Scrapbook: Cherish Memories

After learning my passion for old photos, my friend emailed me a photo of his family taken in the 1950s (I think!). I printed the photo on a transparency and attached it to white cardstock to allow all the little details to stand out. I really think it is a perfect frame for his family photo.

Cardstock: Stampin Up Wild Wasabi textured, DCWV scallop white core,

Bazzill earthtones textured

Patterned paper: Creative Imaginations Golden Floral

Ribbon: Michaels

Flowers: Prima

Embellishments: Rhinestones, Button, Heidi Swapp journaling spot,

Making Memories square clip

Altered project: Canvas Motivational Plaque

This little plaque was a request from my brother after he saw my last canvas project. He wanted something he could look at that would motivate him on some of his difficult days. I picked a few quotes and he chose his top 3 quotes. Of course being a mega sports fan one of those quotes had to be by Vince Lombardi. The medium used is a transparency attached with 1/8" tacky tape to a 5x7 canvas panel. I added some Crop-A-Dile eyelets and threaded some ribbon to make it easier to tack to his cubicle wall. The swirly embellishment is a American Crafts Thickers chipboard shape sticker. It was a quick project!

Wonderful Wednesdays: August ATC

On this my first installment of "Wonderful Wednesdays" I wanted to show you how I used those butterflies. I wanted to keep as much of their vibrancy as possible so I printed them out on inkjet transparency sheets. These are my first ATC cards for APieceofcraft . Marion Smith is an inspiration with all the embossing idea videos on Youtube. My strong in divine guidance allowed me to find her online. In these I used Arithmetique gaffer tape by 7Gypsies, Stampin Up Vanilla cardstock and jewel brads from the pretties kit, as well as stamps from the Make it Count stamp set. I have also always wanted to play with some Dee Gruenig brush markers I bought a while back. I wanted to make the stamps echo the colors of the butterflies and I found myself wondering why I hadn't thought of the idea before. I will definitely make up for that oversight from now on.

Cards: Thank you Mic

The image i used for this card is a ceiling detail of a chapel in Dallas. My cousin Mic and his family are very spiritual. I thought this would be the perfect image to express my gratitude for inviting me to their home. I used a transparency, Stampin Up white greeting card, and a Heidi Grace thank you stamp.

Cards: Thank you Jenna

My cousin Jenna loves dragonflies and I thought this was the perfect image to use to send her a thank you card. I printed it on transparency to get the most luminous look possible. I am still looking for the best adhesive to use with transparencies, so if anyone has any suggestions please let me know. I used Stampin Up white greeting cards & ribbon, Heidi Grace thank you stamp, and Heidi Swapp decorative tape (from my stash).
