10.14.2017...Scrapbook Saturday....a blast from the past....

I know I am behind on my scrapbooking....but this is ridiculous!  I was going through some old photos and came across this photo...man oh man did this one take me back....wayyyy back.  LOL. 

The photo is of my two boys, Joey and Jesse, who are now 32 and 30 years old!  They are four and six in this photo!  

They were such sweet boys and always making everyone laugh with their silly antics....love this trip down memory lane! 

Ok...on to my layout.... I chose a bright lime green cardstock to coordinate with Joey's green suspenders.  Next I chose a blue and red strip of stickers to coordinate with Jesse's suspenders and shirt. 

Blue alphabet stickers for the title were in order and I liked the metallic foil over the flat color.  

Since this was such a small photo I needed to give the page some balance so I used my stars maske and embossing paste.  Once it was dry I sponged blue ink over the stars.  Then I used my splatter brush and added some strategically placed splatters.  

Here is a closeup of the stars and splatters:

And here is a closeup of my silly sweet boys: 

10.13.2017...You Are Remarkable and Tranquil Tulips....

I was so pleased with how this card turned out!  So crisp and bright!

First off I cut a strip of Color Theory DSP and adhered it to the left side of the image panel.

Next I stamped my greeting using Memento Black Ink.  The greeting is from the You're Remarkable stamp set.

Next I stamped the three tulips from the Tranquil Tulips stamp set.  Don't you just love the depth you get from two step stamping!

The card base and tulips are Berry Burst.  The leaves and stems are Garden Green.

10.12.2017...Washi Tape Technique.....

This sparkly beauty was brought to life by glittery goodness. 

The card base is Basic Black.  The mat layer is gold foil.  I cut the leaf from the centre of the foil before adhering it to the card base.

The leaf is from the Seasonal Layers Thinlets found on page 216 of the Annual Catalogue.
The greeting is from the Remarkable You stamp set found on page 142 of the Annual Catalogue.

And now for the washi....oh the glittery goodness....it is called Year of Cheer Specialty Washi found on page 37 of the Holiday Catalogue. 

Washi tape is such a quick and easy way to embellish a card....and metallic washi makes it sooooo sparkly!

10.11.2017...Happiest Birthday Wishes...

How fun is this striking colour combination!

The card base is Basic Black and the mat layer is Crushed Curry.  The Designer Series Paper is Color Theory found on page 187 of the Annual Catalog.

The bird image is from the retured Simply Sketched stamp set.

I colored the image using alcohol  markers Y17 and DG2

A simple bow made from cotton yarn gives this an added bit of visual interest.

This card is a wonderful combination of old and new products!

10.10.2017....Thinking of You....

Here is a super Autumn card featuring the new stamp set  Count My Blessings found on page 50 of the Holiday Catalog.  Item #144790.

The card base is Cajun Craze and the Designer Series Paper is Painted Autumn DSP found on page 49 of the Holiday Catalog Item#144613.

10.09.2017....Pretty Kitty....

Sweet and simple birthday card featuring the Pretty Kitty stamp set found on page 49 Item#141864. 

The images and greetings were stamped with Memento Black ink on Whisper White card stock.

I coloured the images with copic markers.

Next i used a splatter brush to splatter the background ( I masked the coloured images)

Card base is Marina Mist....mat layers is Basic Black.  A few coordinating sequins finish off this quick and cute card!
