SU Stars Spring Blog Hop!

Welcome to the SU Stars Spring Blog Hop! I am very excited to participate in this event with such a wonderful group of talented ladies. If you have just arrived from Shelly Peck's page, then you are right on track. I have two projects to share with you today.

The first is a tote! I created this project using the Designer Series Paper in the Sale-a-bration catalog as well as some of the in-color card stocks. The tote has been embellished with embossing, a couple of brads, and a little distressing.

My second project is a scrapbook page featuring my handsome nephew. I created this one page layout using the scrapbooking kit, the Country Club Simply Scrappin' kit, the Notably Ornate Stamp, and a couple of Antique brads. The first photo is of the entire layout.

This photo shows a bit of the stamping detail:

This last photo is of the journaling:

SU Stars Holiday Hoopla Blog Hop

Good morning ladies,

If you just came from Denise Foor's blog, www.denisefoor.blogspot.com you are in the right place.

It has been a long time since I have participated in a blog hop and I am very excited! I created two projects for you today. The first is a reindeer treat box which I made using the Holiday Bigz L Die from the Holiday Mini Catalog. This project came together pretty quicky once I figured out all the dimensions. There is a box tucked in the center, between both reindeers, which can be used to put a small bag of treats or simply fill it with candy.

My second project is a center step stair card which I created using the Frostwood Lodge desginer series paper as well as the Bright Hopes stamp set. As you can see, I embossed the tree with silver embossing powder to make it a little snazzy.

I hope you enjoyed my projects! Next stop would be Shelly Peck. Please click HERE
to see her fabulous projects!

Thanks for stopping by and have a fabulous day.

Fall Gratitude Diamond Album

Hi,

I created this album for Madeline Morcelo's Inkspirations4U website. I am blessed that she has trusted me to be one of the designers for her site. She has an amazing group of talented ladies. This album was inspired by my best friend. She is such an amazing and wonderful person. I am so lucky to have her in my life. Thanks for looking!

Have a great day!

Blue Sunflowers

Good evening Ladies,

It has been a long time since I have posted anything. I created this card a while back eager to try this new technique. To color the flowers, stamp the image with a neutral ink and then color the image using watercolor pencils. I layered the color until I achieved the desired intensity as well as a smooth finish. Thanks for stopping by!

Have a great day,

Angie

Origami Album

Good evening ladies,

I have been out of the loop for some time. This evening I am sharing an origami album I created a while back. It is very easy to make, although it looks a bit complicated in the photographs!!!

This is a view of the front cover:

This is how the album looks open:

And this final one is a view from above:

I hope you have enjoyed this project! These little albums are very easy to make and are great for gifts! Don't hesitate to e-mail me if you have any question. Thanks for stopping by.

Have a fabulous day,

ROYAL BLOG TOUR 2010!!!!

Welcome to the Royal Blog Tour! My first project is a lovely flower cart.  I used a combination of Marina Mist and Bashful Blue cardstock to create the cart.  If you look closely, the bashful blue has been created to look like peeling paint.  I then used floral foam covered in Old Olive to place in the center of the cart so it could hold the flowers in place.  Speaking of flowers, these are from the Eastern Blooms stamp set and have been stamped with Cajun Craze ink onto a piece of Whisper White cardstock. I used painted skewers for the stems and for the umbrella.  Notice the antique brads on the cart wheels. 



My second project is a two page layout.  I used the same color scheme for this project that I used for the flower cart. The layout consists of two 12 x 12 pages which have been embellished with cut flowers, pearls, embossed silver photo corners and ink. If you look closely at the light blue, you will see that I used the peeled paint technique, as I wanted to give the paper the look of old wood.  All the flowers on the layout are cut individually.  I also made some silver photo corners which I stamped with the large flower from the Eastern Blooms stamp set.

This is a close up of the peeling wood technique.

Thank you so much for joining me today! I hope you enjoy the rest of the tour as you view the amazing projects submitted by all the very talented ladies who are also participating in this edition of the Royal Blog Tour.

Have a fabulous day!
