Great Times

This is a picture of my hubby, cousin and fiancé and myself. We were hanging out having a few..few..cold ones. 

I used the KOTM from swirlydoos to create this layout. The colors of both the papers and flowers are super gorgeous! I love fall and all the colors that come with. 

I distressed the paper, misted with a stencil, and colored my chippies with silks acrylic glaze. I also used distress ink for the edges on some parts of the paper. I just love how this layout came out. 

Don't forget to check out the amazing talented group of ladies at Stuck On U Sketches and what they created using the sketch above. 

Have a wonderful weekend and thanks for stopping by!

Hi everyone! Stuck On U Sketches is having another challenge which begins on the 13th of Sept and ends on the 26th of Sept. This sketch was created by one of our former leaders, Sandi Clarkson.
Please stop on by to check out the other wonderful layouts created by my fellow design teammates.

And here is my interpretation:

Titled: Remember

This is a pic of my cousin and his fiancé. He had just gotten down on one knee and proposed. And, of course she said Yes! Love this photo. 

The papers used here are from the past kit at swirlydoos. Bo Bunny..hunny..gorgeous colors of green and pink. 

***I apologize for the lighting, it's been raining in Southwest Texas for the past week straight..believe it or not. So my lighting is needless to say, a little less than stellar. ****

Below are detailed photos. 

I used different chippies from different manufacturers here. Kaiser, Spellbinders and Blue Fern Studios. 

I colored them with Silks Acrylic Glaze. 

Hope you have a wonderful week and thanks for stopping by!

Round Robin Challenge at Swirlydoos

Hi guys! Just wanted to post a layout I created for the round robin challenge at Swirlydoos.
If you ever get a chance, stop by to this thread and join in on the fun. It's a great way to think out the box, and put your creative skills to work!
Here's the link for the Round Robin Challenge.

I got to start our team rolling so here is the layout I created.

Titled: I had a perfectly delightful evening with you.

Here are some close-ups. 

The papers I used were from the KOTM from swirlydoos. 

I used lots of different mediums to include, glimmer mist, acrylic paint, modeling paste and ferro special effect paste in green. 

I don't know what's up with me and burlap but I can't help using it on pretty much every single layout! I just love burlap..in all colors! 

Thanks for looking and have a great week!

Here is my interpretation:

LOVE

This is a pic of hubby and me. I just loved how these colors looked together. The papers are from the kit of the month at swirlydoos which included papers from IOD and Creative Imaginations. 

Here you can see a closeup of the chippy treatment and also the stencil in the top left corner. I used some light modeling paste here. I also took apart this black flower and used it as a bottom layer to the pink prima flower. 

I used these pink brads, distressed the edges with chalk ink and did some hand stitching. 

Here is another closeup of my flower cluster. I painted some of these flowers with white gesso to accent the edges.  

Thanks so much for stopping by and hope you have a wonderful week!

Stuck On U Sketches Challenge

Hello Everyone and boy how these last two weeks have flown by so fast!!!!
It's time for another sketch challenge at Stuck On U Sketches. This challenge will run up until August 15th, so head on over and check out the other designs from our talented bunch.

Here is the sketch:

And here is my interpretation with close-ups:

Cozmo

This is a pic of my fur baby lab mix, Cozmo. He's such a wonderful and loving dog. I figured he deserved a spotlight, LOL.

This layout was created using my Swirlydoos kit of the month. And these papers worked out perfectly with these pics. 

 These are chippies from Dusty Attic which i painted with Liquitex Glass Beads and Silks Acrylic Glaze in honey amber. 

These letters are made by covering them in foil tape and running them through my embossing machine. Then I used some alcohol ink so the grooves and pattern show more. 

Here's a pic of one of the flower clusters. I made the larger flower in the bunch, the beige flower. 

I did lots of distressing and punching. 

Hope you enjoy and have a wonderful week!

Don't forget to head on over to SOUS to see some more wonderful creations.

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.

Project Life Challenge at Stuck On U Sketches

Hello Everyone! It's that time for another great challenge at Stuck On U Sketches. It's our Project Life Challenge and this time we challenge you to use Date on a Tag/Card to highlight a day of the 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
