Today is a good day!

I had fun playing with Lily Bee Design Persnickety Mixed Sticker sheet when I created my layout: "My Little Crafter."It taught me to just 'jump' into a project and see where it takes you. At first glance, I never thought I would have used any of the 'pink" designs on a boy page, but to my surprise, I really enjoyed adding the pink: today square, circle flower, and pendants to my page.

I love when designers create coordinating sticker sheets to match their paper collections, as they offer me a chance to push my creativity, mixing and matching the different patterns and colors. Plus, they always seem to have the cutest little sayings on them, where many times I can use as a sub-title.  (One of my favorites in this collection is: "i.simply.enjoy.you" sticker. I can't wait to use it someday very soon.)

For my "My Little Crafter" layout, I used the pre-cut pendants and two decorative circles exactly as is from the sticker sheet. However, to complete my layout, I punched my own shapes out of the "Today is a good day" and "celebrate today" stickers. Nothing says you have to use a sticker exactly as its pictured, you can manipulate stickers just like paper to better suit your needs.(If you are going to punch a sticker, either mount it to a piece of cardstock first, or leave it on the waxy paper sheet you purchased it from.)

I used the Cricut cartridge, Storybook, to cut two scalloped rectangles out of the Ritzy paper and matched the green chevron pattern up to the cream one (Finicky) on the backrgound, and used the opposite side of the paper to get the grey/polka-dots. Then I fussy-cutted a few hexagons out of the scrap paper (Fussy) I had left from making the frog treat box I posted a few days ago.

Hope you enjoy & happy scrapping!
