I had fun in my scraproom today. In addition to working on a "to be revealed later" project, I also did some scrapping of the Birthday photos. I used a new (to me) product on the scrap pages, Fabric Paper by Dear Lizzie and American Crafts. It is fabric that is backed with an ultra-thin adhesive foam. The fabric paper cuts nicely with my paper trimmer, though I did not try it on the Cricut today. Don't worry, I have more of the fabric paper and that will be my next experiment.
I used Base Camp and Storybook cartridges to complete my layout. I cut the phrase Happy 50th Birthday with Base Camp and attached the letters to the flag banner at the top of the fabric paper. I then cut a two layer tag using Storybook where I matted the computer printed journaling. My friend Kathy gives me grief for not journaling often enough so I am working to mend my ways!
I cut an extra tag set and affixed it under the edge of one of the HUGE-I-FIED Prima flowers. The other Prima flower is on the left page, afloat on a field of flowers. I used three lazer cut pink flowers from my stash of long ago purchased die cuts. Between die cuts and alphabets that I no longer purchase, I should be saving money... Well, except for those new cartridges!!
I have to say that I quite like the Dear Lizzy Fabric Paper and look forward to using more. I am not sure where else you can purchase the fabric paper, but I plan to "google" it and find out if there are other patterns.
