Hope

It's a cold, dreary day outside but I'm enjoying the warmth of my house, the sounds of my children playing, and the creativity of scrapbooking.
~ hope ~
 
For this layout I used a mask as a stamp and applied embossing powder over it. I also used purple pigment ink on an acrylic stamp and dusted with lavender embossing powder. The chipboard I painted with Lindy's Magicals or inked and embossed. I like to contrast purples and yellows.

Cutest Pumpkin Ever

Crimp the crust, carefully set it in the oven, cautiously take it out...
And that is how the boy made his first Pumpkin Pie.
He takes himself so seriously!!!

Read

Paper Girls Challenge #67
For this challenge I made a gift for my sons teacher.
One of the things he struggles with most is reading so I made that the subject of this project.
~ Read ~
I had a lot of fun layering mixed media products on this tag.
I started with second impression stamping then misted and applied alphabet rub-ons. The modeling paste stars were placed with a mask. The sweet little Read title is from OA's Public Library line.
 I used my Kreaxions punches and circle cutter to make an accordion medallion at the top of the tag as well as a border for the base.
I added another piece from the OA whimsy pack for the back of the tag and cut up a library border strip. I embellished the back of the tag with sweet little butterflies, also a Kreaxions punch.
The honeycomb chipboard is a lasercut by Blue Fern Studios!!!
Supplies:
Card Stock:Bazill
Paper, Ephemera, Trim:October Afternoon
Gems and Brad:My Minds Eye
Chipboard:Blue Fern Studios
Rub-Ons:7 Gypsies
Cork:DCWV
Modeling Paste:Liquitex
Mask:The Crafters Workshop
Mist:Tattered Angels

Scary Kitty

A couple years back my artist child was fascinated with face painting. We bought her a set of paints and she decorated her siblings faces regularly. The results were interesting...in an inexperienced sort of way!!!
This face was meant to be Hello Kitty.

I enjoyed sponging paint across my cardstock for this background. I added mist splatters and modeling paste. The pieces from my hand punched doilies fit right in as stars.

Paper:Carta Bella and Summer Stories
Cardstock:American Crafts
Trim:Memorable Seasons Kit
Stickers and Alpha:Carta Bella
