Sock Full of Mice

This card features a House Mouse Stamp.
After colouuring the image with copic markers I used some stickles on the light bulb and then put 3 coats of glossy accents to give it some dimension and gloss. I also used the air compressor to give the light bulb some glow( if you click on the image to enlarge you can see this subtle effect)
The stamped image was cut out using the Lacey Square from Spellbinders and laced a ribbon through the decorative edge.
The saying was stamped using a phrase from Stamp'n Up and adhered to a border punched out from EK Success.

This is the second page in the layout, depicting the start of the Honeymoon!

The journaling card was created from a stamp from Stamp'n Up and cut out. All the flowers are bits and pieces I had in my stash along with the pearls. The font for the title is by Sizzix called "Endless Love"

October 27th 1945

What do you get a couple to mark their 65th Wedding Anniversary? Since the couple celebrating happen to be my Grandparents I have chosen to do a scrapbook of their life together. I thought that this would be easy!
The layouts are easy and fun but gathering the photos and trying to get dates and names have been a little work.
If you don't own a scanner the process of converting slides into printed photos can be costly and time consuming, my family literally took hours going through slides, mind you they had a great night of entertainment in the whole process.
This layout is the first half of a double page depicting the Wedding Day of my Grandparents. My Grandparents are the couple on the right looking at the photo, the other couple getting married with them in a double ceremony is my Grandmothers brother and his new bride.

A Time Remembered

This is a simple layout easily completed in about 20 minutes. The decorative blue strip down the centre was created using the Grande Borderabilities "Illumination" by Spellbinders. This layout is a great way to use up wallet size photos.

Card Pattern Sketch #72

This sketch is perfect for using up all your little scraps, it's also very quick and easy when your in a hurry. I made a promise to myself to use up most of my old paper stash before I bought anything new so I could actually have some room, well I am using up the paper but it didn't stop me from buying more! LOL

Summer Glitter Ritz

I was reorganizing things to make better use of space in the studio and came across my Glitter Ritz and thought Hmmm! Most people tend to use this product for the Holidays to add sparkle but I wanted to try something for the summer, well it turned out to be everyday stuff!

"Time" for another Masculin card

This card was based on a colour combination I found in a photo ad in a magazine of an upholstered chair. This is the first time I've ever tried taking a cue from something other than whats already in my head! So here it is using a variety of techniques, embossing folders, alcohol inks, and spellbinders.
