Cherished Memories

I just loved this new Prima line and really went all out purchasing the embellishments!  I love the color combination with the peach and black.  This layout was for my 39th birthday... yes 39 last year.  :D   And that means 40 this year. :-)

Yes I do love to make cards!  Here are some new cards I've come up with with my left over Prima stuff from the layout.

 

The Trout Slayers

These great photos were from Dwayne and Noah's Father/Son fishing trip to Tachuck Lake in 2011.  I was struggling trying to find a title and Noah came in to see what I was up too.  So I showed him the photos and said I need a title!  He jokingly said "The Trout Slayers!" And that was it!  It was so funny to him because the photo of the one fish... was the only fish they caught all weekend.  The term Trout Slayers makes it sound like they got the lion's share of the fish that weekend but in actual fact it was the weekend of the one hit wonder!

I used the new Stampin Up Early Espresso tulle in behind my embellishments to make it look like nets.  And the circle embellishment I made by putting eyelets in a circle pattern then weaving the twine in and out.  I also embossed the circle sticker on top a few times to give it some substance.  I really like the way it turned out. 

I also added lots of drops of ink and paint to make the appearance of bubbles.  And I used tons of the K & Co embellishment pack I bought.  :-))

And take a look at all the cards I made with the left over supplies!  :-))  Great for those men in my life.  :-)

Live Out Doors

This layout was so fun to make.  I made all the flowers by stitching them together then adding beads in the centers.  These flowers are my favorite to make!  I used the new Cherry Cobbler precut tuelle ribbon from Stampin Up to make the redish colored flowers.  I was inspired by a layout I saw in Canadian Crafters magazine with a sunburst behind the photo.  The original layout only had one photo, and you know I can't do that!  Plus I always do double layouts.  So I figured out a way to use the sunburst inspiration with my own twist and of course tons of fru fru!! oh and all the shimmery color on the edges of the page and photos is that Inka Gold that I love!

New Cards

I really needed some Baby Cards... and I had a new supply of cupcake liners in fun colors.  So I decided to mix the two to create these cute Baby cards!  All the ruffles are cupcake liners I cut apart and then attached using double sided tape.

This next card was inspired by these adorable owl stickers that I found at Walmart in the USA.  I just had to make a cute card with these cute little guys!

This card was inspired by a Stampin Up card I had seen in one of their magazines.  My card turned out totally different!  But the technique I used was to drop a small cirlce of ink from the SU re-inkers and then spray it from an angle with a water mister.  It turned out pretty neat.  It's very unpredictable and each time you do it the look will be different.  I like that!

Happy Summer!

Summer Fun in the new Boat!

Here is a sweet layout I did about being out on the water last summer in our new boat!  I just love the Thickers stickers I used for the title and all the great papers.  So fun!

Cards

I've had some down time in the last couple days and I've had so much fun creating!  Scrapbooking really is my therapy.  It's been great to slow down.  Here are some cards I've come up with.
