Simple and Quiet

Being that Blogging is still fairly new for me, I have made many layouts and cards and things that were created way before my little blog ever existed. And I want you to see them! Ok, maybe not ALL of them, but some. I’ve got a few faves that I thought I would share with you when I didn’t have a new project to share.

This is one from one of my many trips to Salem, Mass. It takes place in one of the graveyards there. No, I don’t normally hang out in graveyards, but there is just something about this one that I love. Maybe it’s the Salem Witch Trail history that lies there. Maybe it’s that insanely beautiful Oak tree that I make sure I climb when I’m there. I don’t know, but it’s one of my favorite places to be while visiting Salem. Looking at this layout makes me wish I was there right now…

Click on the image to see it bigger. This is by far one of my “simplest” layouts. Not a whole lot going on as far as different papers and embellishments. I wanted the photo to speak for itself. And although the title is “Quiet,” I think this picture speaks volumes.

The background paper and rub-on is from Basic Grey. Solid cardstock from Prism, letters from American Crafts.

I love this photo. And I thought that since we are in October (my FAVORITE month!) -which is when I usually visit Salem- I would share this layout with you. The only thing missing from this picture are a couple of orbs… ;)

Echo Park Blog Hop with Imagine

Greetings! This is my second post for the day. This one is not part of the 31 Days of Halloween, but rather a super-duper blog hop that the Artists in Residence for Imagine are doing with Echo Park . So if you're here for my Day 7 project, please check out the post HERE . But before you do that, scroll on to check out this one. There are prizes up for grabs, so be sure to check out the Imagine Blog as well as the Echo Park Blogs for details. I created my background by applying Dandelion and Tangelo Memento Ink to my brayer. Then I sprayed it with Ink Potion No. 9 to help the colors blend and to act as an extender to keep the inks wet longer. After I rolled the colors out on to watercolor paper and let it dry, I stamped the lovely doily-like image from Echo Park's Simply Sweet Stamp Set with Grape Jelly Memento. I also received the super pretty Heart Doily Designer Die  which I used with a true purple cardstock. But it needed something....and in rolls the super fabul...
