Bride

Here is another layout of my daughter Mandy who got married in October.  I used a beautiful chipboard which I painted two colors and then used embossing powder.  Afterwards I used stickles to give to a little sparkle.  I cut out small pieces of paper, inked them and then added crackle paint which gives it a rustic look.  I used a fine tip marker to make the sewing marks around the green paper and then added lots of flowers.  On the small flowers I added embossing powder to those as well.  

Thank you for looking!

Beautiful

This is my lovely daughter Mandy.  She got married October 5, 2013.  She married Steve Gray and they have built a new home in Fulshear, Texas.  In case you do not know where that is, it is by Katy just outside of Houston.  She has a 13 year old son, Logan, which is her pride and joy.  He is going into high school, 5'11" tall and a very handsome young man.  He is also extremely bright.  He is in the Gifted and Talented Program.  He qualified in the National Level.  I am not sure where he gets that from...certainly not from me!  LOL  Her two brothers asked if I could please put together a wedding album and here is one of the pages.  It is her second marriage and his as well.  He has no children and thinks of Logan as his own.

She wore a cream colored gown with a beautiful purple tie with crystals.  She looked so lovely.  The men wore brown suits and burnt orange accents.  Since it was fall the colors were orange, green, yellow, and brown.  Everything looked gorgeous!   They were married outside by a small lake.  

I used the colors of her wedding to make this album.  I will be showing all the pages that I create.

Thank you for looking and I hope each of you have a wonderful day!

Design Team Challenge

Design Team Challenge with Ginger

Good morning everyone!!

Today we have Ginger and her wonderful

project to show off. We have the most talented ladies

on our Design Team- I am so happy to be able 

to work with all of them!!

Here is what Ginger has to say about her project;

 Yes, when I was given all the items that we had to use it really took my breath away.  I could not imagine what I could come with and I thought for several days.  Finally...I thought...why not make a birdhouse.  You see, I collect birds and birdhouses and this just might work.

I first painted the birdhouse with white Gesso.  I had in my stash this cute paper which looks like old wood that had been painted.  I painted these cute little birds blue and used a fine tip marker to outline around each one.  I found pretty little blue stones to make their eyes.  I was given a clear square and added behind it Home Sweet Home on a white piece of cardstock and added light pink around the edges.  I went outside and got a little twig and moss so the little bird would have something to sit on.  I added a half circle of cardstock, flowers, buttons, butterfly, stick pins, and tickets to complete the look. 

I took the chipboard pieces and painted them a lime green and then added streaks of brown.  Once they dried I used Rock Candy Crackle paint.  Then added the pink and brown ribbon with another little bird.  I painted the word create and used a fine tip marker to outline around it.   Then added all the other little goodies like the heart, button, and flowers.  I was given the string of pearls so I decided to add that piece to the top which gives me a way to hang the birdhouse up!

 On the back I cut the doily and glued it on, added the half circle chipboard pieces, and then the little bird, flowers, and the cute little tree.

On this I added the chipboards, ribbons, buttons, ticket, heart, flower, and the word art.  

This challenge was a pleasure to complete.  It started off slow but I rather like the outcome!

Soccer

Hello Everyone - Ginger here today to show you my new layout.

This is a photo of my sweet granddaughter Kenzie playing soccer this year.  She is just 5 years old and having a great time.  At this age they are all so cute!! The papers are by Echo Park and they go perfectly with the color of her team!

I distressed the edges and turned the corners inward. I did the same thing with the orange paper to give it a sense of balance.    On the back of one of the papers was soccer ball print.    I cut it out into a circle which gave me a nice soccer ball.

Here I used various flowers from Petaloo and Prima.  I found in my stash this ribbon and used it to gather the flowers.  The three little buds I made by just rolling up paper.  Can't get easier than that!!

Again I rolled up paper to make these little buds and added leaves.    You can also see I used black, orange, and then the soccer ball which I used my Tim Holtz page edger.    I also had this wooden hinge and painted it black and added little pearls.  

The word soccer I painted black and while it was still wet I added little black beads.  I was given the little circle with the star but decided to use them separately.  I added the button with the heart to the circle and painted the star yellow and added my granddaughters name...Kenzie!  

I did a lot of distressing on the papers.  I also added by Martha Stewart a punch to the soccer paper and added ink. I also used two papers around the photos and distressed them as well.

Using Mists/Paints- March Challenge

Are you ready for a new challenge??

It is time for The Crafty Scrapper March Challenge!

This month we are all about using those Mists and Paints-

you know you have 'em! I have DRAWERS full of them. 

Seriously.

So let's break out the mists and paints and get to work!

Here is the project I made for this month's challenge

 

 

I used new Anchored papers by Authentique for this layout.

To get the look from my mists, I positioned my mask and sprayed, then picked

the mask up and flipped it over on the other side of the paper. This gives me two 

patterns from the same mask ;o)

 

 

I love this Maya Road ribbon- it was perfect for this layout!

 

 

Some Prima Flowers and bling from Want2Scrap. The title was cut using my

Silhouette Cameo and Bazzill cardstock.

 

 

Here you can see the two patterns from the mask; the left side got sprayed

 and the right side is where I flipped the mask over. 

So what are you waiting on??

Get to misting or painting!! 

This months winner will receive a fabulous prize pack of
American Crafts Goodies!

You have until March 31st to link up your project below.
 
Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Thankful

Hello!  It is Ginger here today with my latest layout.

I love these two photos which is me and three of my grandchildren...Logan, Kenzie, and Colby.  Each year after Christmas we take as many of the grandkids to a resort in East, Texas.  This one is on Lake Palestine outside of Tyler, Texas.  We had a log cabin and the views were spectacular!  

I love the papers  by Studio Calico and Prima!  They go so well with the photos because they are so beautiful and bright in color.  I distressed, inked, cut out, and added lots of goodies to this layout.

I used Martha Stewart circle cutter and then inked around the outside.  I also inked the key and added a button to the small yellow flower.  I used modeling paste, then added brown ink, and last but not least I took a fine tip marker and went around each little square to make it stand out better.  The outside of the paper were distressed and inked as well.

I wrote our names and then inked it, added the leaves and yellow flower.  I also distressed around the photo and inked it as well.

This layout was very easy to make!

Golf

Hello!  It is Ginger here today!

I did this layout for the Design Team at The Crafty Scrapper.  This sweet photo is my oldest grandson Logan.  He is now 13 and he was around 3 when this photo was taken.  He is so cute wearing a golf shirt, hat, and carrying a golf club.  I love, love these papers by Authentique Suave Collection.

  These papers looked old and it goes with the photo.  I distressed around the second paper and curled up the corners.  The second paper I cut it out and glued to the the pretty blue paper.  I used by Martha Stewart Deco Fan punch and her circle cutter.  I inked around the circle with Tim Holtz Distress Ink.  

I was given the little bird cage, key, and the scallop piece which is from Maya Roads.  I painted each one blue and added Glossy Accents to the key and bird cage.  I added these pretty flowers which I added a center to each one.  I then rolled up strips of paper and glued them down.  I was also given this cute little brown bow tie!!

 On this corner I added a pretty flower and  a pretty center.  I then rolled up more strips of paper and glued them down.  I was given this pretty black flower, bow tie, and by Maya Roads this pretty chipboard button which I painted, added glossy accents, and then thread.

Here you can see the little wire tree which I added another bow tie and more of the rolled up strips of paper.  I was also given this cute banner by Maya Roads which I painted and added glossy accents.  I found these letters and then used a fine tip black marker to go around each one.
