Key West

Oh this was a FUN project! The Last Serendipity Scrapper Standing Challenge for today was to create a layout using at least 3 household products that you don't normally put on your layouts. I am just playing along for fun but I had to give it a try.

You know I had to use my favorite - Starbucks cup holders for the title. I found a clothing tag that had a great palm on it so I decided to scrap these photos of my brother when he and my sister went to Key West. Then I made these fantastic coffee and tea flowers! They are made out of coffee filters and tea dye. The tutorial is below. You just have to try it because they are so great looking in real life. I took a couple of close ups to try to show you. I also added some crystally glitter (snow by martha stewart). I also used up some really old papers from my stash and even handmade paper that I have probably been holding onto for about 5 years! lol I even used the little tag from the tea bag in the lower right corner under the date

Such a beachy feel to this. I really like how the Starbuck lettering really pulls the wooden pier out, almost like it is 3-d. Cool effect! Looking forward to checking out your paper flowers tutorial as they are gorgeous.
