Congratulations - A wedding card

Again, thanks to my pal Holli who let

me stamp, watercolor and fussy cut out

this really neat lady with a hat.

My friend, who recently married, after being

together for a long time.

Tied the knot.

 Used some watercolors in the background and

she just happens like purple.

The inside.

Pinterest & the Grinch

I had a blast doing this card and totally

surprised myself.

I do not have a lot of confidence in drawing

my own stuff so therefore, 

 when I make cards, I punch, die cut, stamp

and fussy cut  but never "draw."

But, once again pinterest comes through and I love it.

 I actually free-styled those eyes, brows, and most

importantly that Grinch grin.

And don't forget the nose.

I totally surprised my bad self.

And that makes me wanna do more.

This card is another favorite of mine.

Pink Polka Dotted Paper

 Say that 3 times fast LOL!!

Anyhoo, managed to work in my homemade tag

with the pineapple and flamingo.

I neeeeed to make more.

 Splattered some mists about and using tiny

wooden and enamel stars, dots

and just for fun threw in some nuvo dots.

Amelia being goofy - love it!!

She's growing so fast. 

Momma captioned this photo that Amelia

wants to donate her locks.

She does have gorgeous long hair.

We'll see how that goes.

Love the transparency letters for a title.

Not as hard to see in real life.

And a doodled border.

Again, reusing elements on different layouts

I seem to be diggin' circles lately.

And borders - they do create a lovely feel.

And again employing their use on another page even

the same color.

It does make an album cohesive, however, there's really nothing

cohesive about my everyday albums.

And a lot of my pages go in the grandkids 8x8 albums

so that doesn't help with the cohesiveness,

and doesn't that give me the license to use whatever I want,

whenever I want. LOL!

This was basically a driveby page as I couldn't make up my mind

about a lot of things.

I know you're surprised.

It was the new Echo Park I've been working with and

I love the heart page - and all its busy-ness.

So I threw on some gesso and watercolors and then

couldn't decide if I liked it.

Therefore, its mostly covered up.

I also had a couple of leaf branches where the feathers

are now, and decided that looked too girly

and went with just feathers.

Did some stamping, the music is Studio G and the100% boy

is from Recollections and both work perfectly.

And then there's the wood veneer alphas and stars.

Well finding the letters was fun.

NOT.

For some dumb reason that, I in my infinite wisdom, dumped

every single wooden embellishment I had from Studio Calico

into one big ole bowl.

Every.single.one.

And doesn't that make for good hunting when you need to make words.

I proceeded to dump everything out of the bowl and now I have

them all segregated according to alphas, hearts, people, and arrows that

I have an amazing abundance of.

As you can see.
