you make my heart sing!

This LO based on Simply Scrapping sketch #61 (by Judy Law) for one of the Double the Fun challenges. This sketch was so much fun to play with...and honestly...this was one of FUNNEST LOs I've made in awhile...I had to stop myself from adding any more to the page...I just really played around with the paper and loved loved loved it all! All embellishments minus the brads and the mushrooms by the "w" in wild are from the sassafrass paper itself. The mushroom bundle I just mentioned is done with stamps. I stamped A LOT with this one and I am really pleased with how it came out. Enjoy!

glittery goodness...

...at least that's what I'm calling this card! I started out with an instruction sheet from Penny Black...but after reading all of two lines of it...I lost the sheet...so I just went with it and came up with my own version of it! This card has been glimmer misted to near death! Three different kinds of glimmer mist, three different stickles, two kinds of shimmery paper...throw in some heat embossing...i may only be missing the kitchen sink here! I picked up the wreath stamp at my LSS- The Stamping Place and Scrapbook Station. Anytime I go in there I walk away with something I can't wait to play with!

...and you're sitting on top of the world!

I'm channeling my inner Beach Boy today! Well yesterday I was as 95% of this LO was completed last night. Had a great time last week spending a few days at the beach with my family. I got so many great pics of all the kids and my sisters...that instantly I was mentally creating page titles in my head. This page has had many titles, but I settled on catch a wave. The upper corner looks a little skewed, but that's because the top half was painted with a bit of whitewash...and try as I might...I couldn't get it to flatten out as it was drying...oh well...it's in an album now and laying nicely! This LO is based on Sketch 146 over at Pencil Lines. I seriously love their sketches...and what a talented DT they have over there! If you are at a loss...hit them up for inspiration!
