Wee Memories #51: tangled up

This sunny card was inspired by this week's challenge over at Wee Memories: Tangled Up.  This week's challenge is sponsored by The Twinery. 

 I made the sunrays with 2 colors of twine from The Twinery, mandarin and lemon drop. 

I think that's an OLD Bazzill big brad there in the center.

Supplies

Ink: Distress Marmalade

Stamps: flourish in stash, sentiment by Stamps by Judith

Cloud Paper; American Crafts

Other: Bazzill brad, Twine, gems

Hope your day is filled with sunshine!

Lawnscaping #7: a happy hello

Happy Hello to ya!

I designed this card for the Lawnscaping Challenge #7: Make your own background.

I paired the smiley face icon of "Say Cheese" with Harold's ABCs for the "happy". 

I started to use red and it quickly gave a mustard/ketchup feel so I bagged that idea.

I like the black, yellow and white much better. 

Supplies:

Stamps:  Lawn Fawn's "Say Cheese" and "Harold's ABC"

Ink: Memento

Papers: BG and cardstock

Misc:  Twine, rick rack, pop dots, Cuttin Up cart, Spellbinders Labels One, flower, Glossy Accents

Have a great day!

Wee Memories #50: b-day card

Hello.

I am sharing a birthday card for our nephew.

I was inspired by Wee Memories Challenge #50, which is a color challenge this week. 

The inspiration photo urged me to take a multi-color approach for a festive card.

The cupcake was stamped on 5 different colors of cardstock as well as white.
I paper pieced the icing to the colored pieces and added dimensional paint to the icing.
Cutting these tiny pieces is really getting to be a challenge.
I must get to the eye doctor. 
Time for a check up when ya can't see anything up close.

Inspiration Photo:

Supplies:
Papers:  Basic Grey "cupcake" and cardstock
Stamps:  Lawn Fawn "Bannerific" and Basic Grey value set
Ink: Memento black, Faded Jeans distress
Other: Thickers #5, dimensional paint, pop dots, twine, Stickles

Thanks for coming by!

Christmas 2008 LO#2

Hello.

Today I am sharing a Christmas layout for 2008.

I used Allison Davis' Sketchbook volume 6 for the design.

Not real crazy about the papers, but I bought the pack a

long time ago and didn't want to waste. LOVE the stickers though!

I added some liquid pearls to Santa and red Stickles to

Rudolph's nose and the peppermint candy.

This layout highlights some of our holiday traditions.

I made a different 2 page LO that has the family pics and the boys

opening and playing with their gifts.

I generally do 4 pages for each Christmas and birthday. 

The boys are 3 1/2 and 1 1/2 here.

Thanks for looking.

Christmas 2009 gets the Basic Grey "Jovial" line!  Yippee!

SI#213: Christmas LO 2008

Here's a layout using Sketch Inspiration's Sketch #213

The packages were cut out of another sheet of paper and then

I added Stickles and floss to enhance them.

I added liquid Pearls and Stickles to the sticker on the right also. 

The right side is just a collage of photos.

Here's the great sketch.  I used the presents in place of the vines and flowers on the left.

Papers:  Karen Foster and cardstock
Other:  Stickles, Liquid Pearls, floss, gems, EK scallop edge punch

Thanks for visiting.  Trying to catch up (ha ha ha) on some scrapbooking....

I *think* it's from 2 Sketches 4 You or Limelight Papercrafts.

Supplies:

Papers:  SEI Granny's Kitchen

Ink: Distress Vintage Photo

Stamp:  SU

They are really diggin' the stamping and the "magic" of the clear stamp, ha ha!!
