Memories

This is a pic of my grandmother giving my cousin Daniel a kiss on the cheek, while we sing to him happy birthday. It was so sweet and loving that I couldn't resist to use this picture. 

I used the KOTM from swirlydoos. The papers are from the .75cent Kaisercraft collection. They are gorgeous papers.  

I made the flower on the right using a mcgill punch. I also inked the edges with chalk ink. The chippy is from blue fern studios, fancy fob watch which i colored with crackle paint and spritzed with moon shadow mist from lindy's stamp gang. 

Here is a closeup of the flowers from petaloo and prima. Also the grungeboard that I painted with liquitex modeling paste. 

Here's another pic of the flower cluster. 

I hope you have a wonderful week!

Here is my submission:

This was a special week for me because it was my husband's birthday. July 10th..was his special day. And he got the best gift imaginable..other than my love..hehe, but aside from that he got a new ride! He was so excited to have gotten rid of his old jalopy and get into something new. I also took a pic of his half eaten bday cake..lol

Enjoy the Moments that make you Smile

This is a picture of my darling husband, chillin with his cigar in hand. 

I used the KOTM from swirlydoos to create this layout. The papers are from the kaisercraft .75cent collection. Lots of wonderful greens, teals, and yellows. 

This chippy is from DA along with the trim. I colored it with black gesso and silks acrylic glaze. I did lots of punching and ink distressing. I also used my TA glimmermist misting and spritzing. 

These flowers are from petalaloo. 

I just love cutting the zipper embellishment and putting here and there around the layout. 

I hope you have a wonderful week and thanks for stopping by!

 And here is my interpretation of the sketch:

Love Moments

This is a pic of my husband and me. I took this using my iphone. I also used my KOTM from Swirlydoos to create this layout. 

Below are some close-ups with more detail. 

Here you can see the distressing, masking, and stencils I used with acrylic paint. I also distressed the edges of my paper using some prima chalk ink. 

Love those orange/yellowish flowers. They are from both petaloo and prima. 

Awe..I made this flower using my tattered florals die from TH. I also colored with TA glimmer mist and inked the edges. 

The wood flourish is from kaisercraft painted with LuminArte Silks in bolivian blue. 

Hope you enjoy my pics. Have a wonderful week and thanks for stopping by. 

New Project Life Challenge at Stuck On U Sketches

Hello Everyone! Today there is another reveal at Stuck On U Sketches for our Project Life Challenge "Use Twine". 

Here is my project:

Project Life- Twine

This is a layout of my hubby when we went out shooting..doing the manly man thing out in the desert. 

I had several of these pictures of him and thought this is the best project to use it for. Shooting his gun and smoking cigars..what can be more manlier? 

But I have to admit, and as silly as it may sound..it is definitely a stress reliever to go shooting with my husband. We always have such a good time. 

So head on over to SOUS and check out the other design teams creations using the theme, Twine. 

Have a wonderful week!

Here is my interpretation:

Remember When

I created this layout using papers from my Swirlydoos KOTM. The papers are from the new prima "lyric collection". I also punched some circles using my new MS punch. I distressed the edges and painted with chalk ink. 

Some of the butterflies and flowers are prima wood embellishments which I covered with embossing powder from Lindy's Stamp Gang. I just love that stuff!

I also added some flowers from both prima and kaisercraft. 

The photo is one in the same, just duplicated and printed one of them in color. It's a pic of my beautiful mother and me. 

I hope you have a great week and don't forget to stop by SOUS to play along!
