Sketchabilities #40/Christmas Kisses

Hey there everyone....it's reveal day again over at Sketchabilities. I'm totally loving this sketch....well I really love every sketch there!!! This is a layout of Ariel and Cole the day we made our cookies.

So here is the sketch....



and of course here is my take on it...



So lets see, what did I use on this one: MME paper, Prima flowers, Xyron adhesive, Maya Road flowers, October Afternoon letters & My Little Shoebox letters, and some red twine. I did a little inking around the edges with some distress ink and also stitched around the scallop background shape.

2011 Calendar

Well I needed to create a little calendar to put up on my board above my countertop in my scraproom...so that is my project for today which is also my DT post for AWDML.



So to start with I used a piece from a Maya Road chipboard album for the base shape. I used some Sassafras Count Me In line for the paper and put everything down with some Xyron adhesive. For all of the fun embellies I used... Tim Holtz: Gear die cut, tissue tape (symphony), accoutrements, and muse tokens, Tattered Angels mist (for the fabric flower & gears), Maya Road stick pin, and some pink tulle to tie around the chipboard and also to hang it with.

Thanks for stopping by :)

Canvas Picture Frame

Ok so...I have had this canvas sitting around my scraproom for like....EVER!!! I made the mistake of misting it blue probably 6 months ago, and well there it sat. So this weekend I was lucky enough to meet Tammy Tutterow (totally fabulous person) and I was helping out at the The Scrapbooking Studio where she taught her class. Friday night her class was altering a piece of canvas. So after coming home Friday night laying in bed thinking of buttons, flowers, & my blue canvas....well I knew it was time to attack this thing!! So today after enjoying another day of her creative inspiration , I came home after stopping at the fabric store to grab some buckram to make these kick butt flowers. I pulled out some yummy things from my stash and got busy. Here is what I came up with..By the way there is not a picture in this yet because i'm going to print a black & white one of my daughter and her boyfriend. The colors match my daughters room perfectly and she wants this. (I actually was making it for someone else..but how can I tell her no????)



Here are a couple different views of the embellies....





Well here is the long list of goodies I used on this project. 12x12 canvas, Echo Park Be Mine paperline, Xyron 9" Creative Station & sticky spots, Tim Holtz: Dies (Gadget Gears & Tattered Florals), Tissue Tape (symphony), Accoutrements, Muse Tokens, Ranger: Silver acrylic paint, Maya Road: Clocks & bling, Prima: Ribbon & white roses, Buckram fabric, Tattered Angels Mist:Bubblegum, Smooch: Black mist.

Cricut Magazine :)

WOOHOOO!!! Just a quick little post...I just got an email that I have a layout that was picked up for the upcoming June/July 2011 issue! Just had to share.

Two of a Kind

Good Monday morning everyone. Today i'm sharing a DT project for Kreaxions Punches. On my project today I used the Circle Cutter. I LOVE this thing. This is a layout of Ariel and I on Thanksgiving day. The title says it all. Sometimes we drive Tim crazy because we are so much alike. We have recently discovered just how much alike we are.



Here is a close up of the circle on the lower right of the layout.



On this layout some of the fun little strips of paper and the half circle on the upper left of the layout stick great after running them through my little Xyron machine. My paper of choice is Sassafras Count Me In line and some of the Pocket Full Of Rosies stickers. That funky button at the top is Tim Holtz Accoutrements and the charm at the bottom is also Tim Holtz Muse Tokens. I did a little stitching along the cardstock and use some thickers for my title and there it is.
