Challenge YOUrself: Challenge #17 - Around Here

Hello, hello! It's reveal day over at Challenge YOUrself today. This month, the challenge was to create something about the daily routines of our lives. For me, since the new year rolled along, I've been trying to enjoy the simplest of things with my family - taking the time to truly enjoy the snippets of time we have together between work and school and activities. Here's what I came up with:

T-O-N-S of Fancy Pants' new collection, Flutter, on here - patterned paper (did you know that the collection is textured? Even the 6X6 paper pad?), gold chevron foiled paper, pieces of the ephemera pack, a button, a brag card or two, and bits of the insta pack. Also added a piece of Crate Paper foiled vellum (LOVE IT!), a My Scraps and More free digital cut you can find right here, American Crafts alphas, a Basic Grey sticker, Magenta mesh, splatters of Tattered Angels Glimmer Glaze, Heidi Swapp Color Shine and Liquitex Acrylic Ink, with a few sequins I found laying around in my scrappy stash and some stitching, oh yes, all hand-stitched usings a The Crafter's Workshop stitching template and some DMC floss.
