LOVE

here is a lo I did of me and my husband and his brother and his wife.. I distressed the edges of the paper around the photos. I added some ribbon around the the paper. and added a greenery.

I cut a vine out using the joys of the season cartridge, added some flowers and stickles.

I distressed the paper and then I used a mask to get the vine look to it. I painted the chip board and then lightly stamped over the letters. i really like how this looks.

TIM HOLTZ STUFF

so I am sure most of you already use tim holtz products, well I am now a big fan of TIM HOLTZ PRODUCTS. i have been seeing for a long time now everyone using distress and thought to myself it looked hard so i have stayed away from it.. But recently saw a couple videos on his website and thought i would give it a try so i went out today and got a few things... wish me luck... i will post as soon as i get some lo's done...I am gonna play around on (sunday)... I have a crazy work sch. this week so i am not sure if i will get any done this week.

ME & MY NIECE

here is a page I did of me and my youngest nieces. I took the pic in black and white and pulled some of the colors in her outfit out... This turned out to be a simply but clean lol. I used pattern paper and then plain paper, some flower ribbon, buttons buy basic grey, the dragon fly and other flower in the bottom corners are made out of wood (i found in the $1 bin @ Joanns)


I stamped a vine, and painted the chipboard flowers, then added some stickles on the tips of the flowers and the vines.

FAMILY TIES PAGE 1

Here is a 2 Page LO called FAMILY TIES. On one page is my husbands brothers family and the other page is our may. It is going to be a side by side page. Card stock is by colorbok,



The flowers are cut using the circut and painted using making memories paint and I used stickles on the tips of the flowers to give it a lil bling. For the center of the flower I used a large rhinestone flower. The vine was cut out using the circut.


I painted the chip board letters in black using MM paint then added Martha Stewart glitter.

FAMILY TIES PAGE 2

Here is the 2nd page of FAMILY TIES (side by side page). The paper is by colorbok. I did the same design as above. I wanted to use 3 pics for each page but i liked it the way it looked with one pic instead.


Here i painted the letters in green MM paint and added Martha Stewart glitter.

I made these invitations for a friend of mine. 2 of her kids birthdays are close so she is combining their birthday parties and being that it is near St. Patricks day she wanted it to be St Patricks day invitations. I don't do cards very well but thought i would give it a shot.. Once i had 1 done i just cut everything up and put it a side and then just made them like an assembly line... it was fun..

I typed the sayings on the computer and printed them on velum paper, used some St Patricks stickers, cut the balloons with the circuit and brushed yellow and orange stickles on the, then tied yellow ribbon around the side.


On this one i used hay like ribbon instead of the yellow.


In the inside again i typed the info on the computer and printed it on velum paper. I added a little phase under their names and then cut out the word 2 and seven on the circuit and painted it using making memories paint and added silver stickles, then added St. Patricks ribbon

PRETTY IN GREEN

Here is a LO I did of me and 2 of my nieces. I called it PRETTY IN GREEN because we all had green on and we didn't plan it.. I really like how this one turned out, I must tell you I got my inspiration from a blog I follow Pretty Paper Swirls Go over to her site, she does amazing work. I got the flower idea from her, as well as the stickles on the flowers, THANKS LYNN u are amazing...


Here the flowers up close I did 4 layers of flowers, I cut them out with the GRAPHICALLY SPEAKING cricut cartridge. sizes,4,3,21/2 and 2. I used fruit punch and orange peal stickles. I added a flower rhinestone in the center.

Here I used BASIC GREY for the stem of the flower, I added some other flowers that i had to add to the stem. I also added some rhinestones around on the page.

I included the word LOVE. The letter O is a size 1 flower, I painted it with MAKING MEMORIES YELLOW PAINT, then i sprinkled MAKING MEMORIES BUTTERCUP SHIMMER GLITTER on top.

WAITING

Here is a LO it is called WAITING because when i got up the kids were sitting on top of the stairs waiting to run down the stairs how cute.


The journaling reads.
Our faces filled with excitement as we wait on Christmas day. Too happy to speak we have lil to say. Staring down at the presents surrounding the tree our faces are filled with so much glee. It seems like ages as our parents start to wake. I turn to my brother and say how long does this take? We run down the stairs and try not to shout! JOURNALING WAS WRITTEN BY MY DAUGHTER

I WENT SHOPPING AT MICHEALS

I went to Micheal's today and picked up a few things. They had this ribbon for $1 each. How could i pass that sale up.. here is the ribbon I picked up. I got 4 x-mas ones and a couple spring ones.


While I was there I picked up 3 jars of prima flowers I have a bunch of these i love the colors.. They had these other flowers (don't remember the brand) they looked old fashioned, but they were $5 for 3 flowers i thought they were pricey so i passed on those but i so wanted them..

My new addiction (sticklers) I know I am a little behind. SO I bought 12. Did I mention I love sticklers!!!

REORGANIZING

I have been reorganizing my scrap room. I went and bought some storage things, which has helped alot. I went thru all my scrap stuff and wow I didn't realize how much older scrap stuff I still have. It has been hiding under all the newer stuff so i decided to start using some of my older stuff 1st, so I don't feel like it is going to waste... but it is fun to get new stuff. Here is a pic of a 7 drawer storage, I bought at walmart, both of them are full.



Here is a 12x12 3 drawer storage. I put some of my paper in it. I think i will get another one. i put it on my table I like how it is right at my reach...i also got this at walmart.
