Blogged about at www.alidiza.com

I made a second clear card using left overs and basically the same material as in the first one. It is also for the Hero Arts December challenge (sketch theme). The acetate was embossed with a snowflake folder. The remaining piece of embossed aluminum tape was painted first blue, then sanded and then painted white and sanded again. Finally it was sponged with black Distress Ink and clear embossed (one of Tim’s techniques during 12 tags of Christmas). The trees and the sentiment were stamped with Jenni Bowlin Weather Wane. TFL!!

Here's my take on the BasicGrey Altered Owl Teacher Gift. I used pink/blue to make a female owl. Paper is from the Lemonade Collection.

More info here on my blog: laurellanecrafts.com/2012/07/02/owl-gift-box/

When I was gearing up for LOAD this time around, I wasn't sure I was up for scrapping my own stories. I find it difficult to tell meaningful stories at a rate of a LO a day, so this time around, I asked some friends to provide me with photos and journalling. This is my first such page this month... this lovely girl is the daughter of Nathalie (famille1999).

Supplies: all BasicGrey papers, except for the 7Gypsies ledger paper for the journalling + 7Gypsies photo anchor + Making Memories brad and staples + Fancy Pants transparency + Martha Steward butterfly punch + Stampin' Up! spiral notebook edge punch + ColorBox ink pads

Thanks for looking! :)

Using Moda's Origins line of fabric. Completed May 2011. Backed with Botany Vine Brambles in Bark and some Morris Garden from Moda in a mustard color. Couch throw.

I used Distress Ink to shade the snowman and then to stamp the snowflakes. I fussy cut the snowman and the scarf. I'm thinking about adding some glossy accents to the scarf and carrot nose.

This is my second entry for Gallery Idol. For this card I stamped the balloon and sentiment on vellum. Next I adhered sequins behind the balloon only. I then adhered the vellum to a piece of patterned paper. TFL!

Supplies

Stamps - Tim Holtz Birthday Blueprint & Simple Sayings

Paper - BasicGrey Knee Highs Paper Pad, Bazzill White Vellum & Greengrocer’s Brown Bag Kraft Paper

Ink - Tsukineko Jet Black StazOn

In love with this BasicGrey line! about 43x60

I loved this quilt by Emily mleknits.blogspot.com/2012/03/far-far-away-iii-patchwork-... and had to use her pattern

This card was inspired by Kelly who was Monday's Win-a-day. I loved her masculine owl card so much that I realized I really needed more masculine cards in my stock. It is a pretty simple card, but the BasicGrey pattern papers helped give it punch.

I ordered some wonderful Basic Grey papers from www.paperikierre.com. They are just fantastic!!!

This card is for Card Patternssketch #113 and for Hero Arts May challenge (colored pencil and flower themes). I flipped the sketch around to fit the card better. I needed a welcome baby card and liked the idea of using the village stamp as a background, it was stamped with Versamagic chalk ink. The lace flowers were white embossed on woodgrain patterned paper (light beige with a hint of pink). I used my coloured pencils to softly colour the flowers pink. The focal panel was stamped with a woodgrain stamp and the children were stamped on top with Brilliance Beige ink. TFL!!

Supplies: Hero Arts stamps: Musical Walk (F5468), A Village (S5432), Woodgrain Pattern (S5100), Lace Background (S5341), Basic Lowercase Letters (LL188); BasicGrey Life of the Party patterned paper; Prima flowers; lace; Panduro velvet hearts; Versamagic Pink Petunia ink; Brilliance Beige ink; Derwent pencils; DMC floss.

yay! The fabrics arrived today & are in the washer getting their pre-wash!! Then it's off to sew them up!! How do you feel about robins egg aqua cotton & basicgreys hello luscious prints with rickrack (red or pink), partner?

Scrapping the dreaded formal photo. You can read more about it on my blog at sylviehoobanoff.blogspot.ca/

Callum really loves origami. He has a couple of books and has even stolen my practically unopened one and folded most of the projects in there!

I got the free printable tiles for the teabag folded embellishment from: www.teabagfolding.circleofcrafters.com/freeprintabletiles...

Five sense Friday : Smell

When I read this prompt I totally knew what I wanted to do. I had great intentions of making a more patchwork like background with all shades of blue, but after 12 hours of work I just didn't have it in me. It ended up looking very similar to yesterday's page, but it's okay.

I've scrapped this photo before but it always makes me smile. He stole my sunglasses and I couldn't help but laugh and smile.

Journaling reads:

"blue is the name of the cologne from ralph lauren that jon wears. the very first time he wore it, i fell in love. it's just so ... perfect. combine that with his laundry detergent, shampoo, & body wash & it's a deadly-good combination. it's him. it makes me feel all warm & fuzzy inside-it comforts me when i need a hug. it takes me back to our first date & breathing it in. it makes me smile & fall in love. it doesn't hurt that it's named after a color-his favorite in fact! :) such a sweet smell...one of my favorites! may 2012"

Supplies used:

Patterned Papers: Doodlebug, Fancy Pants, Teresa Collins, Bazzill, Basic Grey

Letter stickers: Making Memories

charm swappers, which do you prefer? i picked up both, because i'm doing a fq swap at a guild meeting as well, but since the charm swap is first, you guys get first choice!

the fabric on the left is basic grey/jovial for Moda and the fabric on the right is by Have a Sheri Berry Holiday by Sheri Berry for Lyndhurst Studio.

the Moda is a bit creamier in person, and the Sheri Berry is a bit more aqua or minty. also, the Sheri Berry matches one of the fabrics that's already been posted in the group.

This is my take on Friday's scrapbooking sketch. I used BasicGrey Mellow PP.

This is my entry for the wedding challenge--a thank you card made of teal cardstock, black and red patterned paper (BasicGrey), black and red ribbon, and "thanks" stamped in black ink on white linen cardstock and framed with red and black cardstock.

The beginning of my quilt for Cathy's Charmed Whirlygig group.
