Herb Expressions for a birthday

New:  DP by My Mind's Eye (Adventure 6x6 pad)
Not very old to me:  HerbExpressions (SU)
Stash:  CB birthday folder, sequins, SU Mellow Moss ink
Notes:  I used white ink to swipe directly on the embossed bg for a bit of highlighting.
I have a stash of sequins that were in my late mother's sewing box.  They come in packages of over 500, with a price label of .19!  At the rate I am going the sequins I have will last another 30 years or so!

Christmas 2014- What's Ugly?

The Kraft Journal challenge is to use ugly DP.  Beauty - and ugly - is certainly in the eye of the beholder.  I have SO much paper - I will look at some of it and say it is ugly - but the next time it looks pretty good.  I am sure much depends on what I am working on at the moment.  This DP is a stack by Paper Studio - I have used a lot, and there is a lot left!  I decided this piece must be ugly as I have never used any of the 4 sheets.  The image is from Beccy's place - a precolored digi.  I think the Kraft CS and ugly" paper go with the Hobo look!
