Productive Day

Sharing my Sunday experiments. Hoping that this could be the beginning of a productive month!

This is my daughter's art work! Couldn't resist sharing it!

Embossed vellum, just gorgeous!

These Nestabilities looks great in vellum, I will be doing more of these.

And, the velum rosette that brings us back to our childhood

Bon Voyage! My latest project and newest stamp set

I bought this stamp set in a bookstore during a recent trip to the Northwest. I just fell in love with the Tour Eiffel style, even that I have more than one Tour Eiffel stamp in my collection.

I recycled the corrugated cardboard from the coffee shop painting it with acrylics, color with Copics, and used my hand writing for the sentiment that is a tag cut with a punch, distressed with the same ink as all the other elements. Used one of my Martha Stewart's scallop borders, some black tulle premade card, and voila! the card went to a friend that is retiring to France!

More new stuff... latest ATCs



G is for Giraffe



These are my latest ATCs, I always have so much fun creating them.

The giraffe was for the aphabet challenge, I had the letter G; the other one is for the doors challenge.

Copic Creations Challenge

 

After taking a Copics class in Florida, I went back home and found this challenge in the Copic Creations blog.

My Magnolia stamp has shiny boots, and some sparkle in the hair, shiny hat bow, and in the halo around her. I experimented using color pencils, and Copic markers on top of them. For my first real "contrasty" attempt, I am satisfied!

Thank you Sally!

It always amazes me....!!

It always amazes me how talented my cousin Marigel is. She lives in Peru, and runs her jewelry business from home. Marigel has beautiful and original designs, using Peruvian silver and beautiful stones. Now, she is accepting orders from overseas. Visit her blog here http://www.bisuteriageladesign.blogspot.com./

National Scrapbook Day

The Spellbinders Blog! http://spellbinderspaperarts.com/blog/ sponsored a scrapbooking contest today, the only requirement was to use Spellbinders die cuts. In this layout, I used Shapeabilities Surf's Up, and Borderabilities Jumbo Scalloped Border Petites. 

Here are some close ups, (guess I will have to get my photo camera back eh?)

Hope you like it too.

Address Book to keep you updated

One of my friends retired a couple of days ago, and I prepared her an address book, she loves flowers and ribbons. I didn't take a photo of the inside pages this time. Hope to do another one soon to show it to you.
Thanks for looking.
