Archivers haul

I rushed in the day I found out the discount was up to 40% off everything. I don't think they discounted the extra 40% off the things already on clearance, but I still got away with a huge haul.
Here are pictures:





Looks like I am gravitating towards aqua this year. 
I might drop by Archiver's again if I have some spare money in the next few weeks. Fingers crossed there are still things left! I would get a bigger selection of paint daubers and washi tapes and ribbons. If there are any pretty, reasonably priced 12x12 kits, I might spring for a few of those too, since I plan on going into scrapbooking. 
I wish they had silhouette cameos left… yeah right! They probably flew off the shelves when the discount was only 25%. I have lots of steel dies which I hope to use way more often when I move and have a cutting station where the grand calibur can be placed permanently.

fancy CAS valentine, 21 of 100

Hi, this is project 21 out of 100.
I'm entering this card in CAS on Sunday challenge 25, with a lovey dove theme,
Pink Elephant's TPE234 to use pink, red, and other color (black in my case),
and Paper Players #179, to do a one-layer valentine.


Supplies used: Prima Doll stamp, Copics RV14, RV13, R08, R14, R17, R01, white gelato, Freckled Fawn wood shape, red and pink rhinestones, Copic multiline 0.5, stamp abilities script background stamp. Lazy me hadn't properly cleaned the stamp, so I stamped with very old remnants of Brilliance in black. Kind of looks like gray because it's so faded.

19 and 20 of 100

Hi all!
I'd like to share two scrapbook layouts I made. These are projects 19 and 20 out of the 100 I plan to make in 100 days.
I confess it's two layouts on a page, one in the front and one in the back. I used, Simple Stories—Vintage Bliss collection for the most part. I love the bright, cheery colors. I'd bought it a while back after using some sheets I had bought separately. When the first sheets were gone, I knew I had to buy more of this collection, so I got a 12x12" kit and the 6x6" paper pad.



I complemented the collection with a sheet of Teresa Collins polka dotted paper and another sheet of hers, the one with the bingo cards and the numbers. It was way too bright, and it would've kinda been obnoxious, so I toned it down with white gesso on both sides. Other supplies used are Studio Calico wood butterfly I covered with washi tape, other veneer which I colored with a gelato, other washi tapes, metal clips I had in my stash, doilies, and sticker elements from the collection.

I believe the patterned paper is from the Fancy Pants Design To the Moon pad, and the journaling half-circle is from BoBunny's Blast Off collection. I used The Greeting Farm's Saturday stamp, which I colored with Copics. The stars are from Studio Calico, colored with gelatos, and the sentiment sticker is by Teresa Collins from her Stationery Noted collection.

I apart from the Bobunny papers used, I used Studio Calico wood stars which I colored with Gelatos, and kept on using the Teresa Collins alphabet stickers for the sentiment.

This card uses papers from Fancy Pants Designs "To the Moon" collection, and the alien sticker is from Bobunny's "Blast Off" collection.

I went with Fancy Pants Designs patterned paper here. The little star is from BoBunny's Blast Off collection, and the "Hi" is from Teresa Collins' "Stationery Noted" collection. I added some Stickles to the smoke trailing the rocket ship.
