Hello Hello! I hope everyone is staying cool! It’s been super hot here in the Midwest, and it seems most everywhere else too! Perfect time for a frozen treat, or a whole bowl full! I’m staying cool by thinking about all the gelato I had in Italy:
I have a confession: I always say I’m not a scrapbooker, but I made a layout yesterday. I remembered why I don’t scrapbook as much. Because this one layout took me about 4 hours. I loved detailed layouts with hidden journaling, lots of teeny tiny embellishments, and just the right papers! I think I might actually frame it in a shadow box because I LOVE how it turned out! (The little awning is my favorite, it lifts up for hidden journaling!)
This layout would not have been possible without some amazing adhesive! I used up about two full sheets of foam squares (the entire shoppe is lifted up from the background with 2 layers of squares) and the tiny layered details of the sweets on the counter were EASY to adhere with the transfer tape from 3L. (I did tell you I was on the DT for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L, right?!?)
Well, I got to see some new adhesives they’ll be releasing at CHA, and let me tell you they are amazing, but that’s all I can tell you for now! Want to find out about their new adhesive before everyone else at CHA? If you do, be sure you’ve signed up at www.theshapetocome.com. If you register your email address there before July 25th, you’ll get a special pre-show announcement! (You’ll also be entered to win $50 worth of Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L products (winner announced on their blog August 2nd.!)
**How about this? Let’s do a giveaway here too! Leave a comment here on my blog and I’ll draw a winner for $25 of Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L products on July 25th!**

fabulous scrap page. I don’t do much of it either (i.e. NONE) because it is a lot of time and brain space that is almost painful at times. But i love the little cones and the great hideaway journaling space. very cute! thanks for the giveaway!
