Love This

Hey everyone. Here’s my take on this month’s Golden Globe stash challenge at Scrap Our Stash. Instead of the balloons on the movie poster I was inspired to use kites, which I fussy cut. I really enjoy how these challenges make me think outside the box. The cloud outlines were from a Just Nick cut file. The ephemera and pattern paper were from the Carousel collection from Maggie Holmes and Crate Paper.  For the background I used acrylic paint from Vicki Boutin and American Crafts. At first I applied some paint with a brush and then added water to make the drips. After that I used a piece of packaging to move the color around. Once that was dry I used a small piece of bubble wrap and a styrofoam cup as stamps. I also added splatters of each color and to finish things off added more splatters of gold color shine. I was also inspired by sketch #129 at Sketchabilities. Below are some close ups and the challenge. Make sure to check out the SOS blog for lots of inspiration. Thanks for stopping by!!

Love at First Sight

Hey everyone. I can’t believe we have come to the December challenges at Scrap Our Stash!! My how time flies!!! For this month’s tic tac toe challenge I picked the bottom row: frame, the color green and sequin. I used Maggie Holmes' 'Carousel' collection from Crate Paper.  I absolutely love this photo of my niece and grandson, when he was just one day old. Definitely love at first sight!! Below are some close ups and the challenge. Thanks for stopping by.

A Day Spent Together

Hey everyone. Here's a layout based on Scrap Our Stash's October tic tac toe challenge.  I used left overs from an older Clique Kit I had laying around.  A true stash challenge. The papers were from Maggie Holmes' Gather collection. For the challenge I used the column on the left: the color orange, doily and mini alphas. Love how these challenges make me dig into my stash. Below are some close ups and the challenge. Thanks for stopping by.
