Celebrate Today paper collection is a fun, bright, vibrant way to add some colour into your crafting. Iy is not only great for Birthdays but any occasion that calls for some bright & cheery,

My first project is a quick simple card design, I teamed the Celebrate Today Papers with some Dreamy Holographic Paper, which really brought put the blues & greens. I used a combination of stamps ( Say It in Style & Rainbow Wishes) for my sentiment.

My next project I made a 8½” × 11″ scrapbook layout using the sticker sheet that you can get with the Celebrate Today papers. The layout is made up 1½” tall & 7½” strips wide of paper along with a zip strip & a strip of the of the Dreamy Holographic Paper. I also used on of the Strokes of an Artist images to help crate the border & another to create paint splatters to bring in more of the black colour to tie in with the zip strip & sticker embellishments.

I had lots of fun creating with Celebrate Today and I would love you to leave a comment before heading off to the next stop, Doris Taylor – Creative Inspirations
