Actually I'm not into margaritas. Not at all. I might have one, on the rare occasion that we are in a Mexican restaurant, but it has to be a frozen fruit margarita... like peach or watermelon. Just not into tequila. It's bad news. And that's all I'll say about that. LOL
The Margarita collection from American Crafts, on the other hand, is GREAT news! I love it. And I've had some of the collection for awhile now, but I've finally had a week to sit down & do something with it. Yes... I said a week, because it took me that long to create & re-create these 2 pages when I was thinking something's not looking quite right here. And that paper with the buildings on it... yes, I had to have it. Reminds me of the paper with the buildings on it from my all-time favorite, favorite, favorite Craft Fair collection... that I probably used on AT LEAST 20 different projects. And that's not an exaggeration, as you are already painfully aware.
So, now that we know I can sometimes take way too long to create 2 pages AND I hoard American Crafts paper with buildings on it... let's get to the pages. On this first one, I used my border punch to create the waves and then made my own flag banner, using the bar code strip at the bottom of my flags to add a little more interest...
Love that crab sticker. And please. No crabs on trips. Leave that nonsense at home.
Used my circle punch on the next page to create my border & then used a left-over punched circle in my title. More bar code strips, too. Some fun ones in this collection, so I had to use them...
Speaking of the Craft Fair collection, I felt the need to add a couple little bits on here. There can never be too much Craft Fair, as far as I'm concerned...
And... I made a card with this collection, too. Because that buildings paper goes a long way. Don't laugh. You know you all have your favorites, too...
It's a busy week ahead, but lots of FUN things planned. There could be some more party pics... just sayin'. Looking forward to it all!
Have a GREAT week everyone!
Totally loving your layouts and card....way to rock the American Crafts :):)

LOVE your fun projects! these really make me want to get this collection.
don't feel bad about the craft fair obsession - it's one of my favorites, too. and as far as using your favorite paper over and over again, i say "props to you!" because i hoard my favorites and they never get used!

I'm with you on the tequila...BAD stuff! You're pages are so bright and fun! And I would have never guessed Bob was 63. You're right, he definitely looks at LEAST 10 years younger! I hope I have that same problem when I reach his age :)
