CSI challenge!

Hi everyone! Today I'd like to share a lo that I did, as a guest designer, for the latest Color Stories Inspiration challenge. What a fun challenge!

 
Here's the challenge:
 
 
 
For the evidence I made a cloud (to the upper left of the cup) string (threads), something that hangs (string from the tea bag), Starbucks cup for the teacup accent. For my testimony, I used the words 'catch' and 'share' in my journaling.
 
I hope you will find some time to join in with this fun challenge!
 
As always, thank you for stopping by and have a wonderful day!

Mini book!

Hi everyone! Today I'd like to share a sweet little mini that I made with the Jan. Paper Bakery scrapping kit. So fun and super easy. As the base, I simply cut the squares from the Ruby Rock-it "Nostalgia" pp and strung them together with the ruby red ribbon included in the kit.

 
After cutting the squares, I applied paint, inked the edges, splattered with ink, punched holes (in the corners) to string the squares, applied my pics and alpha's and then strung it all together. Volia! Done! How easy is that!
 
For lots of DT inspiration, I invite you to visit our blog. And if you'd like to see the amazing kits that The Paper Bakery has to offer you can here. The project, scrapping, and mixed media kits are packed with all kinds of goodies that you're sure to love!!!

Z&Z Embrace the winter lo!

Hi everyone! Today I'd like to share a lo that I did using my fabulous Zeus and Zoe custom kit. This lo is all about embracing the winter....yes, that includes the wind, the cold, and the sparkling snow that falls! Yes, it's that snow that I love and hate at the same time....love the look, the clean fresh scent, the entire beauty that it makes, but oh do I absolutely hate shoveling the stuff!!!! Lol!!!!!!!!

 
See that fabulous background pp. That's from the kit....love it! So perfect for this lo. The red snowflake strip of pp is another one that was in my kit. Also from the kit are the small pieces of pp, parts from a vintage pattern sewing directions paper, and vintage cloth that's behind the pic.

Christmas memories!


Hi everyone! Today I'd like to share a lo that I did for the latest challenge at Paper Dvizhnik. For this challenge, they want you to do something that represents a Christmas from your childhood. I decided to do a lo out of wrapping paper with some tissue paper on it to represent how Christmas was as a child...it had both of these under our tree. For the tree, I took a picture of an old pitcher with berries in it to reprsent a tree.....yes, this is how I 'measure' my Christmas memories...pure, and simple filled with the excitement of decorating the tree, how the presents would look all wrapped up and simply thinking about what Santa may have brought....oh the pure joy of being a child at Christmas time!

Happy New Year!!!!

Hi everyone! Happy New Year!!!! I wish you all the very best as we start our new year! May you have many happy moments and may your inspiration abound! Today I'd like to start off the new year with a tag that I made using the latest scrapping and mixed media kit from The Paper Bakery. I thought it would be nice to make a tag with a picture on it, of my dd, and then use it on a gift for her. At Christmas this tag hung from a gift bag that I gave to her....she loved it and the idea of pictures to the person instead of their names. Just think of what you could do for someone special in your life with this idea!
 
 
Here is a closeup showing the spray that I used, which was included in the mixed media "Fun day"  kit:
 
 
Also, from the scrapping "Pay day"  kit, is the fun paper and alpha's.
 
 
If you'd like to visit the shop for some amazing kits, you can by going here.
And for some DT inspiration, I invite you to our blog. You're going to love what you see!
 
As always, thank you for stopping by and have a wonderful day!
Hugs!
