So I was supposed to do a vid of my scrap/craft room......it didn't happen! And for very good reason.....my son & his girlfriend are coming next week!!!!!!!!!!! Can't wait to see them both!!!! Kevin, is the photographer of many of the pics I use in my LOs. I haven't had any of his pics for quite a while, as he's been in Puerto Rico for a year and half! Anyways, I've been cleaning, and organizing, and making preparations for their visit, sooooo, I promise, I will do the video as soon as I can!! BTW, we just found out they were coming, last weekend!!
Timeless
My daughter Ashley.....I love this pic of her!! Would you believe that I didn't write down everything I used for this LO! And it's been quite a while since I made it, so I'll do my best to tell you which products were used.
Of course BoBunny papers, and Coredinations carstock, which I sanded. I think the white cardstock is actually watercolor paper. I used the Spellbinders Lace Doily Motifs to cut the corner pieces. I just cut one in half diagonally, and stuck each piece in the left side corners. Here's a closeup...........
I love the look of the sanded cardstock!! So grungy and vintagey chic!!!
Some BoBunny accent pieces. The flower was made with the Lace Doily Accents. I used the edge piece, and snipped the bottom, and then glued it to a circle. I layered the cardstock, watercolor paper, BoBunny papers and a flower from I Am Roses, to make it.
I was pretty impressed with how it turned out. It was my first time doing this, and I'll definitely do it again!
The title was typed onto watercolor paper, and cut with the Lace Doily Accent label, and layered over another accent piece, which was also sanded. I added a T!m Holtz clock face, and some flourishes, which I think were BoBunny cardstock stickers? I think.
All of the flowers and skeleton leaves are from I Am Roses. My faves are the gardenias and cherry blossoms!! But those curly roses are fast becoming a new fave!
The One About The Hose
This is as simple an LO as you'll ever see from me!! Definitely not my style, but it turned out pretty cool. I was having such a hard time photographing this LO, cause I layered a transparency from Dynamic over SEI paper....and no matter what angle I took the picture from, I would get glare. Ugh!!!!!!!!! If you look at the top middle portion, you can see the green leaves of the SEI paper....that's what the whole thing looks like. It's a very cool LO, I just can't show it to you that way!! Here's a closeup of the top section....it'll give you a better idea...............
The story behind this LO, is that my daughter Ashley & my grand-son Mason were here visiting us for a few weeks. On a Sunday afternoon, when my son Dan & his wife Carol came for dinner, one of our neighbors became ill, and paramedics were called. Well, Mason had to see the BIG trucks (here they also send a firetruck with the medics). So Dan took Mason out to the street so he could get a better view. Well the ambulance left, and the guys got into the firetruck, and pulled up to our driveway!! They got out, and asked Mason if he wanted to go inside and look around!!! They showed him everything, including the hose. Needless to say Mom was out there taking pics, well...............yep, they turned the hose on her (not hard). Of course Mason got a big kick out of this!!!! And I got some awesome pics!! Just wish I had one of Ashley getting sprayed!!! LOL
I think that's all for now!! I'm almost finished showing you projects from January!!!! And I still have to take pics of the about 10 more I've completed recently!!
Happy scrapping!!
Lynne
