Basic Grey Plumeria Layout

Hey All,

Again it has been a long time between posts.....but I do have a 12 x 12 layout to share with you.  :)

I had a chance this weekend to sit down and create.  :)   It has been a long long time since I have done a 12x12 layout.  I like the way it turned out.  :)

I used the Scrap'n With Flair July Plumeria Kit to create this layout.  I added a few extra flowers and some Lindy's sprays.




The Lindy's Sparys I used on the flowers were Icy Primrose Yellow and Magnolia Magenta Gold there is one other one I used also but I can't remember the name of it.  LOL  I am blogging from work again.  Hahaha

To create the banner I used the banner punch from Stamp'n Up.  The trim, stickers and transparencies are all from the kit.

I have been working on a wedding album and hopefully will be posting pics of it later this week.... :)

Father's Day Challenge - Scrap'n With Flair

Hey All!!!!  Well I had a super busy but creative weekend.  :)  Whoo!!!  Hooo!!!  I had a hundred other things to do on Saturday and Sunday but I seriously put everything on hold to play in my Studio.  It felt sooooo good.  :)  I miss my creative time.

Soo what was I up too....well I finished my Altered Dresser for the swap that I am in, but I am not posting pictures till after the swap.... and I created a Father's Day Card for my hubby

Tami, one of my Design Team members, is hosting another challenge.  Check out her blog for her contact information and the rest of the detail.   It is an easy peasy one.  All you have to do is create a Father's Day card, using what ever items you choose, and submit it to her before June 25th.  Really, it doesn't get much easier than that.  :)   Everyone who submits their artwork will be entered to win some I Am Roses from Scrap'n With Flair.  Whooo!!  Hooo!!!  Everyone loves prizes.  :)


I wanted to join in the fun and maybe provide some creative inspirations....here is what I came up with.



Here is the inside....the little piece of paper on an angle pulls out so I can write on it.



The paper I used was from Tim Holtz's Lost and Found paper stash.  I cut out some of the elements from the papers and then used a couple of stamps he created also.  The little gears at the top a Tim Holtz product also.  The stickers are from the Prima Almanac line.  I just inked them with Peeled Paint.   I inked the rest of the papers with Peeled Paint, Rusty Hinge, Fired Brick and Black Soot.

I am looking forward to seeing all of your entries......

Happy Scrap'n Everyone

ATC Book Page Swap



Hey All,  I have some swapping news for you.  I have joined a swapping group at Swap-Bot.com.  This is my first ever swap outside the store.   I am super excited to start....


Ok this first swap is an ATC Book Page Swap.  Basically the only parameter was we had to use a piece of a book page somewhere on he ATC.


This is the first ATC I have made.... here it is.  Let me know what you think.. :)









I used the Graphic 45 Curiosity Shop 8x8 paper pad.  I fussy cut the bottles, pillar and bottles.  I used Glossy Accents on the bottles and Distress Stickles on the butterfly.  I then sprayed the whole thing lightly with Goose Bumps.  

I inked the bottles and book page with Rusty Hinge Distress Ink and Black Soot Distress Ink.  I ripped an curled the edges of the book page.

This was a lot of fun to create and amazingly enough it didn't take me very long.  :)

I am participating in a couple more swaps.  A Matchbox Swap at Swap-Bot and an Altered Dresser Swap through A Lil Scraps of Heaven.  I am super excited about both of these.   

Elysia is working on a BLING swap over at Scrap'n With Flair.   I am thinking this one is going to be fantastic!!!  I LOVE BLING!!!!  :)  Keep an eye on her Blog

There will be more swapping fun to come!!!
