Now on to what I created...

This layout is of my husband and I...It isn't very often that I get him to be serious in a picture. He is usually doing something goofy! The print paper is from the Bo Bunny Enchanted collection. The chippie that I used is Dusty Attic and I did the "Drunken Scotch" technique on it. For this technique, cover the chippie with Glossy Accents or Diamond Glaze. Then apply drops of alcohol ink randomly in different colors and watch is spread out over the wet Glossy Accents. Then heat with your heat gun until it starts to bubble. Let bubble for just a little bit and then let it cool. It is a beautiful look that is easy and you will love! I added some red lace to the layout and flowers that I got from Flying Unicorn, some felt hearts and a few pieces of bling to complete.

I hope you enjoyed my layout. Next up is LaDiva. I'm sure she has something AMAZING to share with you!

Well it is a yucky day here in West Virginia.  I am sitting here with one of my sons watching tv, so I thought I would do some posting on the ole blog.

This first layout is of my autistic son Joey.  We were at Virginia Beach on Memorial Day and this was a picture that I was able to catch while we were waiting on some food.  It is very hard to get a picture of him.  I used Flying Unicorn's kit of the month for this layout.  I love the way that this picture is perfect for this paper.  Don't you agree?


Here is another one that I did with the kit.  This is my daughter Ariel with Joey.  She loves him so much.  I just love the colors of this kit.  


Okay those are the only two that I am going to post for now, although I do have many more before I am caught up.

Enjoy ;o)

Prima Palette

These colors are beautiful and I think I am going to get my hands on to some of these colors today and do some creating.  What about you?  Make sure you head on over to Prima's blog and check out their new newsletter.  It is amazing!!!!!

Enjoy!

So far so good...meaning on me sticking to my resolution of posting more on my blog ;o)  It is a beautiful cold day here in West Virginia, we escaped a snow storm...AGAIN.  And I dislike that, well with growing up in southeast Texas, I hate the heat and love the snow ;o)  I keep trying to talk hubby into moving out west, like Colorado or Wyoming, but it hasn't happened yet.  Now if there were a paramedic job that came open in Yellowstone, he would be there in heartbeat!!!!!  He would even probably beat me there.  Oh well enough of my rambling, let's post a layout shall we?

Yep, this is me and my hubby...we were being Goofy...you know like the kids do now days with their lips puckered and the peace sign.  I challenged myself on this layout to NOT use any flowers.  It was very hard for me to do that as I am a self proclaimed flower floozy.  I have to put flowers on all of my layouts that I do.  I do blame a friend of mine for that as well.  I will never forget, Becky Woods talking about Prima flowers and how awesome they were.  I asked what kind of flowers that they were and that I had never seen them.  Well nothing holding her back she HAD to send me some.  And that is when the flower floozy surfaced.  

Okay, so I hope you like the layout.  About the only technique I used on it was painting the chipboard letters and then inking them.

See ya soon!
