01.28.2018....Weekly Recap....

Here is a recap of this week's blog posts: 

01.27.2017...Scrapbook Saturday....

This is a two page layout I made of my niece and her family who live in Calgary.

Looks like they were having an really fun family day!

01.26.2018...Happy Wishes and Sweet Soiree Decorative Masks

Did you ever sit down to design a card....with a definite plan in mind ...only to have it fail miserably?  This happens to me A LOT! 

Well, today's card is the end result of an epic fail.  The card I was going for was a bust so I flipped over the paper and opted for the other side. 

As I was staring at the blank paper wondering what to do....I spotted my new Sweet Soiree Decorative Masks found on page 13 of the Annual Catalog.  I grabbed the mask and some ink and a sponge and started sponging the beautiful floral background.  Next I grabbed an aqua painter and my Lemon Lime Twist ink pad.  I carefully water-colored the white spaces around the flowers.

The greeting was stamped with the Sale-A-Bration free set called Happy Wishes found on page 19 of the flyer.

Next I colored in the images on the greeting with my Stampin' Write Markers. 

I punched out the greeting with my Everyday Label Punch ( carryover item from the Holiday Catalog page 12 item #144668) and backed the greeting with black card stock and a piece of Lemon Lime Twist 1/2" Finely Woven Ribbon found on page 198 of the annual catalog.
