Easter Card

Hello scrappy friends!  Today over at Scrapbooker's Paradise it is Challenge #12 and the design team have some Easter and Spring inspiration for you.

I created an Easter card with some papers from the Echo Park Splendid Sunshine Collection.

I used my Silhouette Cameo for the card design and then embellished with some enamel dots, ribbon and fussy cut some birds and butterflies from the Splendid Sunshine Collection.  

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you are inspired to create something for Easter or Spring.

Friday Challenge #11 At Scrapbooker's Paradise

Happy Friday!  Today my fellow design team member Pam is hosting a challenge up at Scrapbooker's Paradise.  The challenge is to use a black and white or sepia photo and create a layout or a card with a splash of color.

Here is the layout that I created of my daughter

This layout was fun to do.  I created a stencil with my Silhouette Cameo and sprayed it onto white card stock with Heidi Swapp Color Shine Mists in Primrose, Peach, Sweet Cherry and then added some splatters with Black Velvet.

I then added a circular photo, which I cut with a circle cutter and a 4X6 photo in black and white and matted it with a pink piece of patterned paper and added a sheer pink ribbon and some large sequins.

 I adhered some of the die cut butterflies that were from the stencil and then some mini letter stickers.

I matted the white card stock background with a black sheet of card stock that I had used to cover the areas of my stencil so there is a a little spray on it.

I love these bright happy colors and hope you are inspired to join the challenge at Scrapbooker's Paradise.  Thanks for stopping by and don't forget to check out what my fellow design team members created with this challenge here.  Happy creating!

Scrapbooker's Paradise Challenge #10

Happy Friday and Happy Valentine's Day!  Today at Scrapbooker's Paradise Design Team Member Linda Pekrul is hosting Challenge #10 and the design team and everyone can play along.  The challenge is to create a layout, card or altered item using at least 5 of the following:  doily, flowers, ribbon, charm, pearls or other bling, stick pins, stickers, chipboard, die cuts, buttons or brads.  For my layout I used flowers, buttons, die cuts, ribbon, pearls, sequins, and stickers.  Since it's Valetine's Day, I wanted to create a romantic layout of my daughter and son in law on their wedding day.  I used the Kaisercraft Key To My Heart Collection of patterned papers, stickers, and die cuts.

On a white piece of card stock, I cut out a large heart design with my Silhouette Cameo and used some ribbon to lace the heart.  Then I added some sequins to the heart and backed it on the red polka dot patterned paper.

I also cut some vellum heart shapes and layered with some die cuts, Prima flowers and a button.  The flowers were painted with distress paint or misted.

I hope you are inspired to join our challenge at Scrapbooker's Paradise.  All the details are on the Scrapbooker's Paradise blog.

Dad Layout

Hello friends!  Happy Wednesday!  Today is Wild Wednesday at Scrapbooker's Paradise with a  masculine layout of my dad.

This collection from Kaisercraft called the Garage Days Collection was a perfect match for my dad because in his working days he owned a tire shop and when I saw this collection, I had to scrap a layout with it.

I used lots of goodies on this layout and they all can be found in the Scrapbooker's Paradise Online Store here so please head on over and happy shopping!

Have a wonderful day!
