Love Love Love YOU

 

 

More experimentation with vellum and embossing.  I love how these words came out.  I stamped and embossed a piece of vellum and them die cut it.  In person you can see the definition of the words much better than in the photos.

 

Can't wait to stamp on and emboss more vellum words. 

Maybe some poinsettias for Christmas!

 

Hope you're having a great weekend!

Hang A Shining Star

 

I love how the Zing embossing powder looks on vellum. 

It has much more a sparkle than you can see here. 

 

This blue cardstock is Lake House from Wplus9.  I finally tried some of their cardstock and it is beautiful.  Gorgeous smooth texture and the perfect weight. 

 

Check out what's new in the File #88.

Rediscovering Vellum {RS#32}

Clear embossing on vellum.

 

 

We all have those products that we love, use, and then forget about.  That's been my relationship with vellum.  Recently, I have been rediscovering it. I love how these embossed snowflakes look.  This vellum from PTI is a great quality.  It's strong enough to stand up to your heat tool without warping and melting.

The Heart Of Christmas

 

Some new goodies arrived yesterday!

Wplus9 had a really fantastic release this month.

 

Somehow I smudged a little kraft ink on the L. 

 Part of me says, "Rip it off and fix it!" 

The other part of me says, "Leave it! Stop wasting paper, no one will notice anyway." 

What would you do?

Good Morning! 

It's Tuesday, time for a new ColourQ challenge. 

This is my first Halloween card of the season.  These colors are just perfect if you need to start making a few Halloween cards yourself.

Sweet Little Baby {Book}

 

 

 

This is the baby book that I made for a very dear friend of mine who recently had her first baby, a sweet little boy.  I wanted to keep the design simple and not too fussy.  I designed the pages on the computer, printed them out and added just minimal stamping.  Aqua and orange is one of my favorite color combinations.  I added in some green and gray to have a little more variety to work with.

 

There is a 'Your Dad' page and an 'Our Family Mom's Side' that I didn't photograph.

 

 

I found this great tooth chart here.

Thanks, Laura, for reminding me to share:)

 

The book stops right at his first birthday, but if she wants, it would be so easy to continue with a few new page protectors and some new pages.

 

I think that is a new record for most photos in one blog post!

Have a great day!  Thanks for stopping by!
