manyfaces-72ppiThis LO, is one of those that take a life of its own.  It started w/ a pretty “simple” template w/ the strips.  I wanted to use tons of strips to showcase all the cool papers in this kit. and then I am adding tons and tons of embellishments, that is NOT usually my style… but I guess I am liking it more and more… so soon it WILL be my style… LOL!!!!

Supplies: Dot dot dot kit by Danimoy Designs; template: I can’t seem to find my template to be able to give appropriate credit, so please if you recognize the template please let me know.

simpleshapes_blog

Yes, I am paper scrappin’ still… I can’t stay away from the sweet smell of paper, plus I have a room full of it that I NEED TO USE!  When I bought this paper I had totally forgotten that Bianca’s swimsuit was so perfect for it!  It was a nice surprise to say the least!  I started this one a few days ago for OLW challenge blog, but I guess I was too slow because they have moved to their next word.  A few more challenges for this one, current challenges LOL!!!!!

I started this LO a few months back, but I just felt it was missing something and couldn’t figure it out… and today I was cleaning up my table (yes, the LO was buried under tons of papers and other stuff and found it and decided to finish it with whatever I could find in a bag of embellishments that I was putting away too… and this is the outcome.  What do you think?

oh my… xmas is around the corner…

August 26, 2009 · 5 Comments

sas_30_blog

So, yesterday I get an email from a store saying “ONLY 120 days till xmas!”… and I am thinking oh no…. we already started the count down?!?!?!?!  To celebrate that there are only 119 days left before xmas arrives I decided to do a xmasy card for Stamps and Smiles Fresh Batch sketch… yep it is Thursday!!!

I did a resist technique on the gifts, I stamped them w/ archival ink and then painted them w/ a clear wax stick.  I painted the bows in red w/ watercolor and then went to town w/ tons of water and green watercolor paint.  I like the texture on the watercolor, and even though there is one present that apparently I didn’t colored very well w/ the clear wax crayon I think it “adds” to the watercolor effect.

  • Embellishments: Big Brad (Hobby Lobby); Holographic green flower (Hobby Lobby)

I am so excited to be the Guest Designer for this week’s Our Creative Corner’s Challenge blog!  yipppeeee…. This weeks is all about the Stampin’ Ups IN COLORS and guess what?  Danimoy’s cute little “Love Bots” kit colors are really really similar!  I was working on this door hanger last night, so that is the reason is stuck into my fridge.  Did you know that your fridge or your tub are the best places to take pictures at night?  LOL!!!
