Christmas Card 07 - 2015

The gorgeous Snowman is an older Stamp from Inkadinkdo - Filigree Snowman #99402
I clear embossed him on a white card base - created the blue sky background with some Distress Inks... mopped up some water drops for a snowy effect, added some dimension with fun foam, wrapped it up with some string, some bling and that is pretty much it...!

I was fortunate enough to win a bid for some stamps/dies/punches from Darlene DeVries... and here is one card made from the Stippled Blossoms set from Stampin' Up... what a versatile stamp this is and also my first attempt with layered stamping/water coloring... I like the effect alot!

Another Birthday card that was totally inspired by a beautiful card I had seen on Pinterest.. punched out the flowers from cardstock I had painted with my Kuretake water color set, along with the matting... easy peasy!!

Happy Birthday 05-2015

 

It's been a while since I've posted... Spring  clean up, indoor renovations, outdoor renovations and an upcoming wedding seems to have gobbled up a lot of my free time..

I did make a few cards..many were mailed out before I had a chance to take any photos! However, I did manage to take some time and get these posted.....

Traveling Tootsies...

D'Arcy and Philip sent some great photos from their trip to California... a real treasure trove for me to Scrapbook.... Thanks Guys!! hee hee

This photo really stood out for me... it was not only a wonderful picture... but I laughed when I realized that I immediately recognized my son's feet!!

Papers and embellishments are a real mixture from my stash... some Heidi Swapp...October Afternoon..and some I have NO idea where they originally came from!!

Capture this Smile...

This Layout was  truly a Joy for me to create...my son's wonderful partner Philip sent me the photo of D'Arcy holding his tooth-fairy pillow that I had made for my kids... that happy smile of his actually made me smile and shed a few nostalgic tears at the same time...it was off to the races after that!! hee hee
That wonderful sketch and color scheme for Case #157 over at CSI was perfect!!
I created the polaroid frames... pulled out my acrylic paints...then outlined them with a black photo pen...
I did a lot of stamping.. creating grids and photo strips that matched the colors for this case... and I even cheated and printed/fussy cut out those ADORABLE cats... they added just the right amount of fun and whimsy to the page....!!
I enjoyed every nano-second of this project and I am so delighted to be back scrapbooking again!!

BFF...

Loving the challenges over a CSI..and thrilled that I was featured with my last layout Case #155..
This is also the first time that I played with a mixed media background.. it's kind of like holding your breath and jumping into the deep end of the pool.... then racing for shallow, safer waters!! hee hee
Actually it's a lot of fun and I want to play more with this format or at least begin to incorporate some of these techniques into my scrap pages....
This layout was for Case #156... come over and play along!!
