Santa

We're having our monthly mini crop going on at Creative Inspiration and the theme this month is Techniques. My challenge is to use Die Cuts on your project. They can be made by electronic machines, hand cranked machines, cut by hand or even store bought.


All the rectangles on my layout were cut with my Cuttlebug and all the other embellishments were store bought.

I hope you'll stop by Creative Inspiration and check out all the different technique challenges we have going on!

Winter Fun

I've got a sketch reveal up today on the Sketches in Thyme Blog. We have a new sketch every week and a new take on it daily by one of our DT members. Stop by and check them out and play along with us.


Here's the sketch for this week


I loved the colors on this sketch so decided to incorporate them into my layout. This photo had all the right colors but I wasn't too sure about using these colors with a winter photo. I was going to add a lot of snowflakes but changed my mind and went with stars instead. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.

Thanks for stopping by!

Watercolor Card

We've got a DT Sketch reveal up today at Creative Inspiration. Every Sunday we do a card and layout sketch reveal. I did the card sketch this week.


Here's the sketch



I have been playing with stamps and watercolors a lot lately. I used watercolor paper and stamped the flowers using Memento Tuxedo Black ink and then embossed it with clear embossing powder. Used watercolors to color in all the flowers and even used watercolors for the background. I stamped the sentiment and embossed that as well and added the little green pearls. 

I hope you'll stop by to see the whole reveal and play along with us.

Thanks for stopping by!
