LOAD12 "Road Trip" Pet Scrapbook Layout - Make your own embellishment. I made the map flowers a few years ago (when I attempted an Etsy shop) and have been waiting to use them. A layout about car rides was perfect. I also made the other circle embellishments and used my last two giant brads. The butterfly and heart were made by my 5 year old a few months back. Supplies: cardstock (black, Wausau, BasicGrey), Echo Park stickers, brads. This is the pin that inspired my layout: www.pinterest.com/pin/106819822385985124/

This was done for a Watermark post: Watermark: Thinking about thinking, the brain, mind, and consciousness

26 new colours of Basic Grey Grunge

This is for Sarah's Hero Hostess Apron Color challenge. I needed a card for my niece's birthday next month and thought this was the perfect challenge. She is a very girly girl and I know she will love it. Basic Grey paper is on the background.

I used Copics to color in the cupcakes and then added to Glossy accents to the top.

I was inspired to create this card for the Hero Arts June 2012 "Thinking of You" Challenge.

The background is patterned paper called Peanut Brittle from Basic Grey's Sugar Rush collection. The focal image is created on vellum that has been colored with Ranger alcohol inks. I forget the exact recipe, but I think I used Wild Plum, Eggplant, and Stream.

Once the vellum was dry, I cut it to size. Then I stamped Hero Arts K5486 Flower Swirl Vine using Tsukineko VersaMark watermark ink on top. I heat embossed with Ranger seafoam white embossing powder. Then I ran it through my Xyron to apply adhesive consistently to the back of the vellum and adhered it to the pale blue matte.

I attached a purple ribbon bow in the upper right corner. I stamped the "thinking of you" sentiment from Hero Arts CL140 Thinking of You Messages onto Wrights twill tape using Tsukineko Memento Grape Jelly dye ink. I wrapped it around the focal image and matte and then adhered it to the card base.

Thanks for looking! :-)

I made this for a friends granddaughter who desn't like flowers or anything too girly. I stamped the flower on her dress seperately, cut it out, used glitter on it & then raised it up with foam adhesive. I also coverd a chipboard tag with the BG paper & stamped on it. TFL

Three pieced arcs on Grunge by Basic Grey.

Designed by Shiloh Jorgensen using Chestnut Drive, Scallops, Strips, Tiny Floral, Tiny Brackets, Photos

I did a swap with a friend -- she made my kiddos crocheted hats, and I made her baby girl a little quilt...

www.facebook.com/jennypancakes.etsy

For Sketch #1, I decided to make a masculine valentine by combining Basic Grey Archaic papers with Hero Arts Love Letters (LP026) and From the Heart Greetings (LL169).

The love letters were stamped in ColorBox Chalk Dark Brown on blue Archaic paper and clear embossed. I used an orange Sakura sparkle pen to color one of the blooms on the V.

The From the Heart Greeting was stamped, embossed, and cut out with the EK Success Folk Heart punch. I attached it to brown Archaic paper and free-hand cut around it for a border. The finishing touch is a tiny Prima Sweet & Sassy Bloom with an aged gold brad.

I snapped this quick between the storms that are rolling over today, the clouds are dark and angry!

I hung it on the line so I could step back and be sure the pattern was perfect, after finding 2 4-patches rotated yesterday and unpicking 1/2 the quilt lol.

I'll be adding a border when the fabric on the bolt arrives in October :)

I made this card using the beautiful Hero Arts Magical Flower stamp (CG284) that I received from Marÿke (pippa67) in my Secret Santa package last month. Thank you so much, Marÿke - I love having this stamp in my collection and look forward to making more cards with it soon. TFL.

Other supplies: Hero Arts Brushed Frame (K5785), Hero Arts Tiny Heart Background (CG604), Hero Arts Everyday Messages (CL342), Hero Arts Cup O'Joe Ink, and BasicGrey True Love patterned papers.

A quick, feminine holiday card for a neighbor. I am also entering this in the Let It Snow challenge at the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge blog. Thanks for looking.

Supplies: Hero Arts Christmas Tags Set (DI040), Hero Arts Spread Joy (331232), Hero Arts Snowflake Die (DI064), Hero Arts Ink (Pale Tomato, Neon Red), BasicGrey RSVP patterned papers, and BasicGrey Candy Buttons.

I had a great time making this shaped card. The background is a page from Basic Grey's "Recess" 6x6 paper pad that was originally an amber brown color. I swirled Worn Lipstick Distress Ink over top to make it pink and then stamped in Worn Lipstick over top of that. The holly leaves are colored in with color pencil, but it is hard to see in the photo.

One of the things I liked about this card was that the placement of the stamping didn't need to be too exact in any one place except maybe the sentiment. And I like shaped cards like this one, even though they don't necessarily stand up well.

Thanks for looking! :-)

Jon sent me a text that said this and I've saved it in my phone. It always makes me smile.

The banner-like pieces under the photo were inspired by Whimsical Nature here: www.flickr.com/photos/whimsicalnature/7180402288/in/photo...

The stitch-like lines do go all the way around the page on all four sides, not sure why some of them got cut off.

Journaling reads:
