Live Each Day Layout

Hi! This week, the Stampendous team has been sharing lots of projects featuring flowers and foliage. Today, I am sharing a scrapbook page. Gosh...it's been far too long since I have had one of these up here in Bloggy Land. The photo I used is of my daughter when we went on a trip to Strausburg Railroad in Pennsylvania. Whenever we go there, we ride in an open air car...they are so relaxing, and the breeze that comes in is wonderful. My kids love to lean out (just a little) and let the wind blow through their hair.

My Colors Cardstock: Sky, Plum, Grasshopper, Banana Pepper
DCWV: Corrugated Cardstock, Cork Cardstock
Imagine Crafts: Electric Blue Radiant Neon Ink, Pink Petunia Versa Magic Ink
Beacon Adhesives: Zip Dry Glue

Directions: 
1. Stamp the Live Each Day image on to Mixed Media Paper using Onyx Black VersaFine ink. Color the image using the Tombow markers listed above. Use letter "P" from the Fitted Frames to cut out the image. Next, use the coordinating "P" frame with Plum My Colors cardstock for a mat. Attach layers with Zip Dry Glue.

2. Use Sky My Colors cardstock as your 12 x 12 base. Using the Big Dots stencil, take a piece of Grasshopper cardstock, make a 12" single row of dots using the Boss Gloss dauber. Sprinkle Tanzanite embossing powder (from the Gemstone Kit) on to the dots and heat set.

3. For the photo, use the letter "R" die to crop it, and then the larger "R" for the mat in Banana Pepper cardstock. Glue wt Zip Dry. I used the large "F" for the corrugated cardboard.

4. I used the little "C" for the cork sheet. I used the Boss Gloss dauber, along with the Cathedral Windows Large stencil. I heat embossed Sapphire powder (also from the Gemstone kit) on to it. Attach to the corrugated piece with Zip Dy. 

5. I inked the Waves and Dots stencil randomly across my Sky background paper using Versa Magic Pink Petunia ink and a sponge dauber. I then sprinkled Shabby Blue embossing enamel over the background and heat set it from underneath. Next, I inked the edges of the background with Electric Blue Radiant Neon ink.. 

6. I glued all of my layers down, and added 3 small pieces of sparkly ribbon for a little more texture. 

You can see the shine of the embossing powders here. The texture too. I love having lots of texture on my scrapbook pages. 


That's it for me today. Please be sure to visit the links below to see more projects from the Stampendous team. Thanks for stopping by. Have an inspiring day!

February Smeared & Smudged Sketch Challenge

The new Smeared & Smudged challenges are up and ready for you to participate in! I got instantly inspired by Kelli’s card sketch for the month, as I have been working with different ideas for my next “Tarot Card.” Haha! That’s actually pretty funny! If you’ve been checking in over the past couple of weeks, you may have seen my Misty Benson Tarot Set 1 ( Smeared Ink ) cards. I’ve used The World and The Fool so far. Today, I bring you Death. Don’t worry…it’s actually a joyful image…one that I intend to use a lot! First, here’s the sketch. I flipped it and changed the ribbon and embellishment a bit. Can I just start off by saying that it is quite nerve wracking to slice your image??? I have done it a few times in the past, but I always get butterflies when I attempt it again. I colored the image and the card itself using nothing but Distress Inks and my Cut-n-Dry Nibs. My skull button at the top has been colored with Alcohol Inks.   The colors look a little off to m

Christmas in July with Imagine Crafts & Stencil Girl!

Hello! Have you heard? The Imagine AIRs have been hopping with Stencil Girl! If you have been here before, you know I loooove me some stencils, so this collaboration was very exciting for me! The teams are hopping for 3 consecutive Saturdays, and this is week 2. I have the entire list of hop links at the bottom of the post. Be sure you don't miss anyone! I decided to to create an extra large gift tag with my new stencils. Using red cardstock, I taped down the Journal Texture #8 Stencil  and inked it up with Golden Glitz Delicata ink . I promise you, this is the BEST gold ink you will ever use! The Journal stamp only has 2 diamonds on it (it's a 4x4" stencil), so after I inked up the first pair, I moved over the stencil, lined it up, and inked again. Next I wanted to do something textural with the Urban Insiders Star . So I took some evergreen cardstock, taped down the star, and slathered on some yummy Iridescent Green Creative Medium . After the medium dried, I ga

Two Huge Valentine’s Day Hops!

I am in not one, but two Valentine’s Day hops! Not bad for someone that doesn’t even like Valentine’s Day… The first is via Smeared & Smudged . It’s time for our monthly Member Blog Hop! The second was started by Taylor Usry . Please bear with me…this post is long because I am sharing 2 projects and the hop lists are huge. Let’s stat with Smeared & Smudged, shall we? My dear friend Alex and I collaborated on the theme for this month’s S&S Member Hop. Instead of making it a free-for –all, we decided to challenge our members a little…create something Valentine’s Day / love themed, but there is a catch.  Because we are Smeared and Smudged you can not use any of the following: No hearts No red or pink Nothing ‘cute’ unless you make it uncute of course :) Ok, so it’s not dark and scary…but it’s definitely not cute either. I used my colored pencils for the focal image.  It’s from Smeared Ink’s Smitten collection. The “pretty fly” is from the teir teen Style Sa
