Journal or Scrapbook with Dilly Beans

Hello! It's Friday, so it's time for a new challenge with Dilly Beans! This week, we want you to journal or scrapbook with us! This challenge made me very happy, since I have now made 2 whole layouts this month! Woah! Go me! At this rate...I may actually make an album by the end of the year. Hahaha.

My husband and I throw a Summer Party every year for our kids. Their birthdays are in December, so it's hard to throw a big bash for them unless we have it somewhere. And we prefer to party at home. SO this year, the theme was The Very Hungry Caterpillar (which was a big hit, by the way). So if you will notice Phoenix's Shirt (made by my sister Pam), and Pam's headband, it's fabric using the art from the book. Rhiannon's dress also uses this fabric, but you'll have to wait until I make another layout to see it. :)

I used Halloween Skellie Framed for this page. I matched his lollipop to the Eric Carle lollipop- you can see it on Phoenix's shirt. The kids picked out all of the colors for this image, and i think they did a great job!

That's my sister Monica. I took this picture of the layout so that you could see the pretty blue foil circles that are on this DCWV paper. I thought it was perfect with the dotty fabric! I am now in such a mood to scrap the rest of the pics I printed from this little bash. So you may be seeing some more layouts (hopefully!) soon. Please be sure to visit the rest of the Dilly Beaners on the DT Blog, and give 'em some love. Thanks for stopping by. Have an inspiring day!

Mediterranean Dreams Shaker

Hello! Today I have a card that features the Mediterranean Dreams Subscription Kit from White Rose Crafts.  This fabulous Subscription Kit brings together sparkling, azure Mediterranean seas, sun-bleached shores and the rich colors of vibrant Mediterranean cultures in a carefully curated kit. I knew I just had to try the Jillibean Soup shaker card and I chose to use one of the stamps (from Kaisercraft) to make my background. I stamped the seashell with Tea Dye Distress Oxide all over the background of the card. Then I applied some Walnut Stain Distress Oxide to my craft mat, spritzed it with some water, and splattered it on to my card base. Last, I inked the edges with Salty Ocean Distress Oxide with a Mini Blending Brush. For my sentiment, I die cut a stitched rectangle from my stash, out of the pearly yellow cardstock that came in the kit and stamped it with "Wish You Were Here" stamp from the same "Summer Splash" stamp set, with StazOn Pigment ink. And ...

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...
