over the next couple of days to bring you tons of inspiration using

Love My Tapes and Authentique Paper!

 The Hop will last from Oct 30th, 8am (EST) till Nov 1st Midnight (EST).
In order to qualify for the giveaway, you must

visit each blog and leave a comment on the Love My Tapes blog.

 

I got to work with Authentique' "Original" line.

I love the denim look of it and as soon as saw the page full of pockets

I had to make this mini! Lucky me Love My Tapes has

a tape to match every situation! I used the mixed mini check!

Perfect Match!



Here is the front of the mini, outside of the pocket.

 All of the embellishments - other than the heart charm, staples and tape are

from Authentique's "original" line. I love these stickers that look like labels!

 

 I was thinking this would be a cute gift,

 but now I think I need to keep it! LOL!

Just added a few pictures of the kids!

 

 Aren't those matching stickers cute?

 

I also did this layout with the same collection...

DCWV and Scor Pal!

 

Hey bloggers!!!

Today I am sharing this really fun project made with

DCWV "Autumn Melody stack  and a Scor Pal!

Some of you are asking "whats a Scor Pal?"

It's a scoring tool for crisp lines and folds!

 

 

 I was super excited to try it (YES, my very first project!) 

and I happened to run across this totally

cool book...

 

 

So I had to buy it and this was a perfect

opportunity to try a project from the book!

My project was made using the circus template

(which is totally adorable!).

        

 

 Going with the fall theme - a circus wasn't in the cards for

me but I loved the shape, and I had these cool charms from Blue Moon Beads

so I made a bird sanctuary instead! I altered the instructions a bit

and added holes all the way around.
* Did you notice the pretty glitter?

Lots of the sheets in the Autumn Melody stack come like that!)

 

It's not perfect but hey, it was my first time using a Scor-Pal and it was really fun to make!

I will say that using the Scor-Pal tape too was a life saver! It grabs quick and stays put!

I even used it for the ribbon!

 

If you're interested in seeing what else the DCWV Design Team

has come up with make sure you stop by the DCWV blog and the Scor-Pal blog

all week long.

(Did I mention they are GIVING AWAY PRIZES on the Scor Pal blog? I'm just saying!)

Everyday there will be something new to see!

Blog Hop with Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft® & 100 Proof Press! Tiny works of art- Fairy ATCs

Hey there bloggers!

Today I am participating in

Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft®

and 100 Proof Press blog hop!

I made some fun ATC cards with the fairy stamps I recieved;
this is the "right webbed fairy".

 

Both companies are giving away big prizes if you

comment on all the blogs along the way! If you are interested you want to

start here  100 Proof Press, you will be ending

 at Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft.

 

I love taking pictures of ATC's because you

get to see the detail up close! Closer than your naked eye!

(ATC's are actually 2.5 x 3.5 inches in real life!)

 

 

I used the same techniques on all three ATC's.

 

The back ground:

I started with acrylic ATC's (Clear Scraps) and put a little gesso in the middle.

To get the textured look I took two cards at a time and sandwiched them

together (gesso in the middle) when I pulled them apart and allowed

them to dry I got that variegated look! Once dry I used a dry sponge and

Gelatos™ in the  Blue Collection - Cotton Candy & Blueberry.

I drew in the dried gesso wiht the Gelatos™ and rubbed them in with

the dry sponges.

 

*This is the "fairy blowing a kiss" stamp.

 

Behing the ATC's I used the same dry spong technique with Gelatos™ 

and added a little iridescent medium. I embellished the ATC's with stars,
tiny words, doodling and pigment ink. The stars stamp is also from 100 Proof Press.

 

*"Magic stars" stamp 

 

For the Fairies:

I stamped my fairies on watercolor paper with a

Stamper’s Big Brush Pen in black.

I got the skin color by watering

down an orangeArt GRIP® Aquarelle Watercolor Pencil.

I filled in the wings and dresses with

PITT® Artist Pens from the Blue and the Green collections.

I cut them out, ran the Stamper’s Big Brush Pen

along the edges and adhered them to the ATC's.

* "Birdie ride" stamp

Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft will be giving away a $40 prize pack
and 100 Proof Press will be giving away a $30 gift certificate!

Want an extra chance to win some prizes? Tweet Design Memory Craft at @DesignMemCraft about a technique you learned on the hop for a chance to win their NEW Stamper’s Big White Pen! Or like 100 Proof Press’s Facebook page (http://www.facebook.com/pages/100-Proof-Press-Rubber-Stamps/ )for a chance to win the calendar you saw on this hop!

The blog hop will be open until midnight on October 26th, and the winners will be announced on October 29th on the company’s blog/twitter.

But going to Cali for the weekend and the time change has truly
worn me out! For the first time in my life I can tell you I was
creating and actually falling asleep at my desk! :0!

 

I was doing demos this weekend with Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft®

products in The Rubber Cafe booth at Scrapbook Expo in Ontario. 

I got to meet Brittny Kvilhaug who did a guest spot for
Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft® a few months back
and she is just as cute and bubbly in person as she is online! 

I should have got a picture but I didn't ! LOL!

I only took one picture...

 

because this ram scared me in the lobby when I walked into the hotel! LOL!
I mean seriously I almost walked into it because I wasn't paying attention

and call me crazy - he looks a little scary to me.

(and there are two of themright by the doors!)

So I took the picture and sent it to my

oldest daughter because I thought it was funny - our family has

this on going joke about goats/rams...but I digress...

It was a really nice hotel except for the menacing Rams by the door!
