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.

Challenge Cards

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.

Blue Tree

Phindy's Place challenge is to use scraps. I cut my scraps with Tasteful Trim die from Stampin Up than glued them to a piece of card sock. I left space so I could add the glitter. This image is called Wee Tree. It is another hot coco holder. I got the template from Cutting Cafe.

Joy Tag 1

Ok, I am trying something new with photos. This photo was scanned then edited in photoshop. Not sure about the picture but it definitely shows the texture. I took a tag and rubbed evergreen distress ink (not sure exact name) on it than embossed with timber folder that had versamark. I then added white embossing powder to help the embossing stand out. The word joy was cut using a retired Stampin Up Big shot die than dipped in versamark and heat embossed. The flower is five petal punch. The mushroom brown bag was sanded after embossing to show the kraft. The base is Pool Treasures. This was inspired by Tim Holtz's tag day 1. This was also for Inspired by challenge. I went with the word Joy in the photo.

Dog Life

This gate fold card was created for the There She Goes Inspiration challenge. I used twine on the flower center and for bow. Pool Treasures is the base.
