Decoupage - LFL July 2018

Image
These Decoupage sheets add so much texture. I highlighted the lovely Friend with the ribbon from the kit and added some white Nuvo drops as well.  The second photo shows the depth of these - very cool!

LFL July 2018 - Beach Huts

Image
Using the wood veneer and the die cut provided in the kit I made a couple beach hut scenes. I am really enjoying the add on washy tape. It added just the touch to my second card.

LFL July 2018: Just For You

I'm loving these decoupage pieces. I added some peel-offs to this one.

Beach Scene: LFL July 2018

Image
This kit has been so much fun! I've had to sneak in time in between work travel to play with the kit. Finally got a few photos taken. The kit contains what the UK call decoupage - its images that you stack to make a scene. This is my 'beachiest' card - it uses the sand that came in the kit and one of the decoupage sheets. I watercolored the blue background - keeping it simple to keep the attention focused on the rest of the card. I added a few Nuvo drops in the corner and some real shells (all from the kit).  Such fun to make! 

Sketches in Thyme #333

Image
Using a really old Basic Grey paper from my stash I created this layout of my dog Zack and and my grand fur baby Boston. -We have to leave the leash on Boston because he's a wanderer otherwise. - I used stamps from two sets: My Favorite Things - Two Legged Friends (for the dogs and the sentiment) and Simon Says Stamp - Pawprints on our Hearts (for the paw print).  I colored the dogs, giving them a bit of a muddy look, using my Zig Clean Color Brush Markers. A few wood veneers and letter stickers from my stash rounded it out. Oh and Nuvo drops and Love From Lizi peel-offs - as always. I tore the background paper to match (?) the faded edges of the sketch. The inspiration sketch is: Thank you sketches in time for helping me to get back into scrapbooking!

Travel Side-order Mini Dies and Embossing Folder

Got this fun mini kit on a recent work trip to CO. A little side trip to this scrapbook store, Scrap 2 It. It's a great store and an awesome friendly owner. I made the following cards with this cute little kit that works beautifully with the Sidekick. I used some scrap paper. It's fun to mix and match the patterned paper. 

Sketches in Time #332

Paper from my stash again. I pulled a bunch of leafy type dies from my stash and cut sparkly gold leaves. I used thicker for the title and added Nuvo drops. Because ... well ... the same thing with the peel-offs. Addiction never looked so cute! My take on #332 Sketches in Thyme:
