 I was super excited when I found out that I would be working with American Crafts Wood Veneer Pieces for the Scrapbook Steals blog hop this weekend. I just love all of the different shapes available these days. I have several packs already and I find them to be very versatile. This particular pack just made me think either travel or boy. I wanted to show at least two ways to use the little guys. On the above card I decided to leave the wood naked to show the texture in all it's glory. I backed them with little black hearts to make the shapes pop. The squares are white cardstock with washi tape on top.

My second card I thought I'd show the pieces with a little color. I first put a layer of white acrylic paint and let it dry for a few minutes. Then I spritzed with Mr Hueys in primary colors for a bold bright colors. I did the layer of white acrylic to make the color really bright. Otherwise it had a tendency to look a bit darker as it sinks into the wood.  The background of the card is  a bunch of different washi tapes I have on hand that went with the little boy look I was going for.

Thanks for stopping by there are so many great scrapbooking ideas at the Scrapbook Steals blog and I love shopping there for all of the great deals. Make sure you get your hands on some of these awesome wood veneer pieces so you can try some of the great ideas featured on the blog hop.
