Dream

This is my middle sitting on the beach in Kiawah at sunset.
I wanted a bit of a more arty page just because the picture was so dreamy.
The background is card stock covered with several colors of acrylic paint. Splattered with Glimmer Mist and dry brushed with Gesso.
Transparency layered under the photo, along with a bit of black tulle (hard to see in the photo).

The Chipboard flourish is Dusty Attic painted black. To finish it off a bit of Ultra Fine glitter was sprinkle over and the word Dream stenciled.

Layout featured in the August issue of Scrapbook News and Review.
Have a great day

Cousins

Layout done of my youngest and my nephew. Poor little man, only boy in a sea of girls. He holds his own though lol.

Layout done for the sketch challenge at Stuck On You Sketches. Used the September kit from Swirlydoos.
More Bo Bunny and Prima, I'm telling you I love these 2 lines.
I sanded the background of the pic to edit out a hand, ugly mattress and a shoulder. Brush off the dust and applied a layer of Golden glaze.
The background is spritzed with more Smooch mist and then using my Chicken Wire stencil from Crafter's Workshop added a bit more pattern.

Embellished with a bit of Prima flowers and bling.

Thanks for looking and have a great weekend.

Little Moments Big Memories

My middle daughter is an animal lover. All shapes all sizes, but what makes her the happiest are horses. We are lucky enough to have friends who own so that she can ride when she wants.

Layout done for monthly scrap challenge at PaperArtistsOnline. You needed to have odd number of pictures, 3 circles and cloud shapes. Now I really really don't like the whole cloud trend so my clouds are tucked behind the polka dot paper lol.

I used the September kit from Swirlydoos and a sketch from Sketchy Thursdays. The patterned papers are from Prima Printery and Bo Bunny Et Cetra. 2 lines I am in love with right now.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.

ersten Tag der Schule

First day of school.
The little one goes to a German kindergarten. This is her third year there. It's amazing how she can flip back and forth between the 2 languages without even thinking about it.

I used a sketch from Sketchy Thursdays that I had been saving.
Used the July kit from The Treasure Box Club.
Painted over the Creative Imaginations background paper with Gesso then watered down Golden acrylic paint and splattered it about.
Bit of machine stitching and Rub on letters and it was done.

As always thanks for visiting and have a great day.
