Happy Friday!!! Long time no post. I always have the best intentions when it comes to this blog but I have been dropping the ball lately. Life just gets in the way. The kids will be finished school next week. I can't believe Riley is finished with Grade 4!! How did that happen?!?! And Dev will be in grade 3 next year. It's crazy. And sad. My babies are growing up.
I have lots of photos to share and a few projects, too. CHA (Craft and Hobby) show is right around the corner and I have been busy this week creating projects for that. I can't share them yet, but I will soon. I can share this...the summer issue of Scrapbook and Cards, Today is available! Did you get your copy? This issue is fabulous! I love all of the colour that comes with this time of year! I focused on some fun embossing techniques for Designer Notebook this issue. Here is the layout I created using embossing diecuts and sanding shapes under white core paper.
There are four other embossing/de-bossing ideas you might want to take a look at as well. Make sure to head over to the Scrapbook and Cards, Today site to check out the summer issue.
As you may have read in my last post, I was the guest designer on the My Little Shoebox blog this month. I love how cute the MLS lines are and they are full of polka dots, which makes this girl very happy!!! Here are the remaining projects I created.
Thanks for letting me play, Erin! It was "mucho, mucho" fun!!!
If you frequent 2 Peas in a Bucket you may have been following Nicole Magouirk's Class "Scrapbook Stamping". I love this lady and her work and was so happy when she asked me to be a part of the June lesson "coloring stamped image". I love stamps. Seriously. Love them. So this was right up my alley! I also LOVE anything Ranger and especially Perfect Pearls which I refer to as little pots of magic!! So I decided to paint with the Perfect Pearls to create lovely iridescent stamped images!!! Here is the layout...
I have to say that his in one of my favourite layouts!!! It came together easily and I got to play with some Hero Arts stamps and Ranger goodies, too! Thanks Nicole!!! I love these types of challenges!!! And don't forget, Perfect Pearls are magic...you can stamp with them, paint with them, mist with them and more!!!
What else?!?!? Oh! Have you seen the new Mistables from Pink Paislee!?!?!?!?! Love! They have come out with a whole line of papers, chipboard, fabric flowers and more that can be misted any colour your little heart desires!!! I know! They are so cool! Rebecca has posted a few projects that the design team has created and more are coming! Make sure you check it out!!! Also, go look at this STUNNING layout by Karola Witczak!!! It is yummy!!!!
Ok. That was a lot of stuff! How about I finish off with a few photos. We went to Myrtle Beach a few weeks ago. I love MB and the drive there is so the best! The views are breath taking! Here are a few highlight photos...
(can't get these to center...I hate computers some times!!!)
We had a great time. I love vacations.
That's it for now! I was up until 3:30am working last night. This little lady needs her bed! 'night! Have a great weekend!!!
