Lasting Memories Challenge #49 Christmas in July

HOWDY ALL!

It's Christmas in July over at Lasting Memories this week! Here is my layout:
I used Imaginisce Polar Expression Paper and embellies. The rest is from my stash. It has been YET ANOTHER WILD WEEK!! So, THANKS BUNCHES for stopping by and I sure hope you play along with us over at Lasting Memories this week!

SOS-Challenge 10

HOWDY ALL!

Buttons, Blooms and Banana's is the challenge this week over at Shopping Our Stash! So, gather up those odd buttons and blooms that you have and put them to work! You can use them in a new way or an old one, or dig out any vegetable and/or fruit themed stamps, papers and embellies.

I have had LOTS of FUN this month being a Guest DT Member this month over at SOS and I will be joining in on all the upcoming challenges!! LOVE to use what I got!!

For this layout, I chose to use some buttons and blooms that I have had FOREVER!! These flowers were from a Hawaiian garland that my daughter had and didn't want anymore so I took the flowers off and knew I could use them. So, I finally dug them and out and used them on this layout of my Granddaughter. We were in my hubby's truck and he has this OLD pair of sunglasses and she put them on and said "Look Me-Ma, I am the NEW OZZY!!" LOL!! So of course, I had to take a picture. hehe

I am also using this for the Grid or EVERY Color of the Rainbow Challenge over at The Paper Variety.

I used a NEW to ME technique by making the background paper. I used Acrylic paints and bubble wrap. I painted the bubble wrap and them smashed it on the piece of purple paper. I LOVE how it turned out! Definitely a little on the MESSY side, but I had FUN!! Can you tell it is in a grid pattern? I should have taken a pic of just the paper, but I forgot! LOL!

THANKS BUNCHES for stopping by and taking a look!

Lasting Memories Challenge #48

HOWDY ALL!

This week it's "All About The Title" over at Lasting Memories! I made this title page for a friend's daughters album and decided to use it!

Here is a close-up of the title. I reverse cut the 3 layers to make it look like their names were written in the sand, and I just LOVE how it turned out:

and here is a close-up of the flowers. I cut them with MTC and then added stickles to bling them up:

Shopping Our Stash-Technique Turn Back

HOWDY ALL!

This week over at Shopping Our Stash the Challenge is Technique Turn Back!

Do you have some supplies gathering dust for a "special" technique that you haven't used in a while (or ever)? Perhaps some stencils, quilling, alcohol inks, shaving cream backgrounds, brayer techniques, melted crayon backgrounds, microfine glitter and score-tape, even coloring with a different medium than you usually use? WELL, NOW IS THE TIME to DUST OFF those supplies and create something NEW!! You aren't limited to these suggestions, but be sure to tell what technique you are using.

I decided to "dust off" my heart punch! I have gotten so used to cutting EVERYTHING with my Cricut, so I had LOTS of fun punching hearts and making this wedding gown embellishment.

Here is the layout:
and here is a close-up of the dress I made with heart punches and then of course I used some stickles to make it sparkle:

Thanks BUNCHES for stopping by and taking a look! I hope you play along with us this week over at Shopping Our Stash!

They were showing the kids how to sit in front of the tree and smile pretty for Me-Ma! LOL!

I used this sketch from Artful Delight:
