Watercolor Birthday Card

I love the way this card turned out.  I made it for my husband's birthday in October.   It was done on watercolor paper and I added texture paste through a circuit board stencil and then wet the paper and added various colors of watercolor and let them blend together.  I added a banner that I stamped on watercolor paper that had been colored the same way as the card.  I tied it to the front with some yarn.

Fabulous and Fun



I just finished this scrapbook layout of my beautiful granddaughter Suri.  I titled it "Fabulous and fun".  This was her first attempt at putting make-up on by herself.  This photo was taken in May this year (2017).  She is very creative but it was a little scary since she was only 6 at the time.

I used DCWV paper pad "All dressed up".  I used two tim holtz dies to cut the bird on a branch and the branches to the left of the photos.  I cut the film strip, bird cage and polaroid frame on my silhouette Cameo.  I hand crocheted two of the flowers.  The large flower was made from a dryer sheet and colored with watered down acrylic paint.

It's Delicious to Laugh little boy layout





I Just completed this scrapbook layout of my grandson in his jeep - the two photos on the layout were taken a year apart and it is such a pleasure to see the Joy on his face whenever he drives this jeep.  I used Creative PL papers from Aldi, Prima stamp for the date, Sizzix Envelope Manilla Large Die, Bella Kinda Krafty papers for the ticket stubs and various other elements I had in my stash.  The cars and the title were stamped with stamp sets that came from the dollar store that are just made out of foam with the rubber stamp attached to the back side.  I added twine, brads, and tabs that I also had in my stash.  I used my silhouette to cut out the polaroid frame and the arrow.
