My girlfriend's and I put together an album for our friend who brought her daughter home from China in November. This album is set up so that she can log Quhyn's first year at home.
Back in December I posted the title page, last page and a December layout that I had designed for the album as my contribution to the project. Our friend, Ellena, wasn't able to complete her pages for the album, so I made these pages in her honour.
The December layout patterned paper is from Echo Park's Everybody Loves Christmas line and the cardstock is Bazzill.
I distressed the edges with my Distrezz-it-All tool and the owl was cut out from the Hoot 'n' Holler Cricut Lite Cartridge that I borrowed from my girlfriend, Lee-Ann. Thank you Snappy Scraps!
The brads are from my stash and the buttons are from Stampin' Up. The bobbles stamped by the word "December" are from Stampendous.
For the January layout, I used patterned papers from We R Memory Keepers Merry January line. I embellished with Platinum Stickles and the snowflakes stamped around the word "January" are from Doodlebug.
This was the other card that I made for my 2 year old cousin, Carmyn.
I had a lot of fun with this card. I inked some stamps that have never been inked before. I coloured a fun image with bright, playful colours and I really love how the inside of the card came together. So, there is no way that I could not of had fun with this design.
The patterned papers are from Basic Grey Euphoria 6 x 6 paper pack and the cardstock is from Bazzill.
The brads are from Scrapbook Sally, the ribbon is from Stampin' Up and I used CTMH Liquid Glass to make the bubbles shiny like bubbles. I used the Lacy Squares Nestabilities to mat the image.
The dragon stamp is from High Hopes Stamps, the sentiment on the front of the card is from Stampendous, the inside sentiment is from Stampin' Up & the stitches on the inside of the card were stamped with CTMH's Simple Stitches Stamp Set.
Copic Markers Used: Dark Pink - RV19, RV17 & RV11; Light Pink - R81; Blue - B12; Green - YG00 & G40 and Purple - V15.
This card was for Sparkle's Weekly Christmas Card Challenge #10 posted on January 30th. The challenge was to use a transparency.
I almost had it done in time. I needed to add a sentiment to the front of the card and finish the inside, but I decided to be a good mom & wife instead and I didn't ask for 20 minutes in my scrap room on our Family Movie Night to finish it.
Instead I finished it a day late. Oh well, I still got it done and that is all that matters.
I used a 4 x 6 My Mind's Eye transparency that had the corner flourishes on it.
On the Bazzill cardstock, I embossed the stamped images with Class Act Stamps Pastel Pink Embossing Powder. On top of the transparency, I added the Kaiser Craft pearls & Stampin' Up Satin ribbon.
The image stamp on the front & inside of the card are from Inkadinkado. The front sentiment is from CTMH and the inside sentiment is from CC Designs.
The cardstock isn't as dark of a pink as my photo shows, but it wouldn't shoot any better due to the transparency.
I actually got my card done for Sparkle's Weekly Christmas Card Challenge on the first day that the challenge was posted. This is a first for me.
This week's challenge is an inspiration photo of colourful, sparkly Christmas ornaments. I immediately thought of Basic Grey's Eskimo Kisses 6 x 6 paper pack and matched it with Bazzill cardstock.
I used Basic Grey buttons, Stampin' Up Taffeta Ribbon and matching embroidery floss from my stash.
The nestabilities used on this card are Petite Ovals, Petite Scalloped Ovals & Labels One.
The image stamp is my new stamp that I just received in the mail last week called Holiday Emily from Sparkle Creations. I have been wanting her for a while. Shanna was putting in an order, so I added a few for myself....three to be exact.
The "Noel" stamp came from CTMH's Say it in Style stamp set and the inside sentiment came from CC Designs Holiday Greetings stamp set. These stamps were embossed with Stampendous' Pearlustre Hessonite Embossing Powder.
Copic Markes used: Skin - R00 & R000; Hair - E27, E29 & E25; Red - E07; Burgundy - RV69 and Pink - RV11.
This is a birthday card that I made for my cousin, Amanda, from my grandparents.
I used a 6 x 6 paper pack from The Greeting Farm, scrap pink paper from my stash and Bazzill Crabapple Dark for the cardstock.
The ribbon is from Stampin' Up and the brads are from Die Cuts with a View.
The image stamp is from CC Designs, the front sentiment stamp is from Stampendous and the "Happy Birthday" stamp is from Inkadinkado.
Copic Markers used: Hair - YR31, Y35 & Y32; Skin - R00 & R000; Burgundy - RV99 & R89 and Pink - RV34.
