Happy Friday everyone!! Hope your week has been wonderful and that you have had the same great weather we have!! I am always in a much better mood when I can see the sun!! LOL!!! So... with it being Friday and all... we have a new challenge over at Frosted Designs!!! Don't you just love a new challenge?! This weeks challenge is to mask something. You can use whatever you want on this one.... there are so many possibilities!! I personally decided to use my Tattered Angels glimmer mist products.... Here is what I did....
I took a piece of cardstock and layed my Glimmer Mist Screen where I wanted it. I sprayed my paper with 2 colors of Glimmer mist (Coffee shop and Key Lime) As soon as I was done spraying (while the ink was still wet) I picked up the screen and flipped it over onto another part of the paper. That way the ink that was on the screen didn't go to waste because it was used to add a little detail on another part of the cardstock. Now... being the brilliant person I am, I didn't think to take pictures as I went... so the pictures I am showing you are ones I used on some scrap paper so you could get the idea!! (So.. ignore that fact that it is completely different colors than my LO!!)
While that was drying, I started piecing together the other parts on my LO.... The picture is of my family (well part of the family... the part that still lives at home!!) in San Juan on one of our island days during our Spring Break cruise!! There was an old fort there that we did a tour of... it was so amazing... and it was also a great backdrop for a ton of pictures!! Don't worry... you will be seeing plenty of them in future LOs because I am crazy about them!! The title was made by cutting out the letters 6 times on cardstock and glueing them all together. And... in honor of earth day... I used a tag from a shirt I had bought! I thought the tag was fabulous for this page and the way I tucked it behind the picture, you can't even tell it has the store/product info on it!! I guess that's my version of recycling!!

This is such a beautiful layout!
What an original way to create a background paper. Very vintage and very cool. This is my first visit to your blog. I wanted to stop by and thank you for your lovely comment welcoming me to the PS DT.
Love it and learned something to boot. I have never masked anything and just got my glimmer mist so this is something I will need to try. Thanks. Love the page.
Beautiful layout Barb, love the masking, something I really should give a try, sounds like a few of us haven't. Awesome colours, perfect for the picture.

Barb, I must have popped over here late at night and not left a message because I sit in the dark sometimes when I can't sleep and just lurk my scrappy friends! LOL Love this great vacay layout and the misting is wonderful! I have not done much of it(or stamping). I think I have enough obsessions as is LOL again! Great job, Barb!
