TGIF!
Beautiful projects to start your weekend off right!

Lucky Me

Tuesday, March 11, 2014

 
I'm not big on St. Patrick's Day even though I am a bit Irish.
But what you've probably figured out is that I am a hopeless romantic.
 
 
In Ryan's wallet, among other little things, he keeps this 4-leaf clover.
So when I see one it doesn't make me think of leprechauns, it makes me think of him and how lucky I am to have him as my husband.
 
 
 
I layered up some die cut hearts to create my shamrock.

 
Hope you're having a great day!

Our Day By The Sea

Monday, March 10, 2014

 
Hello!
I've lost an hour of sleep, but I'm really excited about it.  Why?  More light in the afternoon! I made this card yesterday inspired by our day at the shore on Saturday. It was a little hazy and grey, but the sun was out!
 
 
I tried to capture the colors and mood of the day. It's amazing how the way the watercolor dries on the paper can make me so happy!
I used dye ink swiped in stripes on my craft sheet to create the watercolor background. Starting at the bottom I swiped on tan, blue, light blue, and grey.  I spritzed it all with water and dragged my paper through the colors sideways so that the color mimicked the sand, sea, and sky.
 
 
 
I did a little embossing, in white, using Wplus9's Dockside
I wanted it to be very subtle and add to the calm mood.
 
 
Thanks for stopping by!

 

Beach Day

Just popping in to say 'Hello'
Yesterday was the warmest day we've had in awhile.
Ryan and I took advantage of the beautiful weather and took a ride down to the shore.
Hope you're having a great weekend too!

One-Layer Card {Or is it?}

Wednesday, March 5, 2014

 
Hi!
Now technically I don't consider this a one-layer card,
but since Erin is being relaxed about the rules, I will too!
The new Make It Monday is about using color and texture to add interest to one-layer cards.
 
 
You could totally make this a one-layer card design and I would have too, except the piece of paper I started stamping on was not large enough to become a card all on its own.  I would have loved for the leaves to continue part way down the back too! 
Perhaps I'll make that card today!

 
Thanks so much for stopping by today!
