Feeling Slothy Anyone?!

Is anyone feeling a little slothy today?  I know I am!  The Monday after a holiday weekend is the worst! We keep the 4th of July low-key, mainly because of the dogs.  Plus, we have a neighborhood that insists on shooting fireworks even though they are illegal inside the city limits!  The houses are close together and it could spell disaster if one landed wrong.  


I went all kinds of crazy with Deco Foil Flock and Metallix Gel.  I decided to combine the two on the same stencil and I was quite happy with the way it turned out. 


And confession....the sloth that is interacting with us in the pictures is a male named Scarface!  The females were hanging out in a corner at the top of the room and keeping tabs on a two week old baby.  SO CUTE, I need to scrap the pictures of the baby also!!  And then we heard the next week that the other female had a surprise baby!  No wonder they were being shy and just keeping back.  


All of the watercolor paintings that I have been seeing inspired my flower crowned sloth!  The cut file (from Silhouette) has a flower crown with it, but it was easier just to use the die cuts in the collection to fill in that crown.  


I am crushing on the Metallix Gel mixed over the Flock!  It did take some planning and patience, but usually those projects are worth it!


I added the inky scribble around the page at the last minute and I feel like it ties the entire page together!  And I HAD to use those Heffy Doodle Journaling Strip dies again!  They are too perfect not to.  I am going to have to find a place to keep my manual die cutting machine out so that it's easy to use.  

I shared this layout over on the Therm O Web blog a couple of weeks ago and you can see that full post with step out pictures HERE.  Try mixing the Metallix Gel and Flock!!!  It's so fun.

I will now be listing supplies at the end of my posts, with affiliate links.  I have ALWAYS listed my supplies before and that is not going to change.  But it is work to keep track of them.  These links will take you to where you can purchase the same products I used in my projects. By clicking on the link, I am paid a small compensation.  If you want to shop and click on the link, there is NO cost to you at all and you might even discover a sale or two!  

Supplies

Here is a list of the supplies I used that are available from Scrapbook.com and Therm O Web.  If you purchase thru my links, which is no cost to you, it will help me to keep my content fresh and current. I would love the support if you feel like shopping!!  (You can see my disclosure statement here).  And the dogs would love it, because they might get a few more treats!
