Okay, on to my project-


I have been wanting to make this canvas project for awhile now and this seemed to be the perfect time for me to give it a whirl. I love how it turned out for the exception of the photo bubbles but in any case I hope you like it but I promise it really looks so much better in person...

I am sorry that I cannot take a better photo but there is too much of a glare. 

Thank you for stopping by now your next stop is

Butterflies and Blogs Birthday Blog Hop

Good Morning and Welcome to Butterflies & Blogs Birthday Blog Hop hosted by Laura over at www.makinprettythings.com

If you came to me from the talented Theresa at www.thescrapbookingqueen.com then you are in the right place but if not please head on over here to start with Laura so you can get all the info on her huge giveaway!!!

Here is my butterfly project...

A FRAME

I used a frame I got at Michaels and DCWV Mariposa collection along with some bling, gold paint, and prima flowers

For the flowers I did spray them with Tattered Angels and then I made sure to over dry them with my heat gun so they had that burnt effect

A close up of the birdcage I cut from the paper

For the birthday part of it...Laura is celebrating the end of her 20's

I made this card for my goddaughter but I was short on time so I tried to keep it simple and fast.

I hope you like my projects and please leave a comment!!!

Christine Real said...

Your dad was a year younger than me...so sad. I lost my mom when I was 16 years old and even though I have been scrapping for 7 years, I did my first layout of her a month ago and I cried the whole time I made it! I am now the age she was when she died....

Anyway, thank you for having this blog hop, I have become a follower and I wish you all the best!

My Creative Time's THROWBACK THURSDAY!!!

Welcome!!! I don't think I can put into words the excitement I felt when I received the message from Emma asking if I wanted to be a guest designer for this Throwback Thursay!! I jumped on the opportunity and knew just what I wanted to use and make.

This Throwback is to make a two page LO with Emma's stamps and a Cricut Lite Cartridge. I have a number of them but don't find myself using them as much as I would like to so this throwback had me even more excited with the REASON for using my cartridge and also for making a LO of my baby which I have been slacking on with all the card making I have been doing.

These are the things I started with...keep in mind I did make a few changes in the end result.

This is the background cardstock that I inked all edges with Chestnut Roan and sprayed the entire sheets with my Tattered Angels glimmermist

I started using this Super Baby embellishment (another Emma stamp) but it ended up not fitting in with my LO but I will be using it soon!

Here are some of the cuts after I glued and sakura'd them (I don't think thats a word but it sounds cute)

I then glued the lace to the cut I got from Lacy Labels

I decided to add my Owl from Sugar and Spice to the circle with pop dots

I used the distress ink to stamp Emma's spanish stamp, it says "buenas noches bebe (Goodnight baby)"

This is a stamp from PKS wide eyed assortment and Emma's All Star Baby and this I cut by hand and then inked

"A baby is a special gift that will bring nothing but joy into your life!"

Not sure how to turn the photos here but I hope you can see this is one of the PKS critter faces and I colored the bunny and stitching with my Sakuras

This mushroom and "Love" are from Sugar and Spice and I inked with all three inks

Another photo that got flipped but on here you can see more Peachy Keen critter faces, gel stitching and Emma's 100% Angel stamp from All Star Baby. I also used my copic to color in the nose

You can see the wonderful flowers from Scraps2treasure, and I did spray them with some more tattered Angels glimmermist. I also added a button and more of Emma's stamps.

I tried to keep taking pictures throughout the process of making my LO but with the kids I was not able to sit straight through from start to finish.

Here is the completed Layout:

I have been having a hard time trying to make it right but its not working...anyone know how to help?

The materials that I used:

DCWV paper packs

Tacky Glue pen from Custom crops

PKS-Wide Eyed Assortment and critter faces Assortment

Emma's stamps - All Star Baby

Sugar and Spice and Lacy Labels cartridges

Sakura gel pens

Tattered Angels Glimmermist

Scraps 2 Treasure flowers

ZVA Bling

Color Box Chestnut Roan Chalk ink

Tim Holtz distress inks

My Pink Scotch ATG gun

and lace and ribbon I bought at JoAnn's and buttons from my stash

I am sorry if you have to turn your head a bit to see it but I hope you like it!!!

Now, head over to your crafty spaces and take out your Lite cartridges so you can enter into Emma's Throwback Thursday here
