A Dream...

Hi friends!  This is a canvas I created using lots of Clearsnap goodies!  

 The background was stamped with Donna Salazar's Swirls stamp and embossed with Clearsnap embossing powder.

 Then I added texture with Ceramic Stucco and a stencil.  The entire background was then sprayed with Cashmere Smooch Spritz and inked with Petals Chox and Stormy Inx (Mix'd Media Inx).

 The quote is made up of Dusty Attic chipboard words and cut letters.

 Most of these flowers were made by hand using Donna's Bitty Blossoms dies.

To finish off my canvas, I added gorgeous Zva Creative pearls to my chipboard flourish.

Until next time!

Memories

Hi everyone!  This is a layout I made using another one of Lydell Quin's sketches.  I love her sketches... they really bring out my creativity!

For this layout, I used paper, canvas and burlap by Canvas Corp.  I suppose I was in a 'krafty' mood when I made this!  LOL

The title is a chipboard element made by The Dusty Attic.  I just inked it with Truffle Mix'd Media Inx.  The photo is of my hubby and I on our wedding day in 2010.

Beneath the photos, there are layers of goodies such as paper, canvas, burlap and chipboard chicken wire.

How gorgeous are these metal charms?!  You can find them at Handmade Halo along with LOTS of other embellies!  The little kraft flowers are handmade from Bitty Blossoms dies.  I love these dies because I never have a problem finding matching flowers for my projects b/c I can make them from coordinating paper.  I still have a few of these die sets in my store.

... manila tags with hemp cord...

... and a stitched & stapled heart... ouch!

I also tucked canvas under the edges of my background paper.  I love the soft texture of it! Thanks for stopping by!  Until next time...

Two Hearts, One Soul

Hi friends! Today I have the honor of sharing a layout I made as a Guest Designer at Scrap Africa, a site that holds different types of challenges.

I was given this lovely sketch to work with.  If you look closely at my layout, I used stitched circles to portray the circles in the sketch.  The papers I used are by Pion Design.  I combined two different collections - Fairytale of Spring and Studio of Memories.  All of the papers I used for this layout are available in my shop.

The gorgeous cream-colored flower is a Resin Briar Rose from Handmade Halo.  The bottom is perfectly flat so it is easy to adhere to any project.  I love the realistic look of it! The couple in the photo is my dad and step-mom.  :o)

...such a beautiful quote. The gorgeous Decorative Scroll surrounding the photos is made by The Dusty Attic.  It is a double-layered chipboard element that is adhered together to create this 3 dimensional look.  I added pearls to further decorate this ornate piece.

The two center flowers are made from Bitty Blossoms dies by Spellbinders.  The chipboard heart button is also made by The Dusty Attic.

The title is made up of letters cut from the Pion Design cut-out sheet and chipboard words.

I tried to make the background detailed, yet subtle.  I splattered a touch of sky blue paint to bring out the blue in the papers.  I used an ink and stencil to create a tile texture, and I stitched designs onto the background.

These pearls are manufactured by Zva Creative.  I love the quality of their pearls/bling.

Remember

Hi everyone!  Natasha here with a layout I made a while back using Bo Bunny's gorgeous 'Little Miss' collection.  Green is my favorite color and I love how the peach complements the green in these papers.  The picture is of myself.  :o)

These inspirational sayings were cut from the papers and are the reason why I titled my layout, 'Remember'.  They are nice reminders to myself. 

The large flower is my Romantique Rose made from Rose Creations dies.  You can find the tutorial HERE.  The pink and yellow flowers were made from Bitty Blossoms dies.

The chipboard title, doily and vine flourish below are made by The Dusty Attic. 

The leaves on the Vine Flourish were painted with acrylic paint, and the entire piece was sprayed with ink.

The peach resin flowers tucked in my flower clusters are from Handmade Halo.  They carry a lovely variety of embellishments!

Have a great week!

A Daughter...

Hi everyone!  This is a layout I made using the beautiful Botanique collection by Donna Salazar.  I love the subtle colors of these papers!

This hand-made flower is my Cabbage Rose made from Donna's Rose Creations dies.  You can find the tutorial HERE.

The stitched flower in the background is a die-cut from these same dies that I adhered and stitched onto the background.

The pink flowers were made from Bitty Blossoms die cuts.  They are so easy to make!

These Dusty Attic chipboard alphas were painted white and lightly distressed with ink.  I wanted the title to blend into the background yet still be legible.

... another Dusty Attic chippie that was painted white and covered in Fairy Dust glitter.  You don't need to have super-duper chipboard alteration skills to use chippies on your projects.  A touch of ink, paint or glitter will do just fine!  Even bare chipboard elements are beautiful!

Beneath the punched edge, I adhered a lovely piece of vintage lace.

... more hand-made flowers.

The doily in the background is also made of chipboard.

The circle embellies were cut from Spellbinders dies and layered/stitched together.  Yes, I am a bit addicted to Spellbinders dies!  They are so convenient and make creating a breeze!

 Thanks for visiting today!
Much love & hugs... xoxo

Sunshine Baby & More Chances to Win!

Hello again!  This is a simple layout I made using Bo Bunny's Country Garden collection.  I guess I was feeling bright & happy when I made this!  Love Bo Bunny papers!

The photo is of my daughter when she was a baby.  She always knew how to make me smile... even during my tough days.  :o)

These chipboard letters (Bookman ABC Set DA0666) were painted to match the papers.  I added a few hand-stitched lines to underline the title.

I tucked in this chipboard border beneath a layer of paper.  And YES... it's naked!  I actually used bare chipboard!  LOL.

I LOVE using metal charms!  All of the gorgeous metal pieces are from Handmade Halo.  They have such a great variety!

... more flowers, another lovely charm, hemp cord and chicken wire chipboard...

Love these squooshy mushy flowers by Mistra!  Click HERE for the tutorial.

See the cute little resin dahlia behind the large flower?  That is also from Handmade Halo.  They have the BEST resin flowers!

I also snuck in a little lacing and a few eyelets.  :o)
