Happy Sunday Everyone!
I wanted to share a 12x12 layout I created using my DT design kit. This is a picture of my Scrubby Joe and my brother Lorenzo. It's a great picture and I have wanted to scrap it for a while... i just needed to figure out the perfect layout for it. I think I have ;)
I just love this paper from Pebbles, Tree House Collection in the Sunset sheet. I matted the picture first with a black textured cardstock and then with chipboard and distressed the edges with Walnut Stain Distress Ink. I LOVE the look of the Walnut Stain Distress Ink on chipboard... it's so cool :)
Then, the top note shape at the bottom is cut from my Cricut and tucked underneath all the other papers. The paper line is Jillibean Soup, Soup Staples, Blue Stock. On top of it all, used some remaining border strips I had left from the Echo Park, For The Record, Borders.
All the papers I've used in this project are available at Scrapbook Queens.
Enjoy!
Big Squishy Hugs,
Hey Friends!
I am super excited to show my first Design Team project for Scrapbook Queens! I received my DT package earlier this week and have been toying with the papers since. I was giddy to say the least..LOL!
Here, I've created a sweet little 5x5 card. For the base I've used a pearlized and textured piece of cardstock. I cut a dress form with my Cricut and SCAL2 out of the same paper but in a pearl colour. Just love it! For the front of the card I used paper from Echo Park, For The Record collection. This paper kinda put me out of my comfort zone but I was happy to challenge myself to use the colours of emerald green and sunshine yellow. I think I did a pretty good job, if I may say so myself ;)
As far as trims go, I used a black, pleated satin trim and also a black rosette trim. Both from Maya Road. I also used a piece of white, pennant looking lace... super gorgeous!
The teeny tiny thread spools are my fave! They are so stinkin' cute! I wrapped them with embroidery thread in colours to match the card.
The inks I used are Distress Inks from Ranger in Walnut Stain and Antique Linen.
All supplies used are available @ Scrapbook Queens. Enjoy!
Big, squishy hugs,
Thank goodness it's Friday! Well, at least I am ;)
Today, I got the most fabulous piece of news... I mean a great piece of news to end this great 2011 year.
Here's the set-up...
Early this past summer, I emailed the owner of a wonderful, local scrapbooking store, Scrapbook Queens, and asked if they were looking for a design team member. At the time, they weren't so the owner, Irena, told me she'd keep my email and let me know when they were in search of a DT member. To be totally honest, with everyday life being so stinking busy and hectic, I totally forgot and set it all on the back burner of my mind.
Well... Irena did not forget! She emailed me a few days ago and asked if I'd still be interested in applying...
What? Heck YES!!! I quickly got to my computer and sent in an application. The next few days were nerve racking to me. I kept thinking about it. Was I going to be chosen? Will they like my creations? My style? Me? LOL! Needless to say I was going nuts. Please keep in mind that this all happened within 48 hours!
The verdict came in, and.... I am now a proud member of the Scrapbook Queens Design Team! WooHoo!!! I am thrilled! Can you tell? LOL!
Be sure to check out the SQ website. You may not be able to physically go there if you're not local, but the website's forum is full of scrappy goodness including challenges and chat. The gallery is chalk full of fabulously crafty art. It's all very cool and inspiring.
