Love Changes Everything

Hello all!  I really loved the colors in this layout # 261 for CSI.  It so reminded me of my grandson Logan who after just turning 18 he is now enrolled at OSU!  I could not be more proud of him and I love him so much!  This picture is of him on his birthday which Pawpaw and I where with him as he went to court to legally change his name to Gray.  So here is Logan Matthew Gray!

This picture is Logan and he looks so handsome!  

Here is the challenge:



The color scheme looks so masculine!  It really inspired me!

Here are the close-ups!

I used a stencil, stamps, watercolors, and tape for the background.  I then added flowers, die-cuts, and stone beads.

I cut out the feathers and butterfly, and used a die cut for the clock.

Most of the items are from my stash.

Thanks for looking and have a scrapping good day!

Estes Park

Hello friends!  This is my layout for the CSI Design Team.  I love the colors which reminded me of our trip to Colorado this year.  Our son Chris and his two children, Kenzie and Colby, went with us.  Seeing the Rocky Mountains is so breathtaking.  While on our way there we stopped and saw chipmunks so the kids got out to feed them.  

Here is my layout:

Here is the challenge:
 

I used die cuts for the leaves and added these micro beads.

I used a pen to add the stitching and to go around the tag and 10 cent.

I made this butterfly and painted it. 

Here you can see I used several pages to the border.  I also used my computer to create Estes Park.

Here is a list of items that I used:

Tim Holtz - Die-cut leaves

Michaels - Flowers and small butterflies

My stash - large butterfly punch, black ink pen, small clocks, ribbon

Thank you for looking and happy scrapping!

Remembering My Childhood

Hello my friends!  Today I am sharing a layout I did for the design team at CSI.  The colors we had to use are so soft and beautiful that it reminded me of my childhood.  There are three photos that I used which one is just me, the next one is my sister and me plus our cousins, and the last photo is my sister and me and two of my friends.

Here is the challenge:

 

Please see my close-ups:

 

I love this banner I created and then I hand drew the zig zag stitching about it.  I also added micro beads to various parts of this layout.  Here you can see the different layers of papers that I used.

I stamped the butterflies and then cut them out.  

I added three small circles around each photos and then added stickles.

I used Tim Holtz die-cut for the leaves.  I very rarely use green for the leaves.  I think using various colors makes the flowers stand out more.

Here is a list of items that I used:

Martha Stewart - Circle cutter

Tim Holtz - Leaf Die-cut

Petaloo and Michaels - Flowers

Bo Bunny - Butterfly Stamps

Thank you for looking and happy scrapping!
