Imaginisce had a product exchange with Cheery Lynn dies, and I was thrilled to get a set of 3 corner dies, a lace border die, and the gorgeous French Pastry doily die. Yes - thrilled. I love dies and I had that doily die on my wish list for a while now, so it was a little like Christmas morning when I opened my box and saw it sitting there :)
I made a layout, a card, and a tag. I love how the round Imaginisce embellies fit so beautifully into the doily die. And I love now being able to make my own doilies out of any paper, to match the collection I'm working with.
Just wanted to share a cute pic of Morgan and Eva yesterday evening. DH took this pic, using the waterproof camera, so I'll have to get some better shots later :)
This past Sunday, we got a Russian Tortoise. Her name is Eva and she is such a cutie. Our main task right now is to fatten her up a bit, which isn't proving to be so easy - she's not a big eater. Maybe as she gets more comfortable with her new home and us, this will change. I started a new blog, just for her, so be sure to check it out: Eva The Russian Tortoise Blog
And here are a couple pictures of her from yesterday. Also, I will be adding videos about her to my YouTube channel, and I already have a couple up (link to my YouTube channel is on the sidebar).
I'm the guest designer for Angie Delarie digi stamps for August! How cool is that :) Her stamps are always cute with a funky twist, and I had a blast working with them. The new release that I got to work with is a Little Red Riding Hood set:
I made a card using Little Red Riding Hood herself - I have her sitting on some grass, next to a tree - the grass and tree both come from Flourish With a Bling.
I also made a LO using the woodsman and the grandmother. I though the grandma was too funny with her glasses and hair bun...reminded me of someone LOL I used Amy Tangerine "Sketchbook" pp and the really cool black flourishes are also from Flourish With A Bling.
Hi guys, if you want to check out a photo tour of my scraproom, stop by the Imaginisce Blog today. If you'd rather see a video tour, I have one up on my YouTube channel:
I know this is a bit early, but I made a birthday card for DH - his birthday is October 27th...and I love the Martha Stewart candy embellie - dark side candy, eat if you dare LOL The stamp is from Ktaftin' Kimmi, colored with Copics, the pp is G45, and the flourish is from Flourish With A Bling.
I've been watching Bakcyardigans too much. If any of you have seen it, then you'll know where I got the title for this post form :)
Today, I'm sharing a LO about our little forest excursion back in April - we found a homemade zip line and got to give it a couple go's. I used Bo Bunny pp and Flourish With a Bling "Adam" vine. The laser-cut chipboard clock and butterflies are from Scrapmatts.
My dad will be visiting his long-time friends next month, and he had a photo of all of them together from 10 years ago that he wanted to give them. SO he asked me to make something for him - his only requirement was that it be "not too big" and that I include a quote form a song (which I did, on the back of the tray - see last pic). The tray is small - about 7"x7", which is really cute. I used Prima "Almanac" A4 pp pad and lots of metal Tim Holtz embellies - clock, gears, corners for the tray, pen nib, as well as the bottles, etc. The metal flower and butterfly are actually from Creative Charms. The laser-cut chipboard sign and scroll are from Scrapmatts, and I finished them off with WOW Embossing Powder.
I made a quick card using Scrapmatts laser-cut chipboard - I used their kite and flower, and finished both off with WOW Embossing powder. The card base is by Canvas Corp and already came pre-printed with the background.
Of course I had to scrap DD opening her presents on Christmas too - this is her on Dec. 25th, 2011. This is also using Imaginisce "Holiday Cheer" collection.
Imaginisce is having a "Christmas in July" week all this week on their BLOG, in honor of the new release of their Christmas line, "Holiday Cheer". I wanted to share one of the layouts I made, "Dec. 25th". I just love this paper - the colors and patterns were really easy to work with. This is DS on Christmas 2011, opening his gifts from Santa :)
A long post today because I'm sharing a mini album I did for Punky Sprouts - this is the newly released "Punk-a-licious" mini album and it's huge - 6"x12", actually, and a ton of pages. I also added a canvas page from a different Punky mini album. I used the new Bo Bunny pp "Little Miss" and the journaling arrow stamp that I used on many of the pages is from Cocoa Daisy. DH asked me to make him an album to keep at work, and this is the pp he picked out (I cave him lots of choices :) The vines, sun, clouds, tree, mushroom, etc are all from Flourish With A Bling.
Here's a video I made where I go over the mini:
Thanks for taking a look! Make sure to stop by often this coming week, since I will be having daily blog posts :)
