She is...

Sienna is all those things... I loved this colour pallet from Color-Me-Scrappy challenge site!  This one has got to be my favourite so far!  Be sure to try these colours out and play along for prizes!  A great idea is to combine a colour pallet with a sketch site like, Sketches in Thyme, this can really make the challenge fun! 
It was a great mix of colours and totally my style.....bright!

I used core'dinations cardstock, Harmonie die cuts, brads and decorative paper.  I used a memory box die to cut the swirls that i picked up at Scrap'n With Flair online store!  The flower I made with some trim from Fabricland and some bling form Maya Road.

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!

Slidey Girl - Scrap'n With Flair

Another layout using the new July Plumera Kit plus the add on kit from Scrap’n With Flair.  I am a layout girl and love to create pages and pages, Leanne has out-done herself with this fantastic kit plus the add-on kit, there is so much to work with I just love it!  I have made a fast-forward video of the creation of this layout as well.  Check that out here July Kit Layout Demo

The kit comes with a great set of papers, the colours are so versatile and the added pieces of trim, lace, pearls and bling are so much fun to work with!  I added some sewing using my sewing machine and I also used a fun technique on the chipboard letters.  By adding some colour and then adding some diamond glaze, they look like they are epoxy letters!  FUN!

And some close-ups!

The flower above is the only piece I used from my personal stash, the crinoline flower was made by my “Swap” partner.  The flower swap was organized by another one of our great DT members Elysia!  I did add the jewel from the kit to the flower to bring it all together.

I hope you enjoy this kit as much as I have so far.  If you have not bought one yet, I understand they are going FAST!  Be sure to check  back for more fun inspiration with the July Kit throughout the month of July.  As well as check out the store blog for more weekly features from some of our other amazing DT members.  Serious talent from these gals!   My blog feature here for next week, it will be a step-by-step tutorial as I decorate the Graphic 45 box that comes in the kit!

Happy Scrappin’

 Another great palette from www.color-me-scrappy.blogspot.com check out the contest there is fun prizes to win.  Working with a colour palette is fun it really pushes you to think outside the box!  I used P&J Basic Grey paper, letters and embellishments for this page.  I also added some October Afternooon twine, Studio Callico tape and Creative Memories letters.  Great fun!  Enjoy!

Some Cards for my awesome Dad's

I am fortunate to have two wonderful Dad's in my life!  I know Father's Day is kinda outdated now, but I have not actually seen my fathers to give them their cards yet!  So its not out-dated to me!  Yay this weekend I will see both of them!  My father who mainly raised my brother and I, has always been been my "go-to" parent, I love him dearly and although he is a very busy man, we always pick up where we left off, and when I need to talk he is always right there, even if that means we talk by phone!  He has always supported my decisions, even if he did not agree they were the best ones.  He has always been there "no matter what", truly that is what makes him my AWESOME DAD!

This is the card for Step-DAD, I love him dearly as well and for different reasons.  Entirely due to me, we had a rough start a long time ago, I made it hard for he and I to get close.  He was persistent on being the great guy that he is and we are now friends.  He has been a wonderful support for me thru think and thin and he is one heck of a Grandpa to my children.  Thanks GG!

My Boy

I feel in love with Echo Park with this kit, their papers are so whimsical and fun!  I love the stickers and chipboard shapes, I really had so much fun with this line.
