Heaven Sent


For Heaven Sent
I used
Echo Park 
Pettticoats & Pinstripes 
From my Double Shot kit 
from The ScrapRoom 

I fell in love with this bird at the
Bellagio's garden. To me some birds
are from heaven. Sent to us to brighten up our day.

I use my Lucky 8 punch from WeR to
make my half round circle doily. And as
you can tell I like to fussy cut thing out.

Hello Mr. President

Good Morning !

I want to share with you my completed 
Sketch Challenge from 
The ScrapRoom.

I you don't have to follow the sketch 100%
But is came pretty close. I did add a few extra piece
 of paper to my layout.

I worked in a tone on tone in brown's with 
a touch of pink.

In the photo is my mom who had
a big thing for President Lincoln.


To give some dimension to the background 
I rub a white cats eye over the Swiss dot paper.

Below is the Sketch I was working with.


The Blue Men Group

The Blue Men Group 
Show

They may not say a lot but 
they are very LOUD in there show.
We had such a great time at the show
with our family.

To bump up the background I used a blue mist 
and I swipe a while mist on the black card stock.

The title I used Thickers with a adhesive on the top
were I could add glitter to it.



The line I used for the layout is:

Fancy Pants "Attwell "
From the ScrapRoom 
Flavor of the Month Kits


April Cards

Cards, Cards, and more Cards 

I'm taking the time to make cards
from my left over paper from 
my kits from The ScrapRoom 

Made from Simple Stories "Heart "


Made from Echo Park "Pettticoats & Pinstripes "


Made from Fancy Pants "Attwell "

Heart

This layout is from my Heart.
I had more photos from my parents 
Wedding day that I want to scrap.
So I used my leftover scraps to create this layout.

I use Simple Stories "Heart " line 


This  is a nice complementary page to go with my Love layout.



"LOVE"

Love is a simple word
that discuss this line
from Simple Stories "Heart"

I want to show you can use 
today more modern pattern papers with 
your vintage photos.
It's best working with 
Black and White photos
It will get you your best results on you layouts.

Fun with twine


Fun with Twine.....

Twine is now a big thing to be used I on our layouts.
I mixed the twine with some of my wood pieces by 
wrapping it around the wood hearts. You could even 
use chipboard pieces to wrap.

 

April Color Challenge

I just want to show off my
layout that I did last
April for the
Taste of color challenge 
for The ScrapRoom.
We could pick 3-5 of the colors
 to work with.
I decided to do all 5 of the color.
I like to challenge myself.


There the color we got to chose from.
