SLS Lines at Your Scrap Book Place Challenge

A Rainy Hello from Alaska

You may of noticed that I've not been around for awhile, well let me fill you in on what's been going on lately.   As you may or may not know that I work as a Adult Case Manager for the Kenaitze Indian 

Tribe.  I help out approximately 20 of Elders and Vulnerable Adults each month, we have lost a few of them this year that worked with personally.

But the good news is that I had a bundle of joy come into our family (my first granddaughter baby Ava) then I lost my beloved father in-law.  So I really took a step back and took stock of my life to see what was really important to me so unfortunately my crafting has taken the back burner so to say.  

I will only be staying with YSBP as a designer for now.

So now to my creation for Your Scrap Book Place with SLS Lines as our sponsor this month and I've had the pleasure of featuring Pretty Geisha digital image.

Southern Girl~Tag Your It!

This week over at Southern Girls Challenge we are play Tag your It!
To play along is real easy  peasy....you just need to decorate a tag or put a tag
somewhere on your project

We have 3 sponsors this week, Iva Nova Chest, Stampotique Originals and Marianne Designs

For my tag I used Marianne Designs dies LR0250 and LR0112

 Stampotique Originals Stamps Stella 3053 and 8918 Aborigine Verse

I had a wonderful time making the background for this tag, using distressed ink and direct to

 paper technique to color the tag then placed in a embossing folder. 
Adding more distressed

 ink on embossed leaves I then sprayed on Radiant Rains Shimmering Mist.

Then placing Marianne Dies on tag, Stella sitting has been masked with butterfly wings hence

 "Stella Fairy" on the vines and lastly a few jewels for bling with the aborigine verse
