Boston - Tonic Kit 10

Tried to focus on the items in the kit. In addition to the kit I used - Crushed Grape Delusions Spray, Coffee Shop Glimmer Mist to "pretreat" my lavender card stock.


I mounted the photos on the Turquoise mirror card stock. But before I did I "gutted" them as Sandie Steakgoddess always calls it. I used the middle of "gut" to mat the trimmed photo with the puppy. I tend to do this with my specialty card stocks to get the best use out of them.

I added Tim Holtz Chit Chat stickers and made a couple of my own by trimming a bit off the bottom one of the sticker sheets.

Simple layout - except for the large numbers of Nuvo drops. Well, since I used no peel offs, I had go crazy somewhere!

Saturday Cinema Challenge

OK - I missed the last TWO! of these so I am taking no chances on what looks like another busy work week. SO here is my entry for Miracle on 34th Street. I know this line is not in the movie (and that the little girls name is Susan in the movie) but this is what I always think of when I watch this movie. The reference "Yes Virginia There is a Santa Claus comes from a child writing to the Sun Newpaper and the editor answering with the spirit of the season. The card uses Bazzil Paper and Ribbon I forget the patterned paper brand. The Santa stamp is from Oriental Trading and the Letters are Studio G wooden letters. This is colored in with a combination of Tim Holtz inks (with the SU blender pen), Koh-i-nor pencils with mineral spirits and liquid applique. Brads, floss and a decorative eyelet round it out.
