I Love... 37

Hi there! I'm so excited that it's finally May 17th because I am boarding an airplane this morning at 7:00 am and flying to Orlando for the MFT weekend long workshop / retreat. I know it's going to be a fun filled weekend!!!! :) I made this card in honor of the event :)

 I stamped a combination of sentiments from Die-namics Girly Graphic Tee Die & Stamp Set on the coordinating tee using two colors of ink: Black Licorice and Berrylicious. I topped it off with a Wild Cherry Mini Royal Rose. 

For color inspiration, I played along with the current Play Date Cafe challenge:

and for sketch inspiration, I played along with the current Freshly Made Sketches challenge:

Thanks so much for stopping by ~ I hope you have a great weekend!

Be Sweet ;)

Born To Run... 55

Hi there! To all those who celebrated Thanksgiving, I hope you had a wonderful holiday celebration with your family, friends and loved ones! We had a great holiday. Scott and I had completed about 90% of our holiday dinner preparation Wednesday night so we had time to start our Thanksgiving day off with a mountain hike then Tina came over and her and I took a bike ride. Jerry and April joined us for dinner :)

I have been playing around with modeling paste and various texture tools and created this page in my art journal featuring my sweet furry little four legged friend, Gretchen :) For the title, I used a stamp from Die-namics Girly Graphic Tee Die & Stamp Set and the white dots were stamped using LJD Darling Dots.

Once I felt a little more comfortable with the products, I made a layout featuring a photo of April and Jerry that was taken while on a recent trip to San Francisco.

There's just something about the Melissa Frances resin embellishments that I love. For a more aged look, I applied Distress ink.

Using Die-namics Hearts a Plenty, I die cut a few canvas heart embellishments 

For the title, I stamped the Love sentiment from Inspired By Love on a die cut piece made using Die-namics Place Award Ribbon. To create the layered canvas fishtail banner strips, I used Die-namics Jumbo Fishtail Banner STAX and Die-namics Fishtail Flags STAX:

Shown below is a rose made using Die-namics Layered Rose.
