Friends

 

Hello again!  Today I have a large tag to share with you!  It measures about 8"x4", and is comprised mostly of Dusty Attic chippies and Pion Design papers.

Thanks for stopping by!  

Much love & hugs...

“We can't be afraid of change. You may feel very secure in the pond that you are in, but if you never venture out of it, you will never know that there is such a thing as an ocean, a sea. Holding onto something that is good for you now, may be the very reason why you don't have something better.”

True Love

Hello!  Hello!  Today I have a layout to share that was created for my friend, Donna Salazar.

I had sooooo much fun with this layout!  I tend to enjoy myself when there is a lot of paint, ink and messy stuff involved.  LOL. 

I used corrugated board as the backing for this layout.  The paper layered above it is from Donna's Mix'd Media Stax.  I used many techniques on this watercolor paper... stamping, embossing, masking, inking, painting and distressing.

Donna and her husband, Danny, are the most adorable couple!  They are perfect for each other and complement each other well.  This little question popped into my head as I was thinking of the journaling for this layout.  :o)

 

... a cluster of flowers, a Bitty Blossom, B.Y.O.B. and stitching.  The metal embellishments in the four corners of the layout are called Rivets by Zutter.

I LOVE Donna's Sprightly Sprockets!  They come in chipboard, and the coordinating Spellbinders dies are perfect for cutting paper sprockets to layer on top of the chippies.  

On these sprockets, I stamped Donna's Crackle image onto them and embossed the image with Mix'd Media Inx Embossing Powder.

Beneath the photo, I incorporated lacing to add texture.

The background paper was also stamped with Donna's Crackle Stamp and embossed with Jasmine Embossing Powder.

These Bitty Blossoms are so adorable!!  All you need to make them are the dies and some paper!

Hope you like my layout!  See you next week!

Much love & hugs...

xoxo

'Thinking of You' Card

Hello crafty friends!  Today I have a card to share... GASP!  Yes, I made a card!  LOL.  I'm not much of a card maker because I can never get my cards to look as good as those amazing artists out there.  But I like to try.  :o)

I used Pion Design's Grandma's School Book 6x6 Collection to make this card.  It is filled with beautiful images and colors.

These little blooms were made using the Bitty Blossoms dies by Spellbinders.

The image of the little girl peeking over the fence was fussy cut from another paper in this collection.

The Mini Butterfly DA0364 is a chipboard element by The Dusty Attic that was painted yellow and sprinkled with Fairy Dust Glitter.

... the inside of the card.

I tend to add many chipboard pieces to my projects because I love the dimension it adds.

Thanks for visiting me today!  Have a beautiful week!

Much love & hugs,
