January 2014 Scrapbooking Class- Diamonds & Misting.....

This layout is made with photos from a long time ago....the year after I first moved to Winnipeg, my youngest stepson Justin was just four years old in this layout....and he is sixteen now!  

The kids in the top row are my stepsons, Justin (youngest) Devon (middle) and Jason (eldest).  Aren't they cute! The adults at the bottom is my dear hubby Mike, his Step-Mother, Carole; and his Father, Andy.

This was a weekend camping trip in Beausejour MB- we had bright sunny weather and a great time....until Saturday night when the heavens opened up and our tent leaked like a sieve!  

The next morning we were all soaked to the skin, all our clothes and bedding was soaked- and our children were green- literally.  Their sleeping bags were green colored, and when they got wet the dye stained their skin.  

We sure looked funny packing our stuff up in the pouring rain and taking the kids into town to the laundromat to dry some clothes for them.....green martians sighted in Beausejour MB- ha ha ha!

I used the new triangle punch from the new Occasions Catalog to create the diamond pattern. 

The top third of the page was masked with a bubble mask and misted with homemade spritz made from alcohol and Stampin' Up! reinkers- cool ! Here is a closeup: 

The cute little flower embellishments were made with the new Petite Petals punch and a pearl.  Here is a closeup: 

Now I know many people would say that pink and red are not colors for a "guy" layout....but I think this one works....what do you think?

Language of Love....

The fourth and final card from my January card classes.....featuring new stamp set called "Language of Love"

I love the Bermuda Bay and Pink Pirouette colors together!  

The embossing folder is also new- it is called Arrows.

Happy Watercolor...a bright spot of color in winter

This card features the stamp set "Happy Watercolor" from the new Occasions Mini Catalog.  
I love the watercolor spotch stamp....makes a quick, simple yet colorful card....and the best thing is that I used up scraps for the butterflies.

Life in the Forest.....

G'day Stampers!  

Today I want to share with you a card that I made using a stampset from the new Occasions Mini Catalog: 

This card features the stamp set Life in the Forest found on page 21.  Item # 133851 Clear $19.95.

This is such a fun and whimsical stampset that can be used for many many different cards and scrapbook layouts. The Bakers Twine is available in either silver or gold and  found on page 24 silver item #132976 $3.95

The banner punch is a sneek peek from the upcoming Sale-A- Bration , which starts on January 28th!!!

The background of this card was made by spritzing assorted colors and then I spritzed alchol with irridescent medium all over it....it is really much more sparkly than the photo shows. 

I LOVE distressed cards that are different!
