Gretel Box

This is a great idea for gift giving-a box set of cards! This box will fit four cards plus matching envelopes. I've made a couple of these for my larger scraps that I have piled on my craft table-easy access!

This is the top view-I used pop-up dots on the image to make it stand out.

Here's a close up of Gretel-I stickled the wings to give it some shimmer. The background I stenciled chalk for a pop of color.

paper-pp(wild asparagus)

Bewitched

I know it's alittle early for Halloween, but I had to make a card using this cute witch. All the stamps that I've used here are from All That Scraps. I used pop up dots to give the pumpkins the 3-D effect. This is my first card using copics markers!! I was pretty intimidated since it's my first time...but I had so much fun! I chalked the background to make it look like night time.

details:
paper-pp(Making Memories), cs(Bazzill)
embellies-brads(Lasting Impression)

This is my first 2 Sketches 4 You challenge and I gotta say...it's been super fun!! A little piece about my card-this is a stamp I just got and thought it would be super cute to make. I personally love bubble baths so when I saw the stamp, I had to get it! ♥

Details: to give the image the 3-D effect, I taped the bubbles with foam tape. I colored the bubbles with mica powder (pearl green) to give it some shimmer.

Mojo Monday Week 86

For this week's challenge, I wanted to show off my favorite accessory-shoes! The weather's getting warmer in Southern Cali. So I'm thrilled to dust off my shoe boxes and bring out my fun, sexy heels for the summer. So here's to all you ladies and your sexy summer shoes!!

Details: I filled the punched pumps with Black Diamond Stickles and some more stickles to the tops of the stamped shoes for some added sparkle. For the corners of the small scalloped frames, I used Liquid Pearl(Platinum)

Our Family

Here's the scrapbook page I did for my mom as a Mother's Day gift. This family picture was taken on Easter at my parents' church. It's one of the few pictures we have where we're all together and smiling! Well, most of us are smiling. Ü

The stitched paper is from Prima and I absolutely love it! There's so much detail already, you don't need too much embellishments. I didn't want to overload the layout with lots of flowers, just a couple in the corners was enough to bring it all together.
