My husband's grandma passed away about a month ago...
I want to scrapbook a few pictures I have...so, I decided to start with these.



These were taken when we visited her so she could meet my first son N, about 2 years ago. He was a little bit over a month...

I heat embossed the butterflies (Antique Engravings stamp set from Hero Arts) in clear and inked the paper with a few different colors to match the photographs. I crumpled a piece of patterned paper (The Paper Studio), adhered it on the background paper, added the pics and the silver "tapes" (they are silver glitter paper from CTMH that I cut into strips).
"Timeless Memories" were cut using my Slice machine. I used a Copic marker to give it a bit of dimension.
Then, I stamped butterflies on a piece of patterned paper, colored them with Copic markers, added some glitter (Stardust Glitz™ Glitter Gel from CTMH) and cut them out. And I placed them (alongside paper flowers with gemstones) with foam tape.
Paper flowers are Prima, gemstones are The Paper Studio, and ink pads are Brilliance, Memento and VersaMagic (Imagine Crafts).

I realized that "Timeless" is a little bit crooked...but what you gonna do? It's already stuck! =)

I'm entering this layout in Hero Arts "Stamp Your Story" Contest.

Thanks for stopping by!

Supplies: papers, stamps, journaling card, and clear shapes by Fancy Pants Designs, ink by Tsukineko, stickers by American Crafts, gemstones by The Paper Studio.


A double layout I did a while ago...

I was going through all my posts and I realized that there where some months of 2009 that I only posted once...
I hope I don't stop posting at all now that I will be more busy (at my full time job) until the end of January 2010...

And I can't believe that Autumn is here already! =)
I've been working on some Thanksgiving cards lately...even Christmas cards. Unbelievable! Usually I start much later...

Well, to start the season off with some "Puppy Love"...a scrapbook layout with a picture of Jazz, my sheltie, when he was only 3 months old.


Supplies:
Stamp: Maple Leaf (Stamprints); Patterned Papers: BasicGrey and DCWV; Sticker: EK Success; Embossing Powders: Ranger and Tsukineko; Foam Tape.

Lately, I've been posting scrapbook layouts and cards that have no stamping at all...so, here's a simple layout with a little bit of stamping...
I painted the chipboard shapes with Lumiere acrylic paint and let them dry. Then, stamped "KISS" (with PearlEx Black) on the arrow.

Supplies: Patterned Papers (Autumn Leaves), Chipboard (BasicGrey), Chic Alpha stamp set (Fancy Pants Designs), Pearl Ex Black Stamp Pad and Lumiere Pearlescent White (Jacquard Products), Brads (7gypsies)

The figurine was a gift from friends...and I just love it!
I tore the heart patterned paper and crumpled it. Then, cut out some hearts and adhered them with foam tape (on the corners).

"Love is...patient and kind.
Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude.
Love does not demand its own way.
Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.
Love will last forever,...
There are three things that will endure - faith, hope, and love- and the greatest of these is love."
(1 Corinthians 13:4-13)

Supplies: Textured Red and White Cardstock; Patterned Papers and Glitter Alpha Chipboard (The Paper Studio); foam tape.

An easy 8.5" x 11" LO...the puppies are Josie's offspring. Josie is my father-in-law's Parson Russell Terrier. They kept Sydney, which lives with my brother-in-law now.
I cut out the pawprint from the patterned paper and adhere to the LO with foam tape for dimension.

Supplies: White, Light Blue and Textured Brown Cardstock; Patterned Paper and Alphabet Foam Stickers (The Paper Studio); Rub-Ons (DCWV); Brilliance Coffee Bean Ink Pad (Tsukineko); foam tape.

Supplies: Black Cat rubber stamp (OnyxXpressions), Stitches (Stampendous!), Tiny Classic Letters Alphabet set (Hero Arts), Patterned Papers: Gabriella and Genevieve (Autumn Leaves); Cardstock (Bazzill Basic Papers); Brilliance Moonlight White ink pad, VersaMark Watermark ink pad, VersaMagic Cloud White Chalk ink pad and Sparkles embossing powder (Tsukineko).

This is Mercedes, my father-in-law's cat.

Supplies: Pipeline and Fuser Patterned Papers (BasicGrey); Vintage Botanical-Japanese Maple UM Rubber Stamp (Stamp Camp); Terra Cotta Walnut Ink Antiquing Solution 5% and Brilliance Dew Drop Coffee Bean ink pad (Tsukineko), stickers.

Hope you had a great Labor Day! I spent the day with my friends, eating BBQ and playing video games and board games... =)

I can't believe it's September already...Fall is around the corner! So, I've decided to make this LO ("Pick of the Litter") with Autumn shades and hues.

I've also decided to choose a rubber stamp image each month and post 3 to 4 projects using the chosen image.
For this month, it will be Japanese Maple by Stamp Camp.

Now, back to the LO...my sheltie, Jazz, is 3 months-old here.
I stamped Japanese Maples in red and orange dye inks, sprayed Terra Cotta Walnut Ink Solution, enhanced the leaves with colored pencil and cut out the images.

Supplies: American Pet Dog Collection (Autumn Leaves), Birds & Butterflies White Rub-ons (BasicGrey).

Not much time to scrapbook? Scraplift!
This layout was inspired by Shannon Zickel's "Cool" LO (Scrapbooks etc., July 2007, p. 61).

This is my husband's niece. The dogs are my father-in-law's Jack Russell Terrier (or Parson Russell Terrier) and my Shetland Sheepdog.
