Coredinations page

This page was created for a publication call but didn't get choosen. I used Coredinations Bright Collection. I cut all pieces using different Circut cartridges. The photo is of me and my daughter during our summer vacation.

Pickle Layout

This page is for Authentique's sketch challenge. I didn't have 12x12 Authentique paper that would match these pictures. I used Glowing to use for the border that I colored with Lime Colorbox ink. The pictures are framed with paper from Gathering that was inked with Lime Colorbox ink. Everything was sprayed with different smooch sprays. Here is a close up of the title. The accents are twine that I made into circles. The twine was dyed with reinker and water. I will have a tutorial in the future on how to do this.

Here you can see the white netting and white satin binding colored with the same ink. All ribbon and netting is from Ribbon Carousel.com.

This first card is for The Greeting Farm recipe challenge to use kraft, twine, and button(s). I used this cute Ian image. The papers are scraps. The craft was sprayed with different sprays.

This fits Phindy's place challenge to use scraps. I just think this image is just adorable. Ok, need to get back to Christmas prep.
