Share All The Details

This is a picture of my hubby and me. We went to a cabin in NM for the weekend and spent some fun time with family and friends. The papers used here are from my swirlydoos kit. They are the line from Bo Bunny, The Avenues. I am loving that soft coral pink. I used punches from MS and also did some distress inking. The flowers are from both prima and bo bunny.

I also used my stencil and applied some modeling paste with acrylic paint. I stamped some ink here and there.. with a little bling-bling. 

I hope you enjoy and have a great week!

Project Life Challenge at Stuck On U Sketches

Hi everyone! We have another project life challenge at Stuck On U Sketches. This project begins today, Oct 21st and includes Autumn Elements. Anything having to do with Autumn, and below is my submission.

Thankful

I am thankful for my husband, during hard times I know that we at least have eachother. These are pictures I took the day after my beloved doggy Cozmo passed away. We just couldn't bare to be at home, so we took a long drive and I was able to catch the sun setting in the horizon. Beautiful scenery and time to just think of the good times. My husband makes me happy, when skies are grey. 

Head on over to SOUS to check out the other design teams creations. I'm sorry for this sad post..I just felt like documenting moments in my life helps for me to get through things.

Hope you all have a wonderful week!

Great Times

This is a picture of my hubby, cousin and fiancé and myself. We were hanging out having a few..few..cold ones. 

I used the KOTM from swirlydoos to create this layout. The colors of both the papers and flowers are super gorgeous! I love fall and all the colors that come with. 

I distressed the paper, misted with a stencil, and colored my chippies with silks acrylic glaze. I also used distress ink for the edges on some parts of the paper. I just love how this layout came out.

Titled: Remember

This is a pic of my cousin and his fiancé. He had just gotten down on one knee and proposed. And, of course she said Yes! Love this photo. 

The papers used here are from the past kit at swirlydoos. Bo Bunny..hunny..gorgeous colors of green and pink. 

***I apologize for the lighting, it's been raining in Southwest Texas for the past week straight..believe it or not. So my lighting is needless to say, a little less than stellar. ****

Below are detailed photos. 

I used different chippies from different manufacturers here. Kaiser, Spellbinders and Blue Fern Studios. 

I colored them with Silks Acrylic Glaze. 

Hope you have a wonderful week and thanks for stopping by!

Round Robin Challenge at Swirlydoos

Hi guys! Just wanted to post a layout I created for the round robin challenge at Swirlydoos.
If you ever get a chance, stop by to this thread and join in on the fun. It's a great way to think out the box, and put your creative skills to work!
Here's the link for the Round Robin Challenge.

I got to start our team rolling so here is the layout I created.

Titled: I had a perfectly delightful evening with you.

Here are some close-ups. 

The papers I used were from the KOTM from swirlydoos. 

I used lots of different mediums to include, glimmer mist, acrylic paint, modeling paste and ferro special effect paste in green. 

I don't know what's up with me and burlap but I can't help using it on pretty much every single layout! I just love burlap..in all colors! 

Thanks for looking and have a great week!
