The best part about scrapbooking with new products is having the ability to “fuse” them with products you already have in your “stash.”  Last night when I printed out this collage photo I realized that the Pink Paislee Outside Of The Box paper would go perfectly with this pumpkin patch theme! Also since they kids were wearing blue colored t-shirts I knew I wanted to include the new Moon Glade paper from our Vintage Moon collection.   Therefore, right away I was able to create a Pink Paislee fusion of products!  LOL!  This isn’t a new concept in scrapbooking but it feels good to be able to mix and match the old with the new!

Here is something I am ashamed to admit…..this is only my 2nd layout using Pink Paislee products.  With very little time to scrap this year I haven’t even had time to play with the products our very own company creates. Isn’t that awful???????

I had fun with this one and even took the time to sprinkle glitter around the border using glue dots.  It took some time but it adds a nice sparkly touch!  And the TopSider worked so well for my main title.  Oh….and in case you are wondering….Fabri-Tac is the only thing I EVER use to hold down felt.  Nothing has ever worked for me as good as the Fabri-tac.  It is like cement.

Another fun thing to try…..I used self adhesive Magic Mesh as my photo mat but after I placed it on the paper, I decided I wanted to distress it, so I used an emery board and starting sanding the edges!  It really did start to fray and distress very easily.  Great way to releive some stress and it was FUN!

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy your Labor Day!
