I had so much fun making this layout! Scrapping my grandchild before they are born! Again with the pink and teal - but here it's appropriate as we wait to find out the sex of the baby. I layered this one up with pinks and silver mirror card stock. I used a water colored image I had made about 6 months ago and never got around to putting it on a card. I had fun clustering flowers from my stash, with Nuvo drops, and wood veneers. I foiled the black paper and used Thickers and some old Basic Grey stickers for the title.  This layout was pure fun!

Used the frame die and one of the kits stamps. Added the ribbon and button from my stash. I even put it wonky on the card but thats ok because I did use peel-offs, lol. (I used spray adhesive on the back of the frame, to make sure all the bits pieces still stuck down.)

A couple more last minute Father's Day cards - including one for my pregnant daughter's hubby :) and again I went crazy with the love from Lizi peel offs. I made use of my left over strips from the glimmer powder paper, which made me happy.

Played with the Nuvo Shimmer powder that came in the kit - used some white textured card stock from my stash. Tapped the bottom of the bottle tout some powder on and then sprayed it with water. Beautiful shimmery color that the photos don't do justice too. Mounted it all up using mostly papers from the kit. Added some wood and metal embellishments from my stash. I'm loving the letters from the die in the kit. Tried to keep it simple to let the inking the background be the star.

I can't get enough of this Anemone stamp by the Ton. Colored with Distress Oxide inks using a water brush. Nuvo drops added of course. Papers from the kit.

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!

Mike and I enjoy the many breweries around town. A sunny day in December results in hoodies rather than coats here in Albuquerque. Dialogue is one of our favorites for its outside deck. I used my new Tonic kit. I added some papers from my stash. Some mirror brown peel-off from Love from Lizi -such an obsession! I used a Simon Says Stamp "Adult Beverages" stamp kit. Colored with Zig markers on Bristol Smooth card stock. Copper Penny, Midnight Sky and Morning Dew Nuvo drops.  A bit of clear vellum added some framing as did the tearing of the tan-cored black card stock.

Trying out the new Tonic kit! It is amazingly full of items - as you can see in the photo. A good value -- now lets see if I can get creative with it! (The glue pen got cut off in the photo - it was the surprise item- great stash builder!)
