Beach Feet


One of my favorite bases for layouts is canvas cloth.
For this one I cut a piece 12x12" and then painted with Gelatos. I love how they smooth and blend so easily.
Stamped on the canvas using Staz On black with Artistic Outpost and Tattered Angels stamps.

The shells were stamped on card stock and fussy cut. Flourish by Prima.
Toes courtesy of the little one :)

You I Love


This is a bit different that what I usually do. Boy was it a challenge--I kept wanting to add "stuff". In the end though, sometimes simple really is better.
All I did was mist a piece of Bazzill card stock with Glimmer Mist for the background, and distress the edges. 2 pieces of card stock scraps to matte the photo and a few Prima flowers (got to have my flowers). The sketch was from the archives at Sketchy Thursday.
Thanks as always for looking and have a great day

Have a Voice


Here is a quick ATC I did up tonight.
I joined an ATC swap hosted by Roni over on her blog Inkstains. And while I have some already made up I wanted to make more.
This one came about from a paper towel I had on my desk that I use to clean up paint. Once it dried I stamped on it with a script stamp from Kaisercraft using Staz On ink. The flower and vine stamp is from Club Scrap and I added a few highlights with Shimmerz glitter paint.
The collage image is from Ten Two Studios. The stickers come from sheets of words I have--I wish I knew who made them because they are my favorite thing to use right now. I put a tiny bit of pink watercolor paint over the white on them to help them fit in more with my card.

Thanks as always for looking and commenting.

In the Alps


Me and the girls in the Alps. It was a bit chilly but seeing as my husband made us hike up to the castle we didn't mind much.
All paper is Bo Bunny. The flourishes were made by painting a stamp with Shimmerz Glitter paint. My chipboard was painted with Magical Micas from Lindy's Stamp Gang.

Climbing the Stairs


This is the littlest one climbing the stairs in our hotel in Amsterdam. All I can say is thank goodness for elevators.
I did this page up for a challenge over at Swirlydoos called emerging color.
Taking the butterfly stamps from Pink Paislee I stamped in color on the right sided paper. Over stamped with Kaisercraft script stamp and embossed with clear EP. Rubbed several shades of Distress inks over and the embossed script resists the ink showing the cool underneath.
The hinges are from Dusty Attic. Sprayed with Glimmer mist and embossed with UTEE.
All the patterned paper is from the BoBunny Gabrielle line
