Safari Baby Album

Michelle asked me to make another friend of hers an album for her upcoming baby shower. The theme this time was Safari and mom and dad already knew the baby was a boy!!
Oh what fun I had with this project :-) Loved these colors and it was cool bringing in textures for an earthy feel!
I hope you can see all of them clearly.
The mom cried at the shower when she opened the book and to me that was a success on my part!
My next assignment is another baby boy album. Just waiting on the theme and then I can start :-)
Soo happy I can share these with you again!
Have a great Labor Day weekend!!!

It's your day!

Here's a quick card I made ......just because : )

The flowers are perky and fun : ) I cut them with my Cricut.  The clouds I cut out of pp then stitched around with my sewing machine for more depth. Just a few random pearls and stickers here and there...for fun! The sentiment It's your Day is an epoxy sticker I had in my stash ...for.ev.er. Love when I finally use stuff up : )

It makes me feel happy seeing these soft colors of the puffy clouds paired with the bold orange button flowers!

I can't wait to plant some hearty marigolds with the kids...soon!

Do you prefer container gardening or straight down in the earth gardening? 

Color Challenge May 3rd

This week at The Outlawz Color Challenge all DT members used the same digital image to show how we all have unique styles.
Here is what we used as our inspiration photo (for colors):




Digi's With Attitude has supplied the Design team with a fabulous image to play with today. We were all given Tabatha and Tony to play with. Good thing too, because the color inspiration picture this week features our colors of Orange, Black or Brown, White and the Mahvelous May twist is to use twine on your project!

Here is my version:

It's hard to see but I added flock to the whites of their ears and pink to their noses and tan flock to look like a shadow. STabitha also is sporting a rhinestone necklace! Click on image to see larger version!
You have to see what the other DT members did-AMAZING,really. I don't colr with Copics but they do and they seriously belong in magazines or something!
Hope you are inspired by the colors and make something to share with us!

Color Throwdown #139

I'm so excited about the colors at the throwdown this week!!!!

http://colorthrowdown.blogspot.com/

Here is what I made with them. 3-4 colors were required an I used all of 5 of them!


I finally ordered the Top Note die from SU (Thanks, Mo!) I made a card base using the die-don't cut all the way up on the folded cs. The cricut cart used is Graphically Speaking. I forgot how cool this one is with its "jumbled" word feature!
Hope ya like it!

Color Throwdown #136
Here is what I made:
(I couldn't make just one card, I kept going, 3 cards and a board book later.....!) Not to mention my love of butterflies I was meant to play today! It felt great!!!
All papers are DCWV-Mariposa (means butterfly in italian)Stack

Group Shot came out a little darker than I had hoped but it gets lighter in the individual shots.

This is the board book or mini album. It is 8x8 held together with sky blue ribbon.
Stick pins made by me! My new obsession: ) MS edger -double scallop. Random buttons to coordinate.
My Minds Eye bakers twine in blue and white-love this stuff! I made the background pp with the stamp shown and VersaColor Mocha Truffle ink
MS glitter over the sentiment and a Recollections Boutique Fleur Butterfly embellishment pop dotted on!


I had such fun making all this and can't wait to participate in more throwdowns!

Using a Digital Image

Good morning!
Today, I want to share with you a digital image I altered using many different mediums and NOT 1 marker!.
They can be found here at Guylous' store .

It's kind of funny because I am completely intimidated by all the Copic marker queens out there. I don't want to get involved in them just yet!
I made my colors pop with some chalks,Stickles,embossing powders, flock (white) and seed beads!
What do ya think?
In the profile you can see how the rocks are dimensional (held in place with Diamond Glaze) and the fish have depth from the embossing powder I used !!!!
Can you see I used white flock on his paws,chest,tail tip, face and ears?

Digital images are now fun for me to play with!!! Hope you don't pass them up because you don't color with markers. There are so many other things you can use to beautify your art!!! : )

Happy Wednesday : )

Thanks for stopping by!

Color Challenge January 25

A new Color Challenge is up at The Outlawz. Are you ready to put together a little Orange, Grey and Cream? We did! Now, let's see what you can come up with.

I made a board book/album for my sister in law. Her birthday is on the same day as my mom's (in February) so I thought I would add a few pics of them together inside it. Hope she likes it : )


Have a great Tuesday and happy creating!
