crop day - share1

I went to an all day crop on Saturday, and oh, did I need it!! It is amazing to me how spending a day creating with friends does so much to help re-set my head. I got a ton of work done, and will be sharing some throughout the week (not all, though, as some layouts are of pictures that I don't normally post on the web).

My first two are my favorites from the weekend.

1) Love, nai nai

Paper line is Kaisercraft Loire Valley



2) All Boy

This is one of those paper lines that when I first received it, I was intimidated.


But I find that with really strong prints, breaking it up and using it in bits with lots of negative space usually does the trick. I love how this turned out.

Paper is GCD Studios, Vintage Boy

tutorial - lace paper and color mists

A quick tip - flip over the theme cutout of a piece of lace cardstock, and use it as a stencil with the Tattered Angels spray


When you remove the template, it is very subtle effect

On its own, however, it is still too flat to anchor the layout on its own. Create an unusual border, and add visual interest, by disrepecting the edges of your page - take care that whatever you add over the edge of the flower of the die cut paper base, that it still will fit into your page protector - but within those dimensions, you really can add a lot by simply going over and above the edges. Here I just used the themed cutout, only at the cutout part of the paper and edged it up to the top left - now, that, and the sprayed bottom right, form a very rough frame for my photo.

thank you tags

My kids did a wrapping paper/etc fundraiser at school, and the items are coming back on Monday for distribution. I wanted to have each kid sign something in appreciation for the support of those who purchased. I made these quickly, and loved how they turned out. The kids' will sign each one personally, and I will deliver it with the product that was purchased.

the stamps are Gelatins

congratulations *RR*

I love Rubber Romance images for their sophistication. This one reminds me of my friends... That hope and sense of of pride we had when we had finally passed the bar and were ready for our first day on the job....
