We've had a lot of exciting changes over the last year at FWAB, like a new Design Team, some stunning new products and the latest (and biggest change) is FWAB going retail! That means you can buy all your favourite bling straight from the FWAB store iteself!!
I've once been called the "Queen of Pearls" and it's no secret that some of my favourite FWAB products are their adhesive pearls and rhinestones. For my blog hop project I really wanted to highlight them, so I gathered up every packet I had and used every single one of them on my page!!
To make them line up neatly on my layout I used a Studio Calico stencil as my guide. The pearls fit nicely in the gaps and then it was easy to make this pattern appear!
Plus, all that bling was perfect for this page about my daughter dressed as a Princess discovering 'treasure'!
Your next stop on the Blog Hop is the fabulous Sandi Smith. I just know you're going to love what she's created. And don't forget to follow the hop all the way back to the FWAB blog to leave a comment for your chance to win the grand prize.
But before you go you can also win a little something from me by leaving a comment on this post. I wish I could say I was giving away some Pearls and Rhinestones, but as you just heard.. I've already cracked into every single packet I own. Instead I'm giving away these; a black Jack's Vine, and Trent's Fence.
I'll be drawing a winner next week on the 19th.
Good luck and Happy Hopping
