Dear Friend

Just a quick little card to share before I head out to catch a flight to sunny California...  I made this for the Outlawz Sunday challenge which is CAS, but think I may have missed the mark a bit.  I tend to add and add and by the time I am finished... it is anything but "clean and simple."

I used the Warbler cling art stamp as well as The Love Chapter, Sent with Love and the Natural Flourish art stencil.  Just love how all of these stamps and stencils coordinate together.

Well, I am off to represent Layers of Color at CHA.  Thanks so much to Laura for this amazing opportunity, you are a blessing and such an encouragement to your Design Team!  It will be an exciting several days and I am looking forward to meeting some dear online friends (in real life), hanging out with blogging buddies, and seeing some exciting new products available soon!  I will be back sometime after CHA with hopefully some fun pictures to share!!! 

Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful day!

Blessings,

Layers of Color Scrapbook Page

 

I have a special project to share today that I made with Layers of Color Clear Art Stamps and Art Stencils.  I enjoy scrapbooking, but often have a hard time deciding where to start.  I knew I wanted to scrap these pictures of our youngest when we are on vacation last fall up in Virginia.  Our older two are not as interested in play grounds and swing sets, but Jeb set his eyes on the metal ladder and knew immediately it was something he must conquer (he was also copying his older brother, Dean).

For this page, I started first with the Natural Flourish Art Stencil on opposite corners of a 8 1/2 x 11 page (my favorite to scrap).  I used Tim Holtz Brushed Corduroy Distress ink for the art stenciling and stamped some leaves from Nature Walk using Memento Desert Sand.  I created a journaling tab by cutting a piece of Natural Ivory cardstock and rounding the top corners.  However, not wanting it to slide underneath the center picture and get lost I added a damask image from Touch of Elegance stamped on dark 

brown cardstock and added some sticky nail heads. 

Recently while at my LSS I picked up some Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist (Pinecone) and so spritzed some on my page (before adding the photos, lol!)  It gives it a nice shimmer/speckle look.

Here are two close up pictures of my page:

  

Sorry this post was so long...this was such a fun page to create that I wanted to tell you all about it. Thanks so much for stopping by and hope you have a wonderful day!
