Dimensional trees and pinwheels. My take on Moda basicgrey “Jovial”. Ready for quilting.

Here is the card I made using the "Out of Print" collection. You can enjoy the how-to video if you click here

papers: BasicGrey Indian Summer

What is a vision board/book?

It is a board whereby you cut out pictures of things you desire, stick them on the board and visionalize having these things in your life already.

As a psychology lover's - I like the general idea of the book/movie "The secret" with the combination of neuroplasticity theory so I decided to make my own vision book.

How I made the vision board/book?

I took 2 poor-quality childrens books and torn their papers and covered the bindings with wallpaper.

I made 6 holes in the middle of the bindings and knotted between them some colorful fibers. It helped me to connect the 2 bindings books togther as a one book.

Now I'll add lots of pictures (from magazines and the internet) of things I desire to have.

Wish me luck :)

Another quick card! It seems that it's the only kind I'm doing these days!

A card for the Hero Arts blog. The theme this week was "Papers" and I love all the paper companies that were featured. I wish I had had more time to make a few cards, but this one will do!

I used the new Bazzill polka dots. Isn't it just beautiful? I loved the Bobunny polka dots, but this one is textured! Just love it!

I used Bazzill Blue Denim CS, the green Polka dots and some pale blue from my scraps. I also used a band of Basic Grey that I thought gave a masculine look to my card. The brads are, I think, by Making Memories. The 2 stamps (cupcake and background words) are Hero Arts. I colored the image with alcohol markers andf pop it with foam dots. I inked the edges of the scalloped pale blue circle with Tim Holtz Distress Old Paper. The circles were cut with Marvy Giga and Super Scallop punchesw. The corners were rounded with Fiskar corner rounder punch.

The 2 other cards inside the Origami box.

An elegant Origami folded box I made using a new Hero Arts quatro stamp set. I used only the inside part of the stamps so they are small and I think that they qualify for this week's HA "little stamps" challenge. My cards inside the box are 4" x 4".

I used the beautiful new Basic Grey Porcelain paper. On the cover I used the small butterfly from one of the 4 stamps and the large butterfly. Love those butterflies. I covered the large one with Diamond Stickles. I did not stamp any sentiment on the card, because I want to add it when I know what I need : Thank you or For you or Happy Birthday....

I used the Technique Tuesday/Cath Edvalson Garden of Life stamps and dies for this card. The papers are from BasicGrey's Mint Julep line. For details, please see my blog at: redballooncards.blogspot.com/2015/09/celebrating-cath-tec...

Each month I spoiled myself with something that I really like / want :)

I didn't succeeded to order the "Project 365 Kit" of KOTM & Becky Higgins.

So now i'm trying to collect by myself all the materials that I need for it.

As you can see in this mosaic photo, I already bought:

* "American Crafts" - D-ring 12X12 Modern Album, From - "ladydailly"

* Divided page protectors

I need to make: monthly dividers, journaling block. weekly headers, pre-desinged header cards, day of the week stickers, etc... and then star my 365 album :)

I also bought some items that I love:

* "Tilda - Magnolia" rubber stamp, From - "ladydailly"

* "Basic grey" paper pad 6X6 - Bittersweet

* "Maya Road" Cupcakes Chipboard, in tin box

Here's my take on the canvas Samplers from BasicGrey. They really are easy and a lot of fun to do!

I'm giving away a fat quarter bundle of BasicGrey's new collection PB&J on my blog. It's open until March 11, 2013.

Nurses day is May 6th. I thought it would be fun to make a card for one of my work friends. I used Just Rite Stamps to make the message and the bird is HA paper pieced with Basicgrey pp. The card is made with MME Penney Lane paper. Usually only nurses celebrate this day with each other. Know a nurse? Send her or him a card for hurses day - it will make their day!

For this Basic Grey sketch challenge:

blog.basicgrey.com/?p=4569

The page is about our search for the perfect new couch. After 17 years, this past week, we finally got a new reclining one, plus a standalone recliner. We couldn't be happier with how comfy they are!

This sketch is great for all those BG scraps! I used Clippings, Oxford, Recess, and Basics, and the letters are from Mellow - I just colored them with marker. Had to use my new Studio Calico wood veneer speech bubbles, plus some buttons and burlap twine.

TFL,

Cynthia

LOAD Day 24

Overheard conversation : today I thought about the conversations that I not only hear, but that I have. This got me thinking to the conversations that I have where no words are spoken, merely typed. This is the result. :)

[I lifted the design from myself. The original was a page during LOAD 212. You can see it here: www.flickr.com/photos/kerrycwills/6930477511/in/set-72157... ]

The shadow under the photo is because it is pop-dotted.

I know the title is hard to see [the green rub-ons to the left of the photo], but it seemed like a good idea at the time.
