CSDIVAS BLOG HOP! COMING SOON..

Sponging using Distress Inks.. by Tim Holtz

Hello Friends,

I had a blast at the Anaheim Scrapbook Expo yesterday and took some time today to Kreate and play with my newest Stamp set by Unity Stamp Co. www.unitystampco.com



This is an awesome set.. It just screams vintage to me.. I used 2 Distress Inks on dabbers to create the base card shading and the shading in my circle die and sentiment. I then used 2 inks on the flowers inside the embossed Black bird.. I hope you can see the shimmer in the bird..

I am having many ideas flow to mind for this set.. The Distress inks just may become a new favorite..

Enjoy! Liz

Scrapbook Expo Anaheim, CA 2012

Hello Everyone,

Today was a fantastic day... I spent the day with friends at the Scrapbook Expo in Anaheim, CA.. It was a fantastic display of several companies offering great prices and specials for their products.. I must say I bought a little more than I thought and only stuck to my wish list in one booth.. Everything else were impulse buys and I LOVE THEM...

Here are a few pics of me and my friends...

Michelle Sanchez and I. It was so wonderful to see her in person finally.. We've been friends since Jr. High and hadn't seen eachother since HS..

Maryann, Milton and Michelle.. Fabulous people!

The fabulous Stephanie Barnard of The Stamps of Life and Sizzix.. We love her!!

this is a shot of the exhibit hall as we were leaving..

and drum roll.. my new goodies..

The Stamps of Life purchases...

Today was a fabulous day! If you ever have the opportunity to attend an EXPO, please do it.. they are so fun..

Happy Krafting,

Liz







Happy Friday Everyone!

I will be attending the Anaheim Scrapbook Expo today!! SO excited.. Pics will be shared later...

Have a great day...

Hello My friends,

It's been about a week since my last post.. I found a fabulous paper pack at Michael's on Saturday and decided I'd splurge on it.. Of course, it went on sale the next day.

Here are a few cards I made out of one 12x12 sheet.. I was able to make 9 cards.

The vibrant spring colors are amazing.. I hope you like them..

shhh, my special anniversary card is made and ready

Hello friends,
I bought the most adorable die and stamp set from Lil' Inker Designs and made the cutest Anniversary and Valentine cards. I have so many heart dies and framelits but as I opened my mail yesterday I had ideas flowing....

Here is my love Paul's Valentine card, I did see this card idea on Lil' Inkers shop site so I tried recreating it.

I love the way it turned out.. I'm in love with Kraft cardstock and pinks and reds...

Here's the card made for our 18mo Anniversary next week..

and the inside:

I left enough room to write short reasons why I love him... and of course since I made the card a 5x7 I needed to make my own envelope from a homemade template..

I love making special cards... Paul is so sweet and always displays his cards proudly... I hope you like them.. Head over to Lil' Inkers Designs for great sets and prices... www.shoplilinker.blogspot.com

Paper Smooches ~ March Search

Hello Friends,
I am a huge lover of the Paper Smooches company... If you haven't visited Kim's blog or store you are really missing out... www.papersmooches.blogspot.com

I am submitting the following cards to one of the contests the company is having...

can you see the 3D heart? I used a valentines cupcake tooth pick.. I took it off the pick and used it as an embellishment..                                                                                                                                  

I used PS card template and ran it through my embossing folder for some added dimension.

Love PS.... I know you will too...
