Happy Valentine's Day!

Hello Everyone,
Quick post to wish you all a happy valentine's day!
I made this for my better half :) He says there should be more pictures of us around the house ( Everybody: Awww!).
This is us in Bordeaux by the Grand Theatre having some fun with our camera.




I used the colorful life stack by DCWV. I love how all the collage work in the background is already done. All I had to add are the letters, the picture, the fabric and the pins.

Sometimes I look through the fabric remnants at Joann's and once in  a while I find something that I can use in scrapbooking, cards or altered projects. I got both of these fabrics there. I used a pink lace and a white mesh which I sprayed with smooch spritz in red and gold.

I punched hearts on the picture corners and in the lower right for the 'o' in Love. The little hearts that got punched out of the corners are glued as the body of the butterflies. The letters are painted chipboard. How easy is that?!

Hope you all had a lovely weekend!

    Hi Karla - am back in the cold in England now. Love this LO and find it interesting to read about your mix of medias. As you say, DCWV have some fabulous papers - no wonder you love using them. Take care.

I'm so excited about this blog hop! I've loved Faber-Castel products for a long time and it was so much fun to combine them with my favorite DCWV textures. There’s some great prizes too- Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft and DCWV will be giving away $75 in product at the end of the hop.  To win, follow the list below and leave a comment .  The hop will end at 5PM EST on Friday, March 28 th .  The winner will be announced on Monday, March 31 st on each of the company’s blogs.    I really wanted a special page for these pictures. They give me a very HAPPY feeling  and I love the sun rays coming through the trees. I wanted to mimic that in the background paper. I thought the woven craft cardstock was a great background because its a little less stark than white for these pictures.   I wanted the journaling to be more private so I made it a pull tab behind this cut out tag from the Bohemian Sunrise stack.    ...

Christmas with Clear Scraps & DCWV

Image
Welcome to Day 2 of the DCWV and Clear Scraps blog hop! You should have come from Britt's blog: http://pinkpapercrowns.blogspot.com Thanks for making it this far!  On to the project... I might have a LO or 2 about Christmas....Why? I just never get around to making more of them! The Holidays are usually too crazy and then I get into doing LOs of just ever day stuff or travel pics... and the holidays just get forgotten.  This year, I'm ready! I'll have the album pre-made, I just have to stick on the pictures and add some journaling! I used this 8x8 tabbed acrylic album from Clearscraps to create a Christmas mini that is ready to go.  The papers are Christmas Memories with a little bit of the Christmas and winter Diecut stack, the Christmas basics 6x6 & the Burlap stack. I love clear albums because I like to see the layers through the clear pages.    I folded the 12x12 papers in half and cut them to create pockets for ...
