Chalk It Up: You Amaze Me

Yay!!  I am posting two days in a row!  Yes, I know....it won't last, but I am still proud of myself! LOL!!  I actually made a ton of artwork using all of the New papers in the 2014 Annual Inspirations book just newly released.  I had an Open House a couple of weeks ago and prepared some samples to show.  That is why you are seeing a few more posts from me than usual. :) 

I love how this little card turned out.  The new trend I am seeing now is doodling these cute little lines as an outline.  Fun, huh?!  This technique works well with this paper pack called Chalk It Up.  I also used a Chipboard Complement as the sentiment.  I used Pattern 22 for this card out of Make It from Your Heart™ Volume 2.  Thanks for stopping by!  See you next time.

Scaredy Cat and August SOTM: What a Hoot

Popping in with a quick post to show off some more Scaredy Cat paper and the August Stamp of the Month (S1408 What a Hoot).  I have to give credit for the cute paper bag craft to fellow consultant, Aaron Brown.  She is super talented and I just loved this idea.  I did change up the owl stamping from her original and the sequin eyes...but the rest is pretty similar.  Check out the close up of the eyes.  Fun, huh!?  I put black bitty sparkles in the center.

 

 

 

I used the new ShinHan™ Touch Twin™ to color in the owl and the hat.  I am really loving these new markers and hopefully my customers will too. :)  I hope you enjoy these fun Halloween crafts.  Thanks for stopping by!

Scaredy Cat: Halloween

My kids and I are big fans of Halloween.  What's not to love?  Dressing up, parties, and don't forget the candy!!  I am also a fan of anything vintage.  This new Scaredy Cat paper has a focal paper that screams Vintage.  When I saw it, I knew I had to have it...and hopefully make a lot of artwork with it! :)  I also used one of our new ShinHan™ Touch Twin™ alcohol-based marker to fill in the stamped Halloween title.  Okay...I am learning.  I need to practice a bit more, but I love the look and feel of these new markers.  I am definitely sold!  I hope you enjoy this layout.  Thanks for stopping by!
