Another Autumn Card

Here is another card I made using scraps I had lying around. I made the card from my Art Philosophy Cartridge it had the leaves cut out already so I cut this out in white at 5.5 inches. Next I cut another one in the patterned yellow paper but cut one half off and placed it on top. Now for the inside it uses a masking technique I recently learned. I cut another card using a scrap piece of card and cut one side off. For the leaf side I just used reposition able tape and stuck it on top of the leaf shape. I then used my ink pads and dabbed all over it with brown ink like you would a stencil. I carefully took the mask off and voila a lovely stamped leaf branch. For the rest of the front of the card I used two borders and then a stamped greeting. Time to get dinner now I recently walked down to Whole Foods and got a cupcake treat for us it was a nice treat as we don't' eat them often. Time for dinner now have a nice weekend.

Autumn/Fall Card

Hi Happy Friday, hope you are having a nice day and will have a nice weekend. I made a card today for my friend Christina in Germany, she sent me a lovely Autumn card in the mail and I got it yesterday and it was so pretty with all the leaves and golden colors, so I decided to make her one as well as Autumn is a nice time of year with all the pretty colors and leaves.

I started with a brown card and then cut a lighter brown layer which I put through my Cuttlebug using a Darice tree embossing folder. I used white core cardstock so I got my sanding block and sanded the tree to distress it a bit and bring out the white. I then got out my chalks and coloured in the leaves with some orange. I used an Alphabet stamp set to spell out Fall in black ink. For the cute little squirrel I sized him in the Cricut Craft Room using Create a Critter at 1.5 inches cut in layers. I drew the face on myself with black marker. Hope you like my card and I'm sure Christina will : ).

I'm also going to enter my card in the following challenges:

Main Street

Hello I have a page today on our trip to Disneyland last year I realised after seeing the horse and carriage cut on my desk that I needed to finish it so here is the last page.

I started with some Mickey Mouse paper and then layered on another piece of red patterned paper and black patterned paper. I cut a green frame from my Artbooking cartridge to go around the photo of us. I added some stickers and then a horse and carriage cut my mum sent me from her Heritage Cartridge as I didn't have any images like this, it goes well with the photo of the horse and cart. Thanks for looking.

Ruby Mini Album

I have 2 pages I made quite a while ago on Ruby for the mini album I am making on her and I realised I forgot to share them. I really love the Christmas page as Ruby looks quite fed up with her reindeer antlers on so I thought the Not So Merry & Bright title fit well.

San Clemente

Hello Happy Tuesday I had some time this afternoon to finish a page on our visit to San Clemente this past August. I started with white card and then some dot paper for the background. I matted the photos onto blue. I added a floral border and some other floral and chipboard embellishments as well as a chipboard palm tree. I added some word stickers as well. For my title I used chipboard letters and rub ons. I added a chipboard word bubble on my photo and a rub on. Hope you enjoy my page.

Happy Day

Hi everyone, happy Friday, I am glad it's Friday we are going to the theatre tonight so looking forward to that.

I have a page today again from California this year, this is probably my favourite photo of the trip as Greg managed to get a great sunset photo of us but the flowers in the foreground also made the photo a lovely one.

I really love the chalkboard craze at the moment, it's a favourite of mine so I found this paper and knew it would make a great page. The paper came pre-printed with the little banner up the top and the title. I also bought the "You and Me" die cut on clearance and I like how it ties in with the chalkboard theme. On the banners I used white and black rub on letters to spell out the location and date. My lovely husband gave me that idea (thanks sweetie). I used some stickers to decorate and I used my Cricut to cut out the palm tree from Create a Critter and Straight from the Nest for the leaves. I used a small flower punch for the flowers and pearl gemstones for the centres. I really love how this one turned out so did Greg, hope you do too, have a nice weekend.

Coolin Off

Hello I have a page that I finished today of our California trip just in August. This one was at the beach in San Clemente. Greg and I had a great day on the beach and in the ocean. I used a sheet of ocean paper for the background then used my Artbooking cartridge to cut out the overlay. I cut the wavy frames for the photos from Artbooking as well as well as the title which was perfect as it was a hot day that day.

I added a strip of patterned summer word paper and some stickers I got from Big Lots in California (love that shop it's a treasure trove and the ones in California were even better than here). I added some trim and then cut an arrow from my Accent Essentials cartridge.

Beach Breakfast

Hi everyone, I'm back, I was on holiday with Greg in California and this is the first chance I've had as the dogwalking, gym and household things have been keeping me busy. I decided to do my first page on California, I really loved these photos of us in San Clemente in Orange County at The Fisherman's restaurant. It's right over the water and a lovely spot for breakfast.

I started with some white card and then a nice blue patterned piece which I cut a bit smaller. I then added another strip of striped paper and a border which I picked up in a pack from Big Lots in California. I added 2 epoxy stickers and then for the title cut out beach from Life's a beach then did the rest of the title in rub on letters. I cut out the heart bubble from Artbooking and then backed the negative part of it in blue paper. I used the heart from that near the title. I also cut the arrow from Artbooking and did some journaling behind it. For the final touch a shell embellishment. Hope you like my page : )
