More project life cards from July Simon Says Card Kit

For these project life cards I copied the bigger cards from some of my favorite card crafters.  They look great in my project life album, its one of my favorite spreads.  I have put the original card creators name after each card. Enjoy!


 This one is based on a card by Shari Carroll

 This project life card is a "mini" version of one made by Sarah Moerman.

This one is from Shari Carroll as well

A colorful scrapbook page

Today I wanted to share with you a scrapbook page I made inspired by Wilna Furstenberg.  I love her style and her shop has beautiful cutouts for the silhouette.  If you have never been to her blog I recommend it for so much inspiration!

September 2014 Simon Says Card Kit

Here are a couple of cards I made using the September Simon Says Card Kit.



This card was made with a white embossed background, then it was watercolored over the top of the embossing. The sentiment was stamped and then placed on foam dots, and some squiggly black lines were drawn on the outer edge.




This card was made from a layout from Kristina Werner.  The stamped birds are from Hero Arts.

A Fall Quilt

Here is another quilt that I made.  For this quilt, I did thread play for the leaves before I quilted it.  The quilting lines are made to look like wind blowing the leaves across the quilt.  I love the hand dyed leaf batik and the colors in this quilt.  The actual colors are closer to the two pictures of the detail.  In the picture of the whole quilt the colors seem a little too yellow compared to the actual quilt. But, you get the idea.



The colors below are true to the colors of the actual quilt.

August 2014 Simon Says Card Kit

Here are a couple of things I made with the August Simon Says Card Kit.



 For these two cards I used the same layout and a tag die from PaperTrey Ink. But I wanted to experiment with a black versus white embossed tag. I love this black sparkly embossing powder called black opal from JudiKins.


 This card is made with a watercolor background that I love.  I made this card for a co-worker that was leaving so I used a Simon Says Card stamp that said "You will be missed" and then I added the "more than ice cream. That's a lot"

This is another project life card I made with a bright watercolor background!  For those of you not familiar with Project Life I will post a few example pages that I made so it makes more sense.

Simon says October card kit

This card was fun to make and the patterned papers in this kit have the feeling of a Moroccan Bazaar to me. So, I have a couple of ideas in mind for that theme as well but for this card I stuck to the Java theme and well I need some Anniversary cards so that seemed to just fall in place.
