Today I am sharing a layout I made for the Robin's Nest DT. I took my inspiration from the Blue Tip card in the corner of the photo. I really like the blue and orange color combo.

Supply List:

Blue Glitter Journaling Cards

Orange Crush Cards

Blue Glitter Chipboard

Alpha Glitter Stickers

Daisy Stripe Teal Paper

Moss Green Glitter Paper

Dew Drops

Doilies

Ink

Wood Veneer

Orange and Pale Green Cardstock

To start I cut some wavy strips of Moss Green Glitter Paper and Orange Cardstock and attached them to the top and bottom of the Pale Green Cardstock. I also matted the photo with some Orange Cardstock and layered both on the Blue Glitter Chipboard and the Daisy Stripe Teal Paper. I offset the photo on the blue glitter chipboard so I could add one of the Orange Crush Cards to the corner.

I inked the doily with orange ink and cut it in half and placed them so they would peak out on either side of the photo.

For the title I cut out one of the Blue Glitter Journaling Cards and inked it with a pale blue ice ink so it would appear softer. I added the Alpha Glitter Stickers and an inked wood veneer arrow.

I then stamped a couple of wood veneer flowers and added them along with a couple of diecuts. And then sprinkled some assorted Dew Drops around the page.

Thank you for stopping by!

Sneak Peak

Here's a sneak peak of my layout over at the Robin's Nest blog. I would love it if you would stop by the blog and check it out.

I love working with their products!

Hope to see you there!

Genuine Boy

Here's my 1st layout for the Robin's Nest  DT. I had so much fun working with their amazing products. The theme for this month is All Boy and that's a hard one for me. I hardly ever get any pics of our grandson but I finally found this one. It's really a Christmas photo but it went perfectly with the boy themed papers so I decided to scrap it without using traditional Christmas colors.

Here's the supply list:

Dinosaur Cardstock

Red Plaid Linen Cardstock

Special Delivery/Boys Plaid

Belgian Chocolate Boy Rub-On

Corrugated Chipboard

Wood Veneers

Ticket

Notebook Punch

Gesso

Inks

Brick Stencil

I started by wiping gesso around the edges of the back side of the Dinosaur Cardstock, then stenciled the brick pattern over the gesso using a tan colored ink. I then took the Red Plaid Linen Cardstock and tore two somewhat square pieces to use as the top mat and the reverse side for the bottom photo mat. In between those two mats I used a torn square piece of the reverse side of the Special Delivery/Boys Plaid. I also inked all  the edges of the three mats.

For the title I used the Belgian Chocolate Boy Rub-on.

I cut a strip of the Special Delivery/Boys Plaid and punched it using a notebook edge punch and then scrunched up the edges. Then added the wood veneer, corrugated chipboard star cutout, ticket and chain.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Preschool

We've got a DT sketch reveal at Turtle Soup today. Please stop by and see all the other takes on the sketch.

Here's the sketch we had to work with

This was my granddaughter's first day of Preschool and she was so excited to start school like her big sister.

I just grabbed all my school themed papers and started cutting and gluing. I am very happy with how it turned out.

Please stop by Turtle Soup to join in this sketch challenge. We are having a month long party to celebrate the beginning of our 4th year. We've got great challenges and games with lots of amazing prizes. We hope you'll stop by and help us celebrate our birthday! Hope to see you there!

Purple Card

There is a DT card reveal at the Just Imagine Crafts blog today. This month's theme was anything goes so there will be a wide variety of different cards up today.

I used Kreaxions punch # 307 with no inserts to create the two border punches. I really like this punch a lot. I sprayed the white background with some Lindy's Stamp Gang Glitz Spritz and then placed the darker purple paper on top. It's hard to see here but it really gives it a pretty shimmer. Then added the white leaves and dark purple flower along with the twine. I think I can use this card for any occasion and can always stamp a sentiment on the purple paper.

Some Exciting News!

I am so excited to announce that I am joining The Robin's Nest Design Team. I'm so looking forward to working with this amazing group of designers, not to mention using The Robin's Nest fabulous products. I love their products and can't wait to play with them!

Masculine Birthday Card

I've got a card up at the Just Imagine Crafts blog today. I needed a masculine birthday card for my brother and thought this punch was a great choice.

I used Kreaxions punch # 307 with the C insert  and star template to make the doily behind the tag. I used the same punch with no insert to make the border and then cut the top flowery part of the punch off to make it more masculine looking.
To make the tag, I coated a kraft cardstock tag with gesso and used a template and modeling paste mixed with some orange gelato  and copper glitter to create the stripes. Then stamped the car and added the gears and square tiles.

Ballet?

We've got a Mini Crop going on at Turtle Soup and this month's theme is color schemes. My challenge is to use pink and brown on your project.

I love pink and brown together and thought these photos were perfect for that color combination.

Please stop by Turtle Soup and check out all the different color scheme challenges we have going.

Hope to see you there!

Mermaid Card

Here's a birthday card I made for my husband. He loves anything nautical so I decided to make a tag with a mixed media background for his card.

I started by applying gesso on the kraft cardstock tag and then sprayed it with water to remove several spots of gesso. Then I scribbled some blue and green gelatos over it and used water to blend the colors together. I stamped the mermaid and heat embossed it and then added some bubbles using modeling paste and glitter. I decided to color the mermaid with water color pencils to add some color. I cut the seaweed and coral out with my Cricut and sprayed them with some white color shine to give them some dimension and sparkle. I'm very happy with how it turned out and hubby was crazy about it.

This also fits the All Sorts Saturday 6/4 challenge to create a tag using mixed media at Turtle Soup. Please stop by and check out all the gorgeous tags we've created.
