Friend scrapbook page

I have a 7X9 binder scrapbook from Basic Grey that I have been using for this year.  It's similar to a Project Life type of format. I have been working on our trip to Oregon to add to the album.  So I made a page inspired  Vilma Furstenberg and Irit Landgraf.

I started by cutting out some "frames" from my square and rectangle dies.  Then I cut out some leaves from iheartstudio on my silhouette.  Then I started mixing some paint and painted the frames and leaves. When the leaves were dry I added some gold accents with my gold Signo uniball pen.  Then I started playing around with the layout.  When the frame and leaves were all in position, I decided it needed more GOLD! So back the silhouette I went and cut out the word "friends" twice and glued it together.  Then I added some versamark and gold embossing powder. Before placing the word I decided to add some paint splatters.  Then I mounted the whole page on a Basic Grey paper from the Knee Highs collection.

A simple card...Sending happy mail

Here is a fun little card! I love this cute little hedgehog from the Bubbly stamp set by Penny Black,
and the sentiment is from the Simon Says Stamp Happy Thoughts stamp set.  I used some sparkly black embossing powder by Judikins called black opal. It's a favorite of mine because well, a girl can never have too many sparkles if you ask me!

Another October SSS card

Getting ready for a winter that looks like I might need a few more get well cards. So, I made another card from the Simon Says Stamp October 2014 kit.  I kept it simple so that it could be for a man or woman.

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.
