Dem eyes

Everytime I  see this pic it put a HUGE smile on my heart
 I mean c'mon that face. Lol

Hi, sharing another layout.
Like I said before I've been documenting and memory keeping in a Traveler's notebook. I really like creating layouts. I go back and forth from a standard wide but I enjoy both sizes.

Have a great day!

Life is made up of little moments .

I've been memory keeping and documenting on a traveler's notebook. 

Here's a layout that is really simple and decent enough to share.
 I used a stamp set, die cuts and embellishments from my stash.

You're so sweet

Hello, sharing a card I created for Lawn Fawn previous challenge  #94.
 ( late post)
I was inspired by the entries.

I cut pattern paper and added all the elements border, grass,  sentiment, clouds and bears to the front panel.
Call it done. 

All the products are from Lawn fawn with the exception of the  pattern paper and large sentiment. 
I hope you like it and may you have a great weekend.

Dia De Muertos

Hi friends I made a
Dia de los Muertos card or Day of the Dead. 
I colored it with the traditional like colors and settings. 

I distressed the background in two colors though it didn't come out as I liked. Added the tombstones. Colored and cut out the images and arranged and adhered  into place. Then lastly stamped the sentiment in place. 

Will you be creating an alter in  both remembrance and  in celebration of your dearly departed loved ones?

Happy Halloween

Hello, I'm back with a not so spooky card.  I must say the die I used was like a puzzle after figuring out all pieces It was easy to put back together. 

I distressed the pieces for the scene with Wilted violet and black soot. Sprinkled water on the bottom panel then metallic watercolor for the top portion.

Adhered all the bottom pieces to part of the top panel so it could have something to stick to. Continued to adhered the trees and colored images. Lastly embossed the sentiment and  adhere the rectangle border from the die.  I hope you like it.

Hello,  sharing a fall card.
I did some repeat stamping on this card once I  was done coloring I didn't like it. It looked to plain so I then decided to use my Tombow water markers. I had to be careful not to use to much water since this was not a watercolor cardstock

Too cute to SPOOK.

Hi, this is my second entry for the current Simon Says Stamps Wednesday challenge- anything goes.

I did some repeated stamping and added the color pink to the mix.
Pretty simple I  went around the entire background with two ink colors,added the sentiment. 
Last minute I covered part of the panel with a  spider web to cover my mess. Yup a black ink smear

I die cut the haunted house 
, adhere that on top of the web.  Call it a day. Hope you like it.

This is a late post  I created last week and I totally forgot about it,  plus I've been under the weather but today I feel alot better. Thank Goodness.

I used my Brother Scan and Cut machine to cut out the word on this top base slimline card. I used a pattern paper to back up the word.
I glued a  few leftover images from a different project . (I usually stamp several to have on hand).

Stamped the leaves around the top panel around the word cut out using three different colors

Splattered metallic watercolor on it, then added a few sequins. 

Really simple and fun!

Have a great day!

Sugar skull

Happy Tuesday!
Made my first Sugar skull card in honor of Dia De Los Muertos (translation Day of the Dead).

I  downloaded a free Rose ( flower) cut file from Sugcuts.com.  The skull, flowers and leaves are from my Brothers Scan and cut built in designs. The background was previously made with distressed inks. 

I used several colors of cardstock trying to match colors up since some  flowers are layering pieces. Added gems and dotted white dots around the skull with a gel pen. Oh and I used Sizzix Brite-Ons shimmering paper for the Skull. Simple colorful and fun.

I hope you like it.

Boo!


Hi Happy Saturday!
Stayed up last night coloring up these cute Halloween critters. What can I say 
I'm in the mood for fall.
I was inspired by Jess McAfee recent video tutorial. 
I did a light wash of water over my cardstock (background) picked up some distressed Crayons I had scribbled onto an acrylic block.

Went back and forth several times , then picked up an additional color ( let dry). Went to darkened the top portion of the background. Then I die cut my spooky trees  and hill out( i also shaded in the hill).
Embossed the sentiments , glued the trees overlapping one, hill and the rest of the cute critters and accessories. Almost forgot to mention that I  went over the trees with a white gel pen .

I hope you like it. Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Take note, I think your great!

Hello, hope your doing great
Sharing a card I made from a giveaway I won from Reverse Confetti Instragram giveaway. Stamp set called
School days.

This is pretty simple. I distressed the background for a dirt road and grass. Masking  each side off using a curvy border stencil.
I then die cut a piece of cardstock using a medium size rectangle die ,trimming the edges and bottom off. Making it look like a photo frame. 

Trimmed my background to size, added foam tape to the photo frame. Placed my colored images to it then adhered to a card base.

I hope you like it.
