The Painting With Petals video will be coming soon. The stamp came today… I’m still waiting on ink pads

Simple layout using Halloween color scheme. Title is cut using my Silhouette. The velvet embossed bats are cut out along the edge and then the green mat is slipped behind the wings. Simple layout that came together pretty quickly.

It’s-Just-So-You

February 11, 2011

Using a template by Cathy Zielske. I love her clean style and yesterday these templates were all 50% off, so I stored up. Just a note, the feedback on the Painting with Petals cards was great. I will do a video. I’ve ordered the supplies and as soon as they arrive I’ll pull it together. [...]

pumpkin patch

February 10, 2011

There isn’t tons of journaling here, but what is here is truly from the heart. I wrote it like an open letter to my boys in the future. Layout is a scraplift of Nichol Magouirk. I knew when I saw it that I had to use it for these pictures. I loved the title (available [...]

Fall Ball

February 10, 2011

The 9th day in a row of Layout a Day. I’m 1/3 of the way through the month! I didn’t like the sketch assignment for today — it stretches too far from my grid like style, so I opted to do this layout instead. It’s inspired by layout by Joey Manwarren in the January 2011 [...]

LOAD: Day 8

February 9, 2011

Yes, another scrapbook page. Look, I totally get that I haven’t posted in ages. I also get that I’ve taken over my own blog with my own work and it isn’t even really cards anymore. I don’t care. I’m really thriving on a much needed creative buzz and I have more and more goodies coming. [...]

Comment if you’d be interested. [...]

February 7, 2011

After so much time off from making anything, the fever has gripped me and I’ve been locked away in the craft room since February 1st. Card details: Birthday Bella stamp, a collection of birthday papers that I’ve had [...]

August & September

February 7, 2011

Challenge: Complete a layout using your favorite color – or a color that depicts your mood. hmmm… That’s a hard one. I ended up rifiling through all my patterned paper collections and picking out my favorite. It’s this autumnal collection from Fancy Pants called “All Fall”. I love the paisley, argyle, and striped patterns and [...]

December (almost) Daily

February 7, 2011

Today’s prompt was to use whatever source you have for inspiration to make a layout. I’m inspired by blogs — and my Google Reader is a dear friend for finding inspiration. Accomplishment of the day: See that title? I downloaded “December” from the Silhouette store, but I figured out how to make “Daily”. Let me [...]
