Lucky 7 Factory crop

Hello,

i have layouts to share!!!!  yay!
yesterday i spent the day cropping with my buddies Claude, Erin, JJ and Eliane at the all-day crop organized by Lucky 7 Factory.  For those who don't know who they are well they are a Quebec scrapbook papers and embellishments company.  We all received lots of goodies, they do a lot of embellies by hand which is nice.  The crop was extreamly well organized and the food was good too!

unfortunately i arrived late due to a family emergency but i still managed to make 4 layouts and 1 card.  I think it helped that there was a 30 min challenge and a "musical page" challenge.  That last one was interesting enough, we each started a page and after 5 min we'd pass it to the person to our left, we were 5 at our table so all 5 did something on all 5 layouts - not 1 came out looking similar.  Mine ended up very eccletic, i had just arrived and hadn't unpacked yet so i just grabbed a stencil and some ink, i did some ink drop on the too but used a paper towel to absorb it and it smeared, looks a bit like a nose bleed but other that that i like it.

 this is the "musical page" layout. see what i mean by nose bleed...

K-time

here's what i know was used...

washi tape, dylusionals, Balzer design stencil, Ranger distress ink, AC thickers

the 30 min challenge - i'm finding this one a little too plain so i think i'm gonna be adding something; maybe some clouds using a texture medium - i'll repost it when i'm done with it

One fine day

TESC122-have a rockin' birthday!-CPS177-butterflies

I created this card for the my friend's daughter.  She'll be turning 11 this week-end.  I've known her since she was 3 yrs old and she is growing up into such a beautiful girl.  she's also into card making so for her birthday she will be getting a could of pizza boxes full of paper and embellies from me.  I'm cleaning out my stuff and even though it's not new, some papers have never been touched.
I hope she'll like her "new" stuff!






I used some old American Craft papers i had lying around and had never used.  the stamp is from Hannah Stamps, i bought this one when they went out of business and i got it for dirt cheap; i thought it might be good for tweens.   the rhinestones are from the dollar store and they are lime green, i went over them with a copic (BG45) to get closer to the teal from the leopard print paper.
I also used the sketch #122 from Taylored Expressions and a rub-on from Hambly.
what's in it?
pp: American Craft
stamp: Hannah stamps
ink: memento, versacolor, copics (0-C3-C5-C7-RV13-Y17-BG23-BG45-E31-E35)

ok, one more challenge.  CPS-card positioning systems #177

zoom...zoom...

i made this card for a friend's husband how races in Lightning Sprint which is bigger than a Go Kart.  hopefully he won't find this too childish.  I really like it...probably becasue i got to use another one of Mo's images!

I'm entering this card in Mo's challenge - beach/summer.  for me Go Karting is a perfect summer activity with the boys.
I'm also entering it in the Taylored expressions weekly sketch challenge.

what's in it?

stamp: Mo's digital pencil (zoom zoom)
ink: copics, white gel pen, spica pen

BellaG Designs and my boys

So first off i just wanted to share these cute pictures of my boys; they are growing up so fast it's unbelievable! You are probably wondering what Charlie has in his face. Well, I personally do not like Cadbury easter eggs with the gooey creamy center but i was curious to know if the kids liked them so while we were running errands at the pharmacy i bought them each an egg that they quickly devoured in the car. Of course that meant very chocolaty fingers! I told them to lick them clean (uh, hello! that's the best way to clean up chocolate!) Brady just wiped his hands on his jeans (after i specifically told him not to!) Charlie (that's my boy!) licked his fingers clean, well almost. He started with the pinky, that he stuck in his mouth of course that made the first and middle finger stick up in his face and that is why he's got two chocolate lines up his face. On the whole drive home i kept telling him not to wipe his face clean cause i wanted to take a pic! scrapbooker mom, what can i tell ya!

now off to some cards. here are all the cards i made for my first special order through BellaG Designs. These were all for one of my hubbie's co-worker. hope she likes them!
