You are Awesome

Hello friends, it is the weekend and we love that - don't we!!?  I was in need of some comic relief and just had to colour one of my Emerson Quillen images  - a while ago they were all the rage - personally I think they will never date, rather keep on showing up at one stage or another - let's hope so!!

I have used Spellbinders A2 Matting Basics A to cut all layers and the card base using the  Platinum Die Cutting and Embossing Machine. The background paper is from the Spellbinders Celebrations Prints line by Richard Garay and the patterned strip of paper from my stash.  The image has been coloured using  Imagine Crafts 'featuring' Tsukineko: Memento Markers and the sentiment I believe is from Hero Arts.  

  Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L: E-Z Adhesive Runner and 3D Foam Squares have been used on this card. I have added a hand drawn boarder, for some fun - I like the effect is has on projects and have been doing more of it lately....

Purrfect Snapshot Smile

Hello friends - today's card is a little whimsical using a cat image I purchased in a set  a long time ago - I love cats and could not resist them - they will be appearing on a few cards from time to time.

I have used one of the newly released Spellbinders Die D-Lites Smile Up - so cute and perfect for any project - I can see it being used on a layout or two!

I have used the Spellbinders Donna Salazar Designs Chicken Wire Em-bossing Folder to emboss the pink background and sponged it using Imagine Crafts 'featuring' Tsukineko Memento ink in London Fog.

The embossed circle is from the Spellbinders Laced with Love Blooming Collection.   Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L: E-Z Adhesive Runner and 3D Foam Squares have been used on this card.

Birthday Butterflies

Hello friends - it has been a busy week for us here with one thing and another - the most important being our grandson Noah's first birthday party - although his birthday is this Wednesday, his Mummy and Daddy held it early to fit in with days off and interstate family being able to visit - I will share some photos when they are edited.

One of the things I love doing with Spellbinders Dies - is using the Negative Dies - this one from Labels Forty makes a perfect frame.  I have adheres it onto yellow cardstock that has been cut slightly larger.  This is all layered onto a pre-cut white cardbase.

The gorgeous butterfly is the Spellbinders Outrageous Butterfly - and just begged to be coloured brightly using the Imagine Crafts 'featuring' Tsukineko Radiant Neon Inks and a sponge Dauber. This has been adhered to a Standard Circles LG so it did not get lost in the yellow background.  Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L: E-Z Adhesive Runner and 3D Foam Squares have been used on this card and Want2Scrap bling has been added to the button.  Finishing off with Celebra'tions Hip Hooray Sequins.

Boxing Boys

Hello friends - today's card is centered around this gorgeous image - I just love these two little boys and have had the image sitting on my desk for some time, so decided to pair it with other things gathering on my desk - and this is the result.

I have used some discontinued Dies from Spellbinders, along with papers from my stash - you know those pieces that are too good to throw away - and we seem to have boxes of them - but that is me - not you!! LOL!

The image has been printed and cut/embossed using the Spellbinders Labels Forty Six Nestabilities.  This has been layered onto the Classic Squares LG followed by the Lacey Squares.  Washi tape and dove tailed embellishments have been added.  Random splotches have been added using Imagine Crafts 'featuring' Tsukineko irRESISTibles in Dandelion.    Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L: E-Z Adhesive Runner and 3D Foam Squares have been used on this card and the bling is from Want2Scrap.
