Intricate die-cut birthday card in Aqua

The background paper is a Project Life card. The die cut is by Scrapbooking Made Simple. The sentiment was a Michael's dollar bin find. The rectangle die cut is by Stampendous. The stamped border is a Stampin Up, Mosaic Stamp set. Thanks for Looking.

Sew Lovely Border to Background cards

The border stamp that I used to make a background is by Stampendous. I upcycled a thank you card from the funeral home. They have a nice dry embossed frame. 

The card above was stamped with black ink and colored in with Copic markers. Then I matted the panel onto red and black cardstock before adding them to the base. The sentiment is a Fiskars stamped in black on red cardstock.

For the card above, I used different ink pads on the same border stamp using the following colors: SU Daffodil Delite, SU Pink Passion, Hero Arts Tomato, SU Ballet Blue ink pad infested with other blue inks, and the last blue is HA Cornflower. 

I heat-embossed a Lawn Fawn sentiment, pink powder onto the vellum. (I used vellum because I was covering up an oops but didn’t want to cover up my background.)

  

Do you see my error? Thanks for looking have a great day.

Black N White with a touch of red card

This is a coverup but I can’t remember what it was. Anyway, The border punch is by Fiskars, the white heat embossed border stamp on the left is by TPC Studio, and the sentiment is by Mama Elephant. Thanks for looking.

June Calendar Layout Kids in the Foam Pit

This is such a bright layout but the papers match the foam in the pit. The title is from my Cricut. The vellum sentiment is unknown. There are many scraps of paper. The blue/purple cardstock is from Craft Smith (Michael's). [Is it blue or is it purple? that is the question. lol]
The orange papers have a little more to them. The polka dot paper is by Papertrey Ink. The orange paper on the bottom row from left to right  I have a feeling that the first paper has something on it. The second orange paper is dry embossed with little squares, like the foam in the pit. The last orange paper is stamped with a border stamp by Simon Says Stamp. It's a tone-on-tone looking thing. Thank you for stopping by.

Grandma LaFrate's 65th Birthday party Scrapbook Layout-

The left page is a pocket sewn onto Creative Memories patterned paper and blue cardstock.
The front of the pull-out page protector is a reprint of the same picture in the front. I reprinted the photo after I annotated everybody's name on their body.
On the backside of the annotated photo is where I used a VERY old title and made a small family tree.
Some other things on the layout:
The Fastener on the left.
Red and blue swirly stickers by CM
Cricut cut-out of a large blue star out of Colorbok patterned paper.
The stamped border (blue lines) at the bottom is a Stampin Up wheel.
At the very bottom is a CM border that was pointy. I took a corner rounder to each point.
The Cricut font is Beef Cakes (lol)

On the right side, I used the same Coredinations cardstock. The patterned paper is by Colorbok. Same border s and star as the other side.
For some reason, I cut the title out of off-white color and I disliked it. So I colored on the tops of every letter with a Copic marker to match the blue on the left. I have a Cricut drawer and I have a baggy of these red diamonds. I was so happy to find them and be able to use one on my layout.

These layouts have been on my table for a while. I finally just sat down and did them. The next layout will be of Paul's mother. That is the last page of that book and the project. The lack of interest to go through a book that I just proudly finished has hurt my feelings. I don't think they don't want to look at what I've done, I think it's those memories of what the home life was like. I'm not sure what to say so I don't push it and I don't have hurt feelings that I once had...before things were revealed to me. Thanks for looking.

Manly Monday Layered Birthday Stars

My card today features a couple of star dies that I bought off eBay. They have a stitched edge and cut beautifully. I started with a white card base where I've stamped a Fiskars border stamp on top and bottom with brown ink. The patterned paper is by Creative Memories and I layered it on top of it brown cardstock, blue cardstock, a white star followed by a blue star. The sentiment is a Fiskars stamp and the small star die cut is by Lawn Fawn.

Thanks for stopping by.

Manly Monday Saw

My card today uses stamps by Papertrey Ink. I used the strip of bolts as my background pattern by stamping them over and over again in rows. The I adhered that white cardstock to a grey card base top folding card. The grey frame and the die cut the sentiment are cut out using my Cricut. I matted the frame with some black cardstock also by Recollections. The saw stamp was stamped with Hero Arts Charcoal ink and die cut out using its matching die. Then I stamped the sentiment.

Thanks for looking.

Border Stamp made into a Background Love card at Chalk Ah Lot

I'm posting a new card for the Chalk ah Lot challenge Love with chalk.

I stamped a Stamp N Plus floral heart border stamp from side to side while stamping part of the design off the page onto white Recollections cardstock with black Hero Arts ink. Then I colored the pattern with Powdered chalk mixed with paint by Stamp N Plus. The heart is yellow {Sunshine}, the foliage is green {Lime}, the butterfly is orange-ish{Passion} and the bows and ribbon are pink {Beauty}. 

The patterned paper is by Basic Grey and I used ribbon by Offray. The sentiment sticker is by Three Bugs in a Rug which is on an Elle's Studio circle die cut. The circle die cut adheres to a Spellbinders scallop circle that has been sprayed with pink Glimmer Mist by Tattered Angels. I adhered the whole sentiment piece to the card front with foam adhesive. 

Thanks for looking.

October Calendar 2011 Fallin' for You M-nT

Every year for Christmas I make calendars for family members. I don't think I have posted these before since I had to crop and clean them up for this post. I use the same photos for every calendar but run out of the same supplies making each calendar a little bit different. The top layout is on our calendar and the bottom is one of the other 8 that I made last year. I think I like ours better but what do you think?

Thanks for stopping by and taking a look.
