THE SIMPLE LIFE

MONSTER CHILL

Good Morning and Happy Friday !!

This morning I have a rather simple card.  You know how sometimes life gets kinda hard and you just want simple.  I guess that's the mood I was in this week. 

This cute image makes me smile.  It is from the SUSANA LOVES STAMPS -  THE ODDLY SWEET CURIOSITIES SET - MONSTER CHILL.  He looks as if he doesn't have a care in the word and the sentiment was on one of the sheets in the paper pad so I cut it out.  I guess that is kinda cheating.

DIES BY SCACD - LEAFY BRANCHES

The beautiful die is a DIE BY SCACD - LEAFY BRANCHES.  What is so cool about this die is that you can cut it apart and use the leaves with flowers or even attach on another tree that may be on the paper or another die.

The flowers and rhinestones are from my stash.  The border is from the paper pad.

Have a wonderful weekend and I hope to see you back here next week.

MOMENTS

TIME FLIES

Good Morning and HAPPY FRIDAY !!

Today I have created something a little different.  It can be a tag, bookmark, or used in a scrapbook layout.  The image is TIME FLIES  from FAIRY DUST COLLECTION by Elisabeth Bell for SCACD.  If you haven't seen this collection it is so versatile and cute.  The background is various stamps and different colors of teal and burgundy with washi tape at the bottom.  On her wings I used GOLD GEO SHAPED SPARKLERS.

CLASSIC TIMEPIECE

Just looooove this die.  It is so detailed and cuts beautifully.  It is  DIES by SCACD - CLASSIC TIMEPIECE.  After I cut it I sponged a little DELICATA Pigment Ink - Golden Glitz on it to give it a distressed looked and then applied mod podge over it and added some brads.

This is a picture to show how it can be used on a scrapbook layout.  It isn't a very good picture because I don't have anything glued down - still playing around with it.

Thank you for stopping by and have a wonderful weekend.  You can click on any of the pictures and they will enlarge.

KEY TO MY HEART

KEY TO MY HEART

Elisabeth Bell for SCACD - Fairy Dust Collection

Good Morning and Happy Friday!!

I just got back home from visiting my daughter and grandkids in TN.  It was a nice relaxing week and always fun to see the kids.  My granddaughter called me a couple of weeks ago and wanted to know if I could come see them and stay a couple of days and go to grandparents day with her.  It not only made her happy, but made me feel really really happy that she wanted me to go to her school and meet her teacher and friends.  

The project I am sharing today is a canvas.  I have been wanting to try one with all the tissue paper, paint, embellishments, etc.  It was really fun creating it and just trying different products.  I will say it took me a long time to do it, but I think that was because I had not ever tried to do one before now.

It started out as a white 5 x 7 canvas.  Then I applied black gesso and let it dry.  The key tissue paper was sent to me by a very very dear friend and I have been wanting to use it for a long time.  The image KEY TO MY HEART  is just perfect with it.  The metal gears are Idea-Ology Mini Metal Gears.  They are on sale - 20% off at SCACD.  Also, in the store are some beautiful canvas birds - Prima Resist Canvas - Birds.  The chain, keys, and flowers and from my stash. 

Did you notice the beautiful key corner die  in the upper left corner?  This die comes in a package with another die - Dies by SCACD - Fancy FLower and Key Corners.  I love using dies and even though these are detailed they cut the first time.

 

  .

This is just another picture to show up close the chipboard bird cage.  There is a product called glass bead gel and I mixed it with acrylic paint and love the texture.   Remember you can click on any of the photos and they will enlarge.  If you have time let me know what you think of my first real canvas !!

Have a wonderful weekend!

FAIRY DUST COLLECTION - NEW RELEASE

LITTLE ACORNS, BIG DREAMS

Good Morning,

Today SCACD is introducing the FAIRY DUST COLLECTION !!! These are 6 sweet and sassy Fairys that just make you smile and brighten the day :D  Elisabeth Bell sprinkled just the right amount of cute, charm and gorgeous on to these special little fairys. These are stamps for right now but also classics to use years from now :D

Before I get to the details of my image - you should have arrived here from WENDY'S blog.  She is a guest designer this week and has a fabulous project for you.

The image I am sharing is LITTLE ACORNS, BIG DREAMS.  She is soooo sweet.  Actually, all the fairies in this collection are super sweet.  The picture really doesn't show all the detail.  She is colored with a combination of Copics and SHINHAN MARKERS.  For the embossing I used a COUTURE CREATIONS FOLDER - EXOTIC. The mushroom dots and acorns are highlighed with gloss and the wings are highlighted with STICKLES.  The other embellies are from my stash.

Hope you are enjoying the hop and all the wonderful projects.

International friends can purchase these at Quixotic Paperie 
For the stamps here-

TAKE FLIGHT

Solid Blank Canvas and Flights of Botanica

Good Morning,

Today I am sharing an image from the BLANK CANVAS COLLECTION #2.   She is so beautiful and dainty.  The closeup pic is so you can see the shimmer and shine.  I stamped her in pink and then embossed .

This picture shows more of the detail.  Did you notice the little dandelions around her?  This is a NEW DIES BY SCACD - DANDELION KNOLL STATEMENT CORNER.  Of course, I cut it apart to look like the dandelions blew around her.  The black border around her was made using a stencil.

Since I cut the die apart, I finished out the inside so I could show you the entire DIES BY SCACD - DANDELION KNOLL STATEMENT CORNER.  Susana just released some other dies along with this one.  Check them out -Breezy Branches, Contempo Compass, and  Steampunk Wings (pair),

Wishing all of you a HAPPY EASTER !!!!  Have a wonderful weekend.

HOPES and DREAMS

MIXED MEDIA BLANK CANVAS COLLECTION #2

 

Good Morning,

 

It's the beginning of a new day and new week.  It is definitely spring here and I think summer is right around the corner.

 

The tag I am sharing today has several stamps, but the main image is from the FOLLOW YOUR HEART TRUE SET . This set is definitely from the heart.  It has a wonderful collection of stamps.  The words are from the sentiment stamp that only comes with the THE BLANK CANVAS COLLECTION #2 SET sheet. The background stamps are BO BUNNY CLEAR ACRLYLIC STAMPS - GEOMETRIC and BO BUNNY CLEAR ACRLYLIC STAMPS - DISTRESSED TEXTURES.

 

Sometimes it is impossible to get what is in my head onto paper.  Red acrylic paint was used for the background.  The edging on the side is masking tape.  When I put it on I intentionally wrinkled it and then painted it.  The flowers, ribbon, and embellie is from my stash.

 

All of you have a wonderful week and thank you for stopping by.
