In The Cat Cave

This is a shining example of how you can use multiple photos on a layout in a fun way! The trick is to print them small - these happen to be 2x3 with a border printed with my Canon Selphy. Secondly I placed them on the 8.5x11" page first and allowed the picture to hang over the edges. Once I placed the alphas and was happy with the positioning I adhered the pieces... only after these steps did I cut the overhanging edges.

The new Stampin' Up! catalogue has been released but I have been globe trotting a little too much to enjoy all the fun!

Today's card was created quickly using the brand new scalloped cards, Subtle Embossing Folder and the Beautiful Promenade stamp set. Nobody ever wants to create a sympathy card so its nice to be able to have a few on hand when they are needed. This stamp set has some great sentiments that I just love so be sure to grab in from the Annual Catalog.


This card was created as part of the TGIF Design Team as we are making Sympathy cards this week. Join us as you create your own!

Hope you have a great day!

Well.
That was a challenge.
But after I started it really wasn't.
I started out with Soft Suede and distressed using Soft Suede ink on everything!


The corrugated embossing folder got a little ripped while I was distressing so I just went with it. In the end, I fell in love with this little carddespite it being completely outside my "style".

Who knows? Maybe I am evolving.
And that. My little crafty friends... that is why doing challenges can help you get inspired.


Be sure to play along with us everyweek at TGIF Challenges!
Have a wonderful day!

"For the Family".
Man.
That's a big one.
Its really all about family, isn't it? Specially in this paper crafting and memory keeping world.
I love celebrating anything and everything.
Birthdays are no different.
So, cheers to our families.
Because we love them so.

I am so thankful to be art of this Fancy Friday team. These ladies are incredible!

This little bear is retiring and I'll be sad to see him go. These stamps will definitely remain in my collection as I will use them for many years to come in projects such as this. A simple water colouring project with Stampin' Up! markers and an aqua painter.

Be sure to always use varying pop dots for adhesives when dealing with balloons to get that awesome dimension.
