Stash Dive - Card 14

Hiya ya'll,

Thanks so much for checking out my blog, on this card I incorporated a new technique I saw on a Jennifer McGuire video, I'll link to her video below.
It turned out pretty good, but I'll keep working to perfect it.

I am just loving this large birthday sentiment on this Mama Elephant stamp set, and actually the Jen McGuire video prompted me to try the technique and purchase the stamp set. ;)

Stash Dive - Card 15

Hey folks,

I'm still building up my birthday card stash.  I just picked up a new to me stamp set for Mama Elephant and I have been loving using it.  I fell in love with this large sentiment, and just had to have it.
I've been inspired lately by a lot of stenciled brick backgrounds, so I wanted to incorporate that into this project, and I think it really helps the sentiment pop!

All the supplies are listed below the pictures of the card, hope you enjoy!

Stash Dive #10

Hey there ya'll!


HAPPY LABOR DAY!
So happy to be back, I have been MIA again...with just not enough time in the day to get into my scrap room.
However, on this 3-day holiday weekend I have a clear day to get in my room and capture a new experience from my weekend.
If you haven't seen from my layouts or instagram posts, I am falling head over heels for Calligraphy!  It's been something that I have been fascinated by, but just this year I've actually taken steps to takes classes and learn more about this wonderful skill.  This also allows me to explore my own style and tastes, so I've been very inspired in this craft and other areas.

I was lucky enough to find a OOBER-ADORBS shop in my area that not only has adorable craft and decor stuff, they also hosts workshops in calligraphy, and tons of other cool things.
If you in the area, check out the Oh, Hello Friend Shop at OHFSHOP.COM!

I have take a couple of classes from super cute and fun Angi of Angelique Ink, she's very nice and knowledgeable and I'm loving her style and work, be sure to check her out!

Anywho, this weekend I took an intermediate class in calligraphy and had another fantastic time, and wanted to document it with a layout.  Everything is from my stash, so I don't have links for every sheet of paper or embellishments, but you'll recognize a lot, there's Crate Paper, Amy Tangerine, Maggie Holmes and some Glitz Designs.

Enjoy! Please leave a comment or a question, I love to hear from you!

Stash Dive #9

Hi y'all,

I'm back with another stash dive layout.  This really turned out better at the end.  The process during was uh...difficult; to say the least.  

I did get a chance to use up through some embellishments, thickers and papers that I have just way too much of. 

And I'm loving being able to get my photos in a collage and printed our on my Canon Selphy! OMG, I was stuck on stupid with that one.  I watched video after video on YouTube, and still couldn't get it to work for me, until finally about a week ago the light bulb came on.  

Or maybe I hit my head and didn't realize it... :)  Anyway, #silverlining, I figured out how to make PicFrame work for me. 

The challenge is still going strong to get through some of my massive stash! :)

Check it out! Enjoy!

Like A Sister Card

Hey there folks,

I've been a little MIA on the posts...busy getting the kiddies ready for school!

Check out this card, I've made it for a very good friend of mine, but I wanted to share it also.  I really liked the way everything came out.

This is another great digi from KennyKdownloads.com! And the papers are from My Minds Eye Cut & Paste collection.
The sentiment is from My Favorite Things, and the image was colored with my Spectrum Noir markers.
