook packing, you can also use other packing as well. I used bubble wrap and painted it, my prima packing, the background is cardboard that I got from an sb.com order. I sprayed it with glimmer mist to give the cardboard background some personality. The smoothie font thickers have been coated with crackle paint for a softer but rustic look. I also used Tim Holtz alcohol inks to give the crystals some unique color. Give it a try. This was mega fun and super easy. TFL don't forget to come and play along. I am hosting this one as well.

Ok it's that time again. So, on to Challenge #4. SENSES!
We have all heard the sayings 'wake up and smell the coffee', 'feel the burn' and taste of your own medicine' but now is the time to incorporate these all important senses into you LO's.
They are the less obvious, but all important things that help us to remember and tell a story.
