Christmas In July Crop

Ok ladies....it's time for Christmas In July Crop with A Walk Down Memory Lane. Head over to the DT blog today for the start of the crop. It will go all week long and you have until July 21 to have your entries uploaded to Mr. Linky for a fabulous prize from our sponsor Jillibean Soup!!!!

Here is one of my challenges for today. Create a Holiday card....the catch is it can't be the usual card shape. I want to see those funky, fun shapes ladies.



On this card I used the fun paper line & die cuts from My Minds Eye...colorful Christmas, and added a little stickles for some shimmer.

Now it's your turn....let's see what you've got!!! Remember there are only 167 days until Christmas!!!!

My first masking

So I wanted to try something new. I was at the LSS The Scrapbooking Studio and saw this fabulous mask by Tim Hotlz - Timeworks. LOVE IT!!! So I grabed the mask & an Ink blending tool came home and first tried it with misting. I really didn't like it that way. So I checked out Tim Holtz web site and watched his 6 minute video on masking. This is what I came up with!!

I have the perfect layout i'm going to use it on but just wanted to show you my tag :)

Supplies used: Shipping tag, ink blending tool, Tim Holtz timeworks mask, and the following Tim Holtz Distress inks: peeled paint, faded jeans, black soot, barn door, & spiced marmalade.

I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out for my first time.

Smile....

Made this fun bright card to make someone smile :) This was for one of the challenges over at Scrapbook Heaven this month. The challenge was to use 4 layers on your project. Simply love the colors in this paper and rub-ons.



Supplies used on this card I picked up at our LSS The Scrapbooking Studio. Pattern paper, rub-ons & brad are from Pebbles, ribbon is Stampin' Up.

Creating for The Scrapbooking Studio

Had these fabulous pictures of the boys from the visit to papas house this weekend. Amy from The Scrapbooking Studio asked if I wanted to play with the new We R Memory Keepers line...Out and About. Of course I would!!!!! So here are a couple of layouts I came up with.

The first is little baby Marcos and his first visit to papas house :) Love this line and simply love the stitching on the background page since I can't sew but love that look.



The next layout is of Issac playing with his truck. Again this paper and stickers are perfect for these pics. Added a little misting action of course using 2 different colors, and some October Afternoon letter stickers. You can get this complete line at the online store here. On this layout I used my fabulous Kreaxions Circle cutter on all of the big circles.

Fun on the fourth

Here is a layout I did using my Pink Paislee kit from Queen Scraps. It helped me catch up on some July fourth pics I had from a couple of years ago!!!



This kit totally rocks. I love the colors for the 4th of July layouts. I simply love the touch of yellow that some of the paper brings to the layout. You can grab your Pink Paislee kit for only $9.99 over at the Queens Scraps store.

Coolin' Off

So here is one of my July DT projects for AWDML. I had soooo much fun playing with this fun, bright Bo Bunny Line. The colors in this line worked great with our pics from Six Flags. Did some doodling around the outside of the layout, and also on the squares of pattern paper.

Supplies used on this layout: Bo Bunny pattern paper and letter stickers, Kaiser Craft pearls, My Little Shoebox mini alphas, Fancy Pants buttons, ric rak.

Loving the colors and fun embellies. I'm hooked on making the flower on the lower right!!!

On this I used the Twitterpated Collection for the paper, and love the glitter dots!!!
