Today's project was inspired by San Diego Bath & Body Company's "Living the Dream" soap cover. I love their products. I mainly use their bar soap and lotion bars. But, I have tried their deodorant, sugar scrubs, lip balms, soy candles, and liquid soap. AND, I just love everything!

| I am a lavender feign. I really love the mix of lavender with mint. I think I bought this one maybe twice, maybe three times-not sure. I try to buy a different scent every time so I can be sure to try them all. This time I bought it for a friend as a Thank you gift. |

| I used the Cricut Artiste Collection to make this box. It's a perfect size for the soap bar. The box was cut at 4", the recommended size notated on the instruction booklet of this Cricut Collection. |

| The stamp set I used is Beautiful Friendship. I used my favorite stamping technique, Background or Random stamping, - it's an easy, fun way to create a unique B&T pattern. You can even Random stamp on B&T paper. I've done it and it turned out great. |

| To finish the project up, I added burlap ribbon, (my hubby liked this addition because he said I never done that before-true), Baker's Twine, and Markers to color in the butterfly. *Please note when coloring images with the alcohol based markers, such as CTMH's, it is best to use Archival Ink or Stazon Ink. The water base inks bleed. But, I was okay with it because I wanted the butterfly to be purple. |
Lagoon Ink
Gypsy Ink
Sponge Daubers
Liquid Glass ***NEW FAVORITE*** Liquid Glass has been around for a while, but I just began using it. A fellow consultant recommended it to use as glue. It's main purpose is for adding a crystal effect to embellishments. However, it's an awesome glue-it's not too sticky, it dries fast & clear, and it's permanent. I used it for the entire project, except for the box-I used strip tape.
Thanks for visiting!
Happy scrappin'!
