Happy Wedding Day

I made this wedding card for my niece who is getting married using a Darice Embossing Folder for the background.

Turns out the pattern matches this Spellbinders Die Cut called Fantastic Flourish One.  I cut it out and embossed it on pink cardstock.  I also used Spellbinders Blossom Tags and Accents for the sentiment, which I also embossed after cutting it out.   I stamped on Happy Wedding Day in black ink, and added two little white brads on each side.   I then added a pink sheer bow and a silver metal heart which has Love engraved in it.

I discovered a new challenge blog (new to me) called Die Cut Diva's and their June's challenge is called Is It Yours, Mine or Our's?    I chose the "Ours" theme which is to create a Wedding or Anniversary card.   So I am entering this card into it (my first post on this challenge blog.)

Mixed Media Journal

I had a nice writing tablet that the front cover was messed up on...so I decided to cover it and use it for a journal.  I started out by putting a white cardstock over it.  Then I embossed two smaller white cardstocks, one with a button pattern & one with a gears pattern.  After I attached those I put a thin layer of gesso over it all and then sprayed painted it with a lavender color.   I then added several different things to it - lace, a Flag sticker, a printed heart chipboard, 2 green glitter gems, a covered button, a cat, 2 different flower designs, heart clouds (the cat, 2 flower patterns & the cloud are all cut out from magazines), a silver metal flower, foam letters & a handmade red flower I made out of used dryer sheets, red spray paint, glitter glue, and a brad.

my "alter something" is the handmade red flower

UnstampaBelles is a challenge blog that does not use Stamps of any kind.

White on White

I made this card for this weeks challenge at Our Daily Bread Designs...which is White on White.

I embossed my card with a Quatrefoil embossing folder.   I used ODBD Ornamental Crosses Die Cuts...cutting four different crosses out and then I layered them.  I also used ODBD Canning Jar Die Cuts (the small jar) and stamped on four of the word stamps from ODBD Sweet Williams small stamp set. I added white lace to the top of the two jars.   I then used ODBD Vintage Flourish Pattern Die Cut to cut out the frame for the main wording, which is from ODBD The Cross stamp set.  I then added white pearls to the top of my card, and also on each side of the frame.

Thinking of you - Dahlia

Made this card using Penny Black clear stamp set called Dahlias.

The dahlia is done with watercolor red paint. The leaves are colored in with a green distress marker.  I cut the dahlia out and attached it with 3D foam dots.  The "Thinking of you" sentiment is from the same stamp set, which I stamped on a pinkish cardstock, distressed the edges and sponged around the edges with light green ink and also attached with 3D foam dots.    The background is a patterned letter print.

June Scrapbooking Challenge at Heart 2 Heart

It's time for a new monthly challenge at Heart 2 Heart Scrapbooking!

                                                           Everyday Journeys in June

         * 12" x 12" layout(s) all about an everyday life moment or personal journey you can share. We always scrapbook the special events and about everyone else. Now it's time to have a page or two about you. Make this a fun project for the scrapbook for future generations to see that you're not just a parent, grandparent, family member, or professional scrapbooker. Show us your inner diva, or that fun flying-by-your-pants person you know you are, or the journey you walk daily to make life better for yourself.
            * Incorporate (at least one) CTMH Flip Flaps.
            * At least 1 photo required.

Here is the layout that I made:

 My layout is showing the important things in my life that make my everyday life journey better.

My faith, family, friends, flowers and sewing.

I started out using CTMH blush pink cardstock for the basis of my layout.

I used the CTMH Artiste Cartridge to cut out my little scripture booklet, and also the rose flowers.

I added CTMH Flip Flaps to add pictures of flowers from our garden (there is one more flip flap underneath that also holds a picture of flowers.)   I used one of the chipboard Friend saying from the CTMH Skylark Complements, and the chipboard flower on the top left hand corner is from the CTMH Chantilly Complements.  Added some CTMH Clear Flourishes, the Celebrate sentiment from the CTMH Stella Complements, and a little dress cut out of vellum that I attached some silver washi tape to & pink dots.   I used CTMH stamp sets "Look To The Light" & "Family Love"

Hope you come on over and play along with us for our June's Heart 2 Heart Scrapbooking Challenge!
