ANIMAL LOVERS WEEK Day 2

Here is a beautiful layout by DAWN. Absolutely Beautiful!

ANIMAL LOVERS WEEK - DAY ONE

Good morning fellow bloggers. We thought would start off animal week with a layout. I did a layout of my dog, Lightning. He is 8 years old and such a part of our family. Including this page, I have finished a "Lightning" album.

On this page I used Cloud Nine Design Dog kit, which includes the paper, epoxy brads, and the words.

I did use the Cricut, PaperPups for the title Best Friend (page 124), cut at 1 1/2 and then I shadow it. The paws (page 112) are cut at 3/4 inch and shadowed as well.

We are hoping that everyone will submit a page they have done of their favorite animal or perhaps a trip to the zoo for animal lovers week and we will feature each day during the week!!! So please either email Kel or me and we will post it. Kel's email is achildinmind@aol.com and mine is lbaires@comcast.net

We can't wait to see them!!!

ROUND CHALLENGE BY KATE

Head over to Kate's blog and check out her AWESOME layout

CIRCLE CHALLENGE BY LAURIE

This was so much fun to do.. I had a lot of fun with the paper combos. I used Marachino Cherry chalking inks for the edges and chipboard and the coolest thing was I took sheer ribbon and ran it over the chalk inks.. It makes a cool outcome!

CIRCLE CHALLENGE by DAWN

So out of the box for me! I like how it came out, tho. I used a Scrapbooks Etc digital collage in Photoshop Elements to print the round pictures. Laurie and I used the Expression to cut out the circles at 9 and 11.25

FLOWERS AND FANTASY WEEK Day 4

This is was fun to do. I cut the wings out from the Indie Art cricut cartridge onto gloss white paper then I alcohol inked them! I just love playing with those inks, it's just fun to dab away and see what happens to your images. I also cut out the rose on the bottom left and inked that as well. I used gold and silver mixative on them and when ur done, it's like the image was cut from metal..it's pretty cool. The matting under pic and wings are pieces of colored velum. I'm not sure what "look" I was reaching for on this layout,I just happen to love this pic I've had sitting there waiting for paper...she has lil bits of cracker on her face and just the cutest look, I just had to scrap this pic! I just kind poked around my scrap stuff and cricut carts and made it all up along the way lol and had fun!

WELCOME KRYSTAL

Nice to have you.. stay a minute..stay a while..either way..come visit anytime!

FLOWERS and FANTASY WEEK Day 3

Here is a fun layout I did using the cricut markers. I was very very brave one day and did it! LOL. Thank you Custom Crops for the idea! I thought I was equally as brave doing my layout on white paper. I believe the designs and cuts are from Home Decor or Home Accents cricut cartridge. So ladies, pull out those markers and give it a try :)

FLOWERS and FANTASY WEEK DAY 2

Good morning!! I thought today I would show a technique for making flowers that I learned at CK Manchester. What an awesome day we had at CK. Can't wait for next year!!
So what you need to do it cut three flowers from three different pattern papers. The circles don't have to be exact, as you can see from mine. Just make sure they get smaller in size. I believe my bigger flowers is about 3 inches.




I then glimmer mist each circle. If you don't have glimmer mist, no worries, you can just spray with water.








Then crumble up the paper.







Layout each circle after you crumbled it up. Then you layer on top of each other.








You can add pretty brad, button, ribbon, whatever you like. Here is the finished product. So cute and super easy too!!!

FLOWERS and FANTASY WEEK Day 1

Welcome to Flowers and Fantasy Week!!! My post is Fantasy! Yes, I'm 43 and I'm a Twilight Fan.. LOL. Probably because I have a 15 yr. old daughter who is obsessed LOL Anyway, this was fun. I matted it in black, then flocked black paper then I did a layer of velum. I typed a page from the Twilight book and printed it on the velum, thought it was pretty cool. I stamped a red heard and put it in a small velum envelope because I thought it went well with the title "Look after my heart, I've left it with you". I framed it and my daughter proudly hangs it in her room. So, if you have a "twilighter" in ur life..this might be a fun thing to do for them..

Sunday
