A Basket of Apples

 I made these ATC's for a Facebook group I am in. The apple image is a piece of fabric that I ironed on to white cardstock. Then I dry embossed the whole paper with a Sizzix embossing folder.  I painted white translucent paint over the entire paper and image and added copper perfect pearls. The ribbon notion piece at the bottom tied in a bow is from my mother-in-law stash. 

 Thank you for looking.

Homecoming Season

With Homecoming season here, I thought I would share a scrapbook page that I did for my nephew's book. Sorry if the picture doesn't look very clear. Either a bad picture or it could be me not wearing my glasses 👓. Anyway, The arrow die cut on the right was cut using my Cricut, the freshman letter stamps are Lawn Fawn, date stamps by Stampin' Up! and the freshman sticker and star stickers are by Sticko.

 Thanks for looking.

Cricut Embellishments

 I made some embellishments last year that I don't think I posted on my blog. The die cuts from my Cricut are the background dies, the champagne glasses and the white label - bottom right that has the sentiment stamped inside. Most other dies are by Spellbinders  but there are a few flower stamps that came with matching dies. The stamps range from Deep Red stamps (Champagne bubbles) to Hero Arts ( Love flower and sentiment) and  rest of the flowers are by Stampin Up.

 Thank you for looking.
