You're so cool

Okay, so I haven't finished the other project I was working on and I completely sidetracked. I belong to the Simon Says Stamp monthly card kit club and love all the beautiful inspiration that I find across Pinterest and many different blogs to scraplift and give to my friends and family as special cards. That being said, here is one of the newer cards I just finished that I found on Pinterest from Just Jingle blogspot done by Jennifer.  I haven't done a lot of watercolor but I just got this new watercolor palette from Scrapbooking Made Simple and they are all so shiny.  I thought it gave the card just a little something extra since I didn't use the glitter on the background like Jennifer did, I just used modeling paste.  It's always nice to have cards on hand for whenever you need them. I hope this card inspires you like hers did me.

Easter scene

Ok.   So I know I said I was going to post more.   Life got busy again:-)  Here is my version of a journal page by Shari Carroll.  I will post progress pictures as I go along as there is quite a bit of drying time in between layers.   I've never done any sort of collage before so we will see how it goes.   Here's to crafty fun!

Long Time

So it's been several months since my last post but it is not because I have not been crafting.   I just forget (shame on me) to post my projects.  So over the next few days I will be posting some of those projects and hopefully get back into the habit of sharing all of my fun with you.   Thanks for being a part of my crafty world.

Contest

OK, so I happened to run across this giveaway and thought how could anyone pass this up?!  This would be so perfect for me, as my big Cricut just broke and I'm in desperate need of a camera that actually takes good pics to scrapbook with.  Thought I would share it with you all and hope someone great wins :)

done by......

Good luck everyone.

This card was made for someone special to me.  This is my first attempt at the resist technique, so please, go gentle.  I used the distress ink and blended them together over the embossed background.  Slow seems to be the word of this project.  The patience is worth it though when you see the beautifully blended colors.  This is something I need and want to practice more of.  I think it is just such an elegant look.  For the bling, I didn't have any of the color that I wanted, so I just colored the clear gems with a Bic marker.  I saw that on a YouTube video and just thought "What a great idea.  No more buying bling in every color".  Hope you all had a blessed Easter.  Keep crafting :)

Easter's On Its Way

I can't begin to tell you all how excited I was to get my order from Impression Obsession.  They came out with the most adorable Easter dies and stamps this season.  This card was made with the sole purpose of playing with my new dies.  The creative possibilities are endless.  This is definitely a card I'm proud to send.

All cuts were made with the Impression Obsession dies except the banner.  I just cut that by hand.  The basket was stamped on top of the cut with the soft brown ink.  The butterflies were lined with Stickles with bling in the center for a body.  The bunny tail was made with the liquid applique.  Just add a bit of heat after drying and it pops right up.  Great stuff for dimension.
