Love

WOW its been a while again since a post i have to get back into this!  Anyway here is page featuring the new Bo Bunny Line #forever young paper and embellies, I LOVE THEM  I love the colours, they are so bright a fun.  We gave some of this paper away at the retreat this past weekend   This is what I came up with when I started playing around with the fun shapes in the papers.  They just screamed "cut me out"  I am not a huge fan of fussy cutting, however when I actually do it I am so pleased with the results!

This paper looks like coark board, and even the little buttons are so adorable.  I tried to play them up a bit by clustering other embellies around them!  I added a little of the Close to my heart Thick twine and some of their glitter tape as well.  The edges were distressed with Tim Holtz Peacock Feathers Distress ink pad.

SWEET!

Color-me-scrappy.blogspot.com 's challenge #22 WOW! This one was a challenge as well but this time more a challenge of time, I don't know about you but I am soooo busy with the season.  Anyway it is all over so fast so lets enjoy it right.  Inspired by the cookies I did a Christmas themes page.  My bonus daughter Montana was so excited to get $50 for Christmas last year I just love her face in this picture.  I used some great paper from Tim Holtz, Close to My Heart Cardstock, burlap and ribbon and the rest is CM paper and embellies!

Art Journal Canvas

Well I was resistant at first and I don't know why...I had not tried this "art journalling" before and I was provided a prefect combination of opportunity and inspiration from my co-designers at Scrap'n With Flair (those ladies are so talented) and the Art on the Severn Art Show I help organize decided to have some committee members show their work as well.

I used the Scrap'n With Flair July Plumeria Kit and some old canvases I had kicking around!  I also used mat gel medium and gesso to get the first few layers down.  Then added some great embellies some from my stash but most of the flowers, bling, pearls, jewels and trim were from the add-on kit. Then I played with adding some colour by using inks that came in the kit and some acrylic paint.

My partner and I just bought a house so we are going to put these in our new living room!  

Happy Scrappin!
