Color Combo Galore #190

Hello friends, I am back!!! I like to invite you to hop over to CCG #190 reveal. >>Here Gorgeous inspiration awaits you! And join in the fun too! A generous sponsored prize from Nikki Sivils Scrapbooker. She sponsored the entire Design Team from CCG...... how big hearted is she!!!

Is these colors just lovely???? Here's my inspired creation "stay close" I love the muted colors...... I went for a artsy look..... spilling paints and crackle paints here and there. I like the whole random look with lots of layers! And I purposely 'blur' the photo a bit to give it a different feel.

My fave has to be the Sizzix die cut butterfly. I use a wood sheet from Creative Imaginations. This products is fun! I stamped on it and inked it a bit...... I love that vintage shabby feel, like i found this butterfly in grandma's stash!!! LOL These products are available at our LSS now. Check out Made With Love.

If you have not tried out the challenge at CCG, I like to nudge you a bit!! Go over and try!!! See you soon! Today will be a scrappy happy day!

Some projects

I am in a busy daze now... but I am happy. I find great fulfillment and joy in my work and all I do. So I tell other "I am happily busy"........ but my body needs a rest now. It is a good thing to pause and just let my old body recharge a little. I have not been scrapping much this week because of Easter Week. But I do have some projects to share.... now... my memory is failing me. did i show this before. haha.. This Mini Album was done in our Made With LOVE DT crop. It was sooooo long since I joined a crop! It was a hilarious afternoon with ladies chatting away, jokes shared....... i really like the social!!! Alrighty.... I need a rest now. Will be back soon Have a GOOD EASTER!

Bo Bunny Sketch Challenge

Here's a layout based on Bo Bunny Challenge using a sketch they did. Fun.... but I push the arrangement of photos to the corner. Just something different but yet true to my style. I did lots of layering....... I splatter and paint with Teal Glimmer Mist And this new fun product I tried - Golden Mica Flakes --- totally gorgeous!

Hope you have a great Easter Weekend. This has a busy yet fulfilling week. See ya!

“My Core’dinations Creative Frenzy”

Here are some fun ways to use cardstock from Coredinations.

First up is this layout I created using a piece of cardstock. I 'moulded' it to shape like a frame. Yes......... WATER + paper is so much fun! I soaked the entire cardstock in water and then dry it a bit. While it is damp, I put a acrylic block 5x7' and mould it around this block, to form the frame. Next I ink it, distress the edges, splatter some paints and glitter. This is a FUNNNNNN........ FUN technique. Try it!

I created a card with this embossed cardstock.

A fun way to play with it is sanding. But I want to share another way: the breaking down of the layers of fibers of the cardstock. First, wet the tip of the paper. Slowly separate the layers of fibers. I called this "paper wetting techniques" I taught this in my classes many times and people are always amazed!!! You will be able to peel off a bit.... leave it there to show the contrast of shades (pink in this card) Have fun! Paper + water may not be a disaster after all

A layout using the beautiful butterfly embossed cardstock. Sanding it is so much fun!

Ok, I hope you had fun with these fun tips.
