Let Life Surprise You by Julie Lavalette

Hi everyone, It's JULIE hosting today and I am showcasing the wonderful new Rooster and the Floral Bouquet Kit which has beautiful flowers and amazing foliage dies in the set.

As you can see I decided to turn my Rooster into a Weather Vane, so let me take you through my steps.

In this photograph I had embossed the two middle sections and the right hand rooster on my mat to fluff out the feathers. Layering them onto my flat die cut rooster.

I finished off with a complete Rooster on the top Layer.

This photograph shows the elements I cut out from the Ships Compass, you will see I also cut the letter 'S' so I could have it in a different position on my Weather Vane. I also painted a Barbecue Skewer with Black Gesso and used two arrows from my fun with arrows set trimming the point off one and the tail part off the other.

I then hid my join behind the Barbecue Skewer.

My floral arrangement I added Glossy accents to my Berries and my yellow flowers have Flowersoft in the centres.

I finished my card off with steampunk corners, touches of bling and small dried cream flowers.

Wedding Day by Debbie Brownmiller

Debbie's Time Out 3:30 AM 4 Comments

A warm Hello to you. It's Debbie with you today from Debbie's Time Out. Today I have created a simple yet elegant wedding card using only three dies.

I created this elegant base using the Card Cover Maker #4 and layered gold outline corners to it.

This couple is from the I Do die. I cut one in white and one in black. I then cut the black one apart to give the groom and black suit and shoes. The brides flower arrangement was created using the Dandelions. A little bit of bling and it was done. Now how quick was that and yet so elegant.

Thanks for visiting the blog today and for the comments you leave. I appreciate them.

Friends Card with Corina Finley

Corina 3:30 AM 2 Comments

Hello!

Corina here with you today to host the Cheery Lynn Blog and share my card that I have created using the 3D Peacock die for inspiration. The Peacock die is from May's New Release and has so much beautiful detail.

I cut most of the layers for my card from a large piece of watercolour paper that I inked and sprayed with Distress Stain and Glimmer Mist. I cut a circle and card base from black cardstock. For the 3D effect on the Peacock, I bent up along the detailed cuts and embossed areas. I also added Stickles and a Turquoise glaze to the body for shine.

Dies Used:

A2 Frames Rectangular Classic (Set of 7) - CM-5

Cheery Lynn Designs - 3D Peacock Die - B771

Pierced Stacker #3 (Set of 6) - XL-21

Circle Classic - Silver Stackers - L-4

Sentiment Frame #1 - B189

Royal Scandinavian Tag 2 - B546

I hope you will play along in our Cheery Lynn Designs Challenge. You could win a $20 shopping spree at the online Cheery Lynn Designs store.

Thank you for joining me today!

Take care,

Corina

Me & You 8x8 Layout by Amy Voorthuis

Amy Voorthuis 3:00 AM 2 Comments

Good morning lovelies.
I always wonder why life has to be that hasty & busy like all the time {in my life}..
Last week I had a week like that, every time when I wanted to relax in my scrap room something always messed it up.....but this week is kind of relaxing for me yeahh.
Today I would like to show you a 8x8 layout with a picture of the family weekend trip we had the week before.... on the picture you see my hubby with the youngest member of the family aren't they cute? You'll never guess what hubby said after I took this picture {oh hon I would love to have another baby....hehe} Well what to do with this information since I am the one that really wanted to have another sweet baby.....do you listen to your heart or to you mind....

You & Me:

For this layout I used the pretty NEW "Vintage Romance" collection by Maja Design. I added a bunch of layers. In March we got a couple extra dies with our allotment {Cheery Lynn is amazing to design for} and this time I used the pretty B358 - Chain Mesh Border {steampunk series} I cut it up and placed behind the diagonal part on my layout.

I really like how all the dies come together on this layout....this was such a fun page to make and hubby's smile is the smile I fell in love with.

Cheery Lynn Designs dies used:
B358 - Chain Mesh Border {steampunk series}
B661 - Fun With Arrows

Thank You for your Service With Lisa Blastick

Lisa 3:30 AM 2 Comments

Hello!

Today, I'm sharing with you a fun patriotic card inspired by the homecoming of my nephew from Iraq. He was stationed there for 9 months and I'm so glad he is back safely in the United States with his family. I wanted to make this card clean and simple for you to send to your loved ones or just a thank you to all the men and women fighting for our freedom.

There are only 2 dies used and it only takes minutes to make. I used the largest "banner" in blue and then die cut out 5 of the smallest "banners" in red. The card is 5 x 6 and I distressed another piece of white cardstock at 4.5 x 5.5 inches. There are pop dots behind the distressed piece of cardstock but you can place it flat too. The sentiment was printed on the computer. I just fussy cut the flag ends. It is an Army font, since that is my nephew's branch of service.
