Mother's Day

I thought I would get at jump start on Mother's Day since I am so far behind for Easter. 

I used the sketch at Utah Divas for this card. My yellow paper is actually acrylic paint on Crumb Cake card stock. Run it through the Big Shot and filed off some the paint on the embossed section. I used Everyday Enchantment paper, it is free for a few more days in the Sale a Bration catalog with your $50 purchase.

Have a great day ~ Shelley

1st Easter card

I can't believe Easter is only a couple weeks away and this is the first Easter card I have made. I'm not sure where my mind has been. I just dawned on me the other day how soon it would be here! You think with the beautiful weather we have had and all the daffodils around I would have thought of it earlier.

I actually made several cards this weekend and even got a few extra things completed too. I used the sketch at Stamping 411 and dug out my Easter Blossoms stamp set from last year. I still love this set, so pretty.

TAP DANCING

Happy Monday All!

Today I have a fun technique card to share. In Stampin Success (a wonderful magazine for Stampin Up demonstrators) they had an article on tap dancing. Not the Gregory Hines kind of tap dancing, but a fun way to use your stamps.

First stamp your image in a lighter ink, I used Wisteria Wonder. Then take a darker ink Stampin Write marker to add highlights to the stamp, I used Elegant Eggplant. You can do this by tapping the the side of the marker or coloring directly on the stamp. Breathe on stamp to remoisten the ink. An easy way to make your card look even better! 

Have a great weekend ~ Shelley

Hi!! At Scrap it with a Song

 with are still celebrating St. Patty's Day with Irish artists.

 This week the song is Canonball by Damien Rice.

I took the word "cry" from the lyrics to create this page with My Digital Studio.
This is my great nephew Levi, he was not having a very good day last Memorial Day. Distracting with pictures didn't really work either. lol I used the sketch at Let's Capture the Sketch.

Hope you join us at Scrap it with a Song!

 We love to see your creations.

Mojo Monday!

I made yet another birthday card using the sketch at Mojo Monday. 

The card is for my fiancé, Mike. I had this Halloween paper laying on the table one day while I was making samples of our wedding invitations. He asked if I was going to use the paper on the invitations, he was joking of course. But he would probably like it if I did. lol I used the typewriter from the Established Elegance set, it is really one of my favorites!

Have a great day! Shelley
