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.

Ribbon Carousel Challenge & Tim Holtz day 9


This tag was inspired by day 9 for Tim Holtz's tags. I used Trees & Leaves from Inspired by Stamps. The base is Tim Holtz DSP. The ribbon is from Ribbon Carousel. The Ribbon Carousel challenge is on hold for the holidays to give the team a break. We will be back in January. The saying is from my stash. Red liquid pearl was put on the tree. With the holidays, life has been crazy. I have been crafting just not having time to post. I hope to have more to share soon. It is for Simon says stamp challenge.

My first project is a Holiday project. This was a gift for a friends sons. I used Cafe' Ian for the front. I used a tutorial from Splitcoaststampers for the paper behind the image.
