New Cards with Magnolia Tilda Stamps

These are the first Tilda Stamps I have used and I love them.  It is so much fun to color and blend them.  I used Momento Ink, and the Xpress Blending Card. 

The Fall Card is made with the Bon Voyage Tilda and the Sign post and Suitcase that goes with that theme. I used Copic markers to color with.  I also used the colorless blender solution on a piece of denim fabric to make her jeans look more "worn."  I was not going to post either of these cards so I did not save the "receipe, but I decided it was time to jump out of my box and post.

The second Tilda card is made with Jam Tilda.  I loved the card that Tina made with the green skin tone so I wanted to try it on this Stair Step card.  I think she turned out adorable.  It is so much fun to take a Summer stamp and turn it into a totally different Season.

I use a Kilc N Kut cutter so I made cutter files of both the stamps, then stamped both stamps on the cut pieces (this saves me hand cutting) .  I cut the pumpkin, fence and trees on my cutter and a friend gave me the spiders.  I think the large spider she cut on the Cricut and the small ones were purchased. For the green skin I used Copic YG07, YG06, YG03, YG0000.    I also used black and orage Stickles to bling it up a bit.  Let me know what you think.

New Prima Products

I have been challenged by my friend, to actually cut (gasp) paper and do a 3D layout. Wow this has been a challenge. I finally did it....even though it took me a week to arrange and rearrange and be happy with the results. Oh...did I say I had limited products to work with....Aren't they pretty? This is from the new Prima Fall line. I am loving the shabby look.

Digi Time Again

 ....................

I have time on my hands and I am getting bored.  What a great time to catch up Chloe's Albums.  I have a few more layouts to do for 2000 then that year is complete.    I am not that far behind as I have been scrapping here and there every year.  I might get all caught up this week if I work really hard, through 2007. 

Florida July 2010

We went to Orlando, Florida this year for our vacation.  It was also Phil and my 20th anniversary.  Not exactly the 20th we dreamed of...but because of the upheavel in Greece, where we went for our honeymoon, and the upheavel with my brother's run away bride and cancellation of their wedding...we made the best of it!  We had a blast...forget the "FUN" parks...there is so much to do in the Orlando area, and the beaches were very clean and beautiful.  We went to Epcot and that was the only "Disney" park we went to.  Chloe, Phil and I really enjoyed Kennedy Space Center (layout yet to design). This is my first layout of our vacation, and it is of our day at Cocoa Beach.  It was a perfect family day.

Spring Is Here

In March when Chloe and I walked to school one morning we saw this beautiful bed of flowers.  Chloe could not help herself and sat down in the middle of them.  Lucky me I had my cell phone and snapped these pictures.

VALENTINES

Here are Chloe's Valentines for School.  Didn't they turn out cute?  They hold a full size candy bar.  I used My Mind's Eye paper that I just love.  And this is another card I made using the same paper for her teacher.
