These are "Thank You" Cards I am working on for friends...



Stamps are by Colorbok an Unity Stamp Co. and I used an embossing folder from The Paper Studio (found at Hobby Lobby stores); paper flowers from Prima and gemstones from Hampton Art.

Thanks for stopping by!

I used the Perfect Fit-Birthday (B1417) stamp set, a 1.25 inches circle punch (EK Success) and foam tape for 2 of the circles.

I just tied green and black strips of tulle, tied a bow with a green strip, and trimmed all the ends for a round shape.

Hope you like it!

I used foam tape for a bit of dimension and Copic markers, for some color and some more dimension.

I want to take a picture with my mom...and I envision it on this scrapbook page that I made this week.
I know, I know...I don't even have the picture, yet...
I usually start with a picture, but I was inspired by the layout (on page 60) from CTMH's 2013 Spring/Summer Idea Book & Catalog, so I decided to go ahead and make it first.

After looking at it, and after checking out Heart 2 Heart CTMH Challenge Blog...I decided to enter it in the "Photo Inspiration" Challenge. They have a gorgeous photo as the inspiration.

I saw the challenge a while ago, and didn't think I would have time to play...it was a happy coincidence that some colors were so similar and I have flowers on my page...maybe I was subconsciously inspired... =)

Supplies from CTMH:
stamps, papers and gemstones from Buzz and Bumble WOTG (get it while you can!)
Love Blooms stamp set (will be retired soon! so get it, if you like it!)
Keyboard Uppercase Alphabet set
3-D foam tape
and
paper flowers (Fancy Pants Designs)
glitter
Chinese Knot Chain Punch (EK Success)
Doily Lace Border Punch (Martha Stewart/EK Success)
Memento, Brilliance, VersaMagic ink pads (Imagine Crafts).

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.

Apparently, I cannot use the same post link for more than one entry...so, I'm posting this page separately...
To see the first one, click HERE. Second one, HERE.

Two more 6x6 layouts for Hero Arts "Stamp Your Story" Contest...later on this week, I will post the page with the 4 layouts that are going into my Project Life album. The first one is HERE.

We took a short vacation last month. And my son is pictured, on the beach, making a sand castle.
I love seashells, butterflies and birds...so, when I saw a stamp set from Hero Arts on sale for 50% off, I just had to buy it! Good thing I did, because Hero Art's has a contest going on and I'm entering this page!!!
It's the "Stamp Your Story" contest and you can check it out HERE.
