Lets Go Sailing!

Filed under: . — Tags: , — Melissa @ 6:03 pm

This card was made with my brand new stamp set from The Angel Company called Ship Collage Its a single stamp and its only $5.95! Its a great stamp for a man card. Navy Blue cardstock is perfect for a man card!

I made this one to put in my card box for an upcoming holiday for the guy in my family. I didnt add a sentiment yet.

The coloring was done with my prisma pencils and some varied palette ink colors to achieve a nautical look with blues and reds. All from The Angel Company.

I also used my yummy spellbinders to create that scallop shape. I need more spellbinder shapes.

Faux Patterned Paper Challenge

Filed under: . — Tags: , — Melissa @ 8:30 pm

I have a challenge on my group in Paper Craft Planet (PCP) going on right now. I hope you will all join and participate, I am planning on having these alot!

This challenge is to make your own patterned paper, any size your choice. You can use what ever you want.

So I used My TAC stamps! I know I am bad. Finally Right? I used Love and Laughter and Mountain Scenery which are really cheap this month! They are just 5.48

I used my brayer which I need to use more, I used Stampin up inks. Brocade Blue, Cameo Coral and Handsome Hunter. I used Momento Inks in Black for the stamped images. I masked in the valley and mountain shapes with plain ole printing paper torn into hills and valleys. It was fun to do. This one is going inside a frame.

Have a great night.

Scrapbook Canvas

Filed under: . — Tags: , , — Melissa @ 1:47 pm

Details: I found these great canvas’s at Michaels. They were half off so I bought a few. I used Tulip paints to color it in, puffy for the words. Thats my son’s Kindergarten picture. He has a goofy smile on – doesnt he? :)

I made it for hubby as a late Hanukkah present. I am making another one of my daugther.

Thank you Cards

Details: These are the Thank you cards I made for my family for the Christmas presents they sent to my family. I made them with the cuttlebug folder (forget the name) and I used various color chalks to fill it in. I cut the scallops with SCAL – (Sure Cuts Alot) with my cricut.

Simple but elegant.

Details: This photo was taken in Moscow Russia, She was just 18 months Old. Its her first Hamburger and Fries!

It is part one of two, i am working on the next page. All my words were made with SCAL, as well as the scallops and the Mc Donalds sign. The only chipboard I used was the Word First and the hearts, its from K&Co.

I weaved the ribbon the left side and made a journal card in a pocket. I used the Angel Company stamp for the journal square.

The paper is from Paper Studio – its called So So Sweet.

Thanks for looking..
