SCT 2021 - Mother's Day Card...

It's been a while since I've played in my craft room....!! I decided to put aside my scrap pages and make some cards... they are faster and easier to do and feel less stressful, at a time in this pandemic, when stress seems to be the daily norm..LOL

I also took a subscription for a card making kit with Scrapbook and Cards Today.. and this card was made from some of their papers in the February and March  2021 Sampler Kit... I punched the butterflies with an older Martha Stewart Butterfly Punch... I die cut leaves from a Tim Holtz Leaf die set and also die cut the Letters from an older Stampin' Up Alpha die set..

I really like how this turned out and thanks for looking..!!

CSI 333 - Life is Tweet...

 

There's another fun Case file over at CSI .. Although at times I do struggle with locating my Mojo, for the most part the issue seems mostly to be that I am trying too hard... Once I get that monkey off my back and create a page simply for the creative fun, then things move a LOT more smoothly...!!

There are many great scrappers and inspiration for everyone... so come join the fun...!!

Thanks for looking..!!

CSI 332 - Hello My Baby...

I know I've been MIA over the Summer and I am blaming it ALL on my newest little Granddaughter Avery Phoenix. Fortunately Case #332 over at CSI allowed me to use the colours for this project, as the other two files were School related and Avery is a wee bit too young for those photos..!! LOL

I also created the CutFile and textured it with some Texture Paste and a Stencil, both from Ranger Industries..

The papers, labels, birds and epoxy heart are from an older Jillibean Soup Collection that I've been hoarding..

The Fussy Cut Flowers are ones that I stamped and coloured from Altenew..

Hope you all had a great Summer and thanks for looking.

CSI 322 - Jae Happy...

When I first saw this challenge over at CSI, I wasn't sure I liked the colour palette..but as it happened I was looking through some stamps I had and came across some flowers I created for a card several years ago. I had some pink and orange ones and realized how they might look on a scrap page et voila... this layout was born..!!

This page is really all about stamping, fussy cutting, some older chipboard pieces and of course my beautiful granddaughter, too..!!

CSI 318 - Jae Selfie...

A new Month - A new CSI Case File and I have to admit that when I saw the colour palette I instantly thought of skipping this challenge as these are NOT my preferred colours..!! I spent a few days talking to myself and finally realized that I was being a big baby. I was determined to give it a try. 

I knew I needed some inspiration so I went to one of my favourite scrapbookers Missy Whidden and studied some of her past layouts. She is absolutely brilliant and I sincerely hope she doesn't mind that I scraplifted a background idea of hers. It was just what I needed to created such a fun page from such a gloomy-doomy beginning..!!

I altered the photo to make it look more like a water colour painting and printed up those camera cats from a former CSI challenge. With my trusty gelatos, sewing machine and LOTS of Gesso, I was off to the races..!

EVIDENCE:

- Animals

- Glasses

- Camera

- Polaroid

- Texture Paste ( I substituted the paste with several layers of Gesso)

- Plastic ( Striped Hearts - Stars/Asterisks - Word Arrows )

TESTIMONY:

- I wrote on the background. As it states in my journalling, my granddaughter loves to take pictures and I can really see her creativity in this Selfie. It also shows a depth to her character that I truly admire, she is not only a cutie-patootie but she was recently on the Dean's Honour List at the University she attends.

Thanks for looking...
