Waterfall fold scrapbook page

Ok, up until now all I've posted are cards, so I thought I would share with you my latest scrapbook page.

I got this cool idea off of the scrapbook lounge and had to give it a try. It's a waterfall fold that I have added to my page. Hit the link and watch the webisode for all the details, this is an easy and fun technique!

The theme of the page is "Down Time". This was our latest camping trip and my DH spent some serious time fishing, in other words his down time! I don't have my license yet, so I watched the dog and read a book while he tried to catch the big one. It's a catch and release river, so I didn't have to worry about cleaning, cooking or eating any fish! YEA! All I've yet to do is journal on the waterfall folds.

I used my cuddlebug embossing folder to emboss the background for the die cut letters(cuddlebug Olivia alpha) of the title. The words stamped on the waterfall folds are Live Inspired from The Angel Company. All paper is DCWV.

Embossed Daisy

Happy 4th of July!

This is my card I did for card sketch #131 on SCS. I embossed my main image with my cuddlebug after I colored it with my prismacolor pencils. The designer paper is from K&Company. The main cardstock is bazzill. Daisy is from the flowery fun set from The Angel Company.

I was recently tagged by Mercy Kerin and I'm suppose to tell 7 random things about myself. So, here we go...

1. I'm addicted to the card sketch challenges at SCS and ASB. duh...like you all don't know that one already. LOL
2. I have a secret that I can't reveal until about a month from now...stay tuned.
3. I have ketchup in my veins. That's what us tenured upper management folks tend to say when asked why we've worked for McDonald's for so long. I've been at it for 28 years.
4. My dh thinks that I'm a computer guru...when in fact I just use my common sense. He thinks that I can fix all of his major mess ups, when in fact, he just needs to use the brain he was given and work things out for himself. LOL !!!!
5. I have a 4 legged, furry child named Dylan.
6. I'm a classic rock kind of gal.
7. I'm in the process of scrapbooking our camping trip from last weekend. Once done, I'll post the pictures here.

Now, I'm suppose to tag 7 people. But, I'll have to get back to this later.

Hope you all had a great 4th with family and friends!

Window box

Another card made for SCS card sketch challenge. This one I colored using my prisma colored pencils and OMS. I stippled on some creamy brown chalk ink by colorbox to the perimeter of the card and then matted it a couple of times using Bazzill card stock. The stickers are outline stickers from HOTP. I used my window word punch and added some brads to the right side and called it good. The window box image is from The Angel Company called southern belle.

Designing your own card sketch

If you been following my blog, you know that I love to participate in the card sketch challenges at ASB and SCS. I always wondered how hard it was to take the time to do something up on the computer. Well, I started playing around in microsoft word and realized it's pretty easy, if you keep it simple. So, here is my one of my own sketch drawings and my example card I made to go with it.


Stamps are "Flowery fun" and "be authentic" by The Angel Company. The ink is palette noir and french lilac. I colored the flowers, and water in the vase with prisma color pencils and OMS. The shine on the water in the vase is achieved by using crystal lacquer. All card stock is by bazzill.

If you like my sketch, make a card using it and send me a link! I would love to see what other people create and it would be fun to see what they did with my attempt at drawing sketches! Have a great weekend!

Gerbera Daisy in red

Good morning! I made this card for SCS sketch challenge 129. I used my faithful Gerbera Daisy from The Angel Company and colored it with prisma colored pencils and OMS. The designer paper is from Daisy D's. I used my giga and mega scalloped punches and popped them up with dimensionals. I also decided to use my small hand punch to add some interest to the scallops. To finish off the card I added a row of straight paper piercing on the right side of the card.

Jumping for joy!

I made this card for a friend of mine who just made it through an intense inspection, and on a Saturday no less. So, congratulations were definitely in order and everyone on her team should be jumping for joy!

The flower stamp is by Stamping Bella, stamped in Noir Palette ink and colored with prisma color pencils and OMS. The sentiments are from The Angel Company and stamped in french lilac Palette ink. The card stock is from Bazzill.
