12 Tags of 2013: June

I know that I've missed a month here and there, but this months tag

just spoke to me, so last night I followed along with Tim's step by step tutorial,

here, and I whipped up this bad boy!

I splurged and got my very first distress paint dabber!

I gotta tell you guys... it's really cool!

And super vibrant!

 

I'm off to the studio for some more creative time! 

Hope to have another post later!

Happy Friday Everyone!!

I assure you that I've been a busy bee in the studio, but alas I have very little to show you all!

I DO however have a fun little card I made using a new Angie Delarie digi find it in her shop

It's a quick fathers day card, 

I used up a bunch of scraps I had laying around the room from my bigger projects

Perfect for putting together something cute manly and burley!

 For the background paper I just spritzed a little dylusions inks,

then I added all my fun bits!

The little circle at the top was originally blank

and I decided at the last minute to add the U Rock Stamp

Only problem was that I had already stuck it down with a pop dot,

luckily for me I was able to get all the ink on it! 

Here is a close up!

Isn't this just the cutest digi??

Hello!!!

Welcome to the Denami Patterned Paper Blog Hop

You should have come from Emily's blog

and if you're jumpin in here then head over to the beginning at the Denami Blog

So for my creation I made a super quick card!

Yep, 7 minutes and 33 seconds for me!

I used papers from a Heidi Grace paper stack,

and the butterflies and the sentiment are both from Denami!

I'm always really challenging to stamp on patterned paper,

but when you use a pattern with a small design it's much easier!

I hope you're enjoying this hop

your next stop is over at Amy's Blog

I'm sure she has something fabulous in store for you!

Anything but a card challenge 21

Hey Everyone!

It's Sunday, and you know what that means right??

It's a new challenge week over at Anything but a Card

If you follow my blog at all (and of course I hope you do!!)

then you know that I have started making full 12 x12 layouts lately!

So I thought that it would be a perfect time to share one with you for this

"Male/ Men/ Dad/ Father"challenge!

Last time I visited my parents my mom let me take some of her older pics

and I just love this one of my parents

So I paired it with some recent pics I took of them last year when we went to the

grand canyon...

Of course I had to make them sepia like the pic,

but that old school sepia is so much brighter!  and the finish on the

picture is that rough texture that's so very cool!

Here are some close ups of the page...

So what are you making for Anything but a Card this two weeks???

There are so many options, and I'm sure the man in your life will love whatever it is!!

My Mind's Eye: June Color Challenge

HELP!!!

OMG I cannot believe it's been almost a week since I posted!

For all of you that are loyal followers I am so sorry!

I have to let you all know that I've been busy in the craft room, but not on anything that I can share with you here and now.

This is where you all come in..

I am trying out for a design team.

It's for a product line that I adore! 

I don't want to say that there has been a kaibosh on my creativity,

but it certainly feels that way!

Sooooooo

My question to all of you is...

do you have any tips or tricks that I should employ for this audition?

I am staying true to myself and my style,

and I'm going to borrow a nicer camera from a friend to take my pics,

but is there anything else that you would recommend that I do?

I appreciate all your help and anything at all you can recommend will be greatly appreciated!

On a creative note, I will definitely have a posting for you on Sunday

as I'm a participant in the Denami Blog hop on that day!

The theme is patterned paper, I can't wait to see what everyone creates!



Fishing in Florida

Happy Friday everyone!

for me this is day 4 of 5, and I'm already beat!!

Luckily though doing some scrappin has kept me semi sane!

Finishing up my beach day in florida, I made this layout!

the sketch I found on page maps, and you can find it here

the challenge was to convert a 8 x 11 sketch into a 12 x 12

I'm also playing along with the different hair challenge over at Saturated Canary 

Here's a close up of my girl and her fish, and the blue streaks in her hair!

and the collage of pictures!  I just love to order collage pictures from Walgreens, they are smaller in size, and I can very often get a good coupon for them!

Finally here is a close up of my title

See the letters are from 2 different sets of alphas??

That's part of the recipe challenge that Monica has put out for the

birthday celebration over at Sketch n Scrap! 

You can find that challenge here! 

And I'm also linking up with the Nautical challenge by Stephanie that can be found here!
