Our Princesses

I had a vision and went with it and Viola!!! My mermaid came to life within a few moments of playing around with my punches... soon , I had an elaborate body attached to a torso and head... then the HAIR!!!! Lovin the hair.... flowing Red like Ariel's locks... even got her big bangs!!!   Soon it all came together and then to add details I embossed her tail strategically and pearlized it as well as bedazzled it... her seashell top super sparkly and a dainty little pearl necklace. So, here is my lovely Ariel... she'll be adorning my Baby Girls scrappage from Disney.

I will post all the details very soon... I promise.  Thanks for looking.

And then, there was Cinderella..... ready for her ball.....

Oh Father... how we Idolize you

I don't know about you, but I seem to remember a lot of Father now in my 40's... or maybe it's just the fact that I have kids and I remember a lot of the stuff my dad did with us as growing up... I sure miss him. 

So, of course this year I had to use the new Summer Mini stamp set (Best Dad Ever) for Father's day!!!  I also used Travel Log for the Map and sayings as well as Totally Tool from the main Catalog pg 61... been wanting to use that forever!!  So, now I combined all three!!  And, here is what I came up with...

Mostly inspired by my kids who think that everything they break Daddy can fix... and they are very fortunate to have a Dad that is extremely adept in many areas of "Fix It" world.  He also enjoys the outdoors, and getting his hands dirty....  So, here's to you Dad... hope you like it.

 Close up of the tools.. I used crystal Effects on the Screw Driver Handles and the Tape Measure box... gave them a little extra pop.. you know.. like the real thing?

Summer in Full Bloom

Today I had to come up with a Scrap Layout that I could use in a demo for a group of ladies.  So, what better opportunity to use my new stamp set from the Summer Mini... I used the card sample on page 20 as my guide and changed up the colors and punches I used.  This is a clouse up of the stamped images... I took sponge daubers to add the color to the images and then played with my Dazzling Diamonds to add some bling.  The butterfly is decorated with the rhinestones... I LOVE THE RHINESTONES!!! LOL.  I used the 2 3/8" scallop circle punch and used it on the concord grape flowers and added some dimension by lifting them off the page.  The mats are also Concord Grape with a little window box in the coordinating Designer Series Paper from from the 6x6 pack in the Level 1 hostess pack.  These are easy to earn and I love using them.












Here is the complete page... no words, but they can be added when you add your photos... Can't wait to do that.... Much brighter in person...
