MOM

A one of a kind card made especially for MOM using the new Graphics 45 paper line. Absolutely love working with this paper and all its designs. The paper I used is from the Domestic Goddess line. You will find many vintage patterns with this paper and the accessories are equal to the beauty of each line.

The card itself was made for a challenge by Whimsical Scraps & Bugs. We were given the task to make a card, using a photo of a woman with balloons. If you look closely at my card, on the cover upper right you will see the pic. The lady is laughing and holding some balloons. I incorporated the photo right into my card. I liked that idea. The card is rather retro and looks like it is from the '40's. Love this paper! Oops, I already said that.

Have a great day and remember to try something new today.

Happy Scrappin'.

ME

The above acrylic book is very sweet and would be the perfect place for those princess photos. Lots of pinks, greens,soft blue and even some brown. The paper, by Imaginisce, is the perfect compliment to this beautiful book.

I must say I thoroughly enjoyed making this book. Acrylics are definitely the way to show off beautiful paper, hand painting and rub-ons. Take your time to look at this book and let me know if you have any questions.

Happy scrappin' and try something new today!

Challenge #1 for Whimsical Scraps & Bugs

The above layout I made for the first challenge from Whimsical Scraps & Bugs. The challenge was to use orange, purple & black colors. 2 stars from any of our Cricut cartridges and 1 stamp. That is exactly what I did. The orange paper was scalloped on the side. The middle of the paper was spritzed with water and then opened up. The wetness of the paper was perfect and I could easily roll, rip and tear it. The page was then folded back to create an open window. Inside I highlighted the cute photo with plain purple and black paper. The black flowers are iron on appliques and they fit in just nicely. The center of the flowers have added orange pearls.

I love this layout and it was a joy to create. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Have fun and try something new today. Happy scrappin'.

METALLIC - ACRYLIC BOOK

Finished

I finished the metallic/acrylic book. It is not titled and I thought I would leave that for the person that purchases the book. It will also give them plenty of places to use pictures and add any special ephemera that will add to their subject. The book turned out better than I expected. I was wondering how to bring it together, but as you can see, as the pages were built on each other, that was not a problem.

The book has a very tailored look and to go along with its uniqueness. I am so pleased that I tried this method and will do it again sometime.

Hope you enjoyed following the book and that it turned out as you expected. Remember try something new today and happy scrappin'.
