Hi, here is my contribution to this round of the PTI card swap over on SCS, found HERE. Since it's due Feb 1 I went with a Valentine theme. Card base is Raspberry Fizz. Stamp set is Borders and Corners Hearts, ink is RF and Sweet Blush. White layer is Cuttlebug'ed with Swiss Dots, DP is old SU, ribbon is from my stash, I think it originally came from Mike's. Punches are Marvy and SU scallop border punch. Tiny buttons are from my stash. Thanks for looking!
These pix are from when the kids and I and my brother Terrell drove from my mom and dad's to visit my sister and brother in law at their ranch in Evant. Terrell had flown out from NC. We had a wonderful time. This is for the bonus sketch # 1 over at Scrap Friendzy, which I personally thought was kind of busy, and this page is as well, but I'm happy with how it turned out. Cricut cartridge is Old West, "the ranch" is sponged in chocolate chip ink. Hardware is Tim Holtz, all else is SU, except for the cross-stitch stamping around the pix, those are Technique Tuesday. Journalling is Handwriting Dakota in rust colored ink. Thanks for looking--happy scrapbooking!
Well I got the second sketch done over at Scrap Friendzy. You can make either a card or a scrapbook page, to me this one looked more like a card. All supplies are Stampin' Up! Colors are Baja Breeze, Chocolate Chip and Parisian Breeze DP. Ran the DP through the Textile CB folder. Used 2 embossed and 2 debossed. I thought the debossed stripes could be a little more masculine. On the embossed one I sponged the raised areas and edges with Choc. Chip ink. Punches are Curly Label, Large Oval, Scalloped Oval, Ticket Corner, and I also used the butterfly die and the Movers and Shapers Curly Label die. It is slightly larger than the punch so you can layer. Stamp sets are Oval All, Cute & Curly, and Best Yet. The card in the upper L corner I also entered as this weeks CPS sketch. Hope you've enjoyed looking!
Before Christmas the kids and I went down to visit my parents at their home near Decatur, TX. I thought this was a great pic so I ordered a 5 x 7 print of it (which I trimmed down a little). This layout is based on a sketch for my friends' and my new blog, Inspired Crafters. You can see it here. Our amazing Banu has gotten it all set up and posted our first scrapbooking sketch, which she got from Page Maps. I just realized I forgot to put on a title! Yikes! I may be able to squeeze something between the photo and the journalling, for now it will have to do. All CS, ribbon, punches, hardware and DP are SU. The barbed wire which I substituted for the flourish in the sketch is made with the Cricut Old West cartridge (hey, Mike's was having a BOGOF sale okay?) . Colors are Garden Green textured(I thought it matched Em's shirt better than Wild Wasabi), River Rock textured, and Blue Bayou. DP is Western Sky. The font is Handwriting Dakota--I really like it! This was a really fun sketch and one I would use again I think.
Happy New Year everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season; I know I did. I don't usually make resolutions, but I did this year and one of them was to focus more on scrapbooking. My PTI buddies over on SCS were right there with some tips on some great websites to help get me started. This layout is for Sketch # 1 for the Scrap Friendzy Sketch-a-Thon. I really liked this sketch and knew immediately what I wanted to do with it. Emily got a ton of stuff for Christmas, but her absolute favorite thing was these SpongeBob PJ's, robe and slippers. Base is Bazzill, and layers are SU Yo-Yo Yellow, Tempting Turquoise, and the old Rose Romance, which I still have a sheet or two of lying around. One of the great things about scrapping more is maybe I'll use up some of my paper LOL! I got a Cricut Expression for Christmas and have been having a wonderful time with it--it is just so fun! Here I used Stretch Your Imagination for the panel with the holes (because SpongeBob is absorbent and yellow and porous you know), Accents and Elements for the scalloped border and the little fun elements, and Plantin Schoolbook for the letters (the last two came with the machine). The word "present" is stamped in Palette Noir with Technique Tuesday's Large Avalon Lowercase. I really like TT's alphas, especially the script ones. I used Doodlebug Designs glitter on the centers of the flower looking things. Journalling was done on the computer and the font is Party Let. Hope you've enjoyed looking. Did you make any New Year's Resolutions this year?
This card is for this week's CPS sketch. I used Elzybells stamps, all else is SU except for Dew Drops. I used the Liquid Applique with glitter again. Card base is Bashful Blue textured CS, other layers are Pretty in Pink and Wild Wasabi.
This card is for this week's Mojo Monday Sketch. I really like this sketch--it's simple! Stamps are Elzybells. I stamped the image in black Stazon on watercolor paper and watercolored with various SU reinkers and an Aquapainter. For the "snow" I used Liquid Applique and sprinkled Dazzling Diamonds glitter on it while it was still wet. After it dried I heated it with my heat tool and it pops up--very pretty! I love this stuff for Christmas time! Card base and scalloped circle are Bazzill, ribbon is PTI, all else is SU. This was such a fun image to color! I hope you all enjoyed looking.
