Entry for Core'dination's Online Crop Challenge #4- Card stock only

Good Morning,

The sun is up and I am working away at my craft table. This morning I finished up my entry for Debbie's Card stock only challenge (#4). Here is a final picture of the layout I created.

The only thing not core'dination paper is the photo and the brads in the center of the flowers.

I cut the Lady and gentleman kissing from the Victorian Romance Cricut cartridge then sanded them for a softer look.

The photo was taken in September of 2011. Jerad, my boyfriend, flew out to New Hampshire from Washington (the state) to be with me. We went to high school together and were great friends. It took a few years, but he told me how much he cared for me. So here we are almost a year later and still together. I really feel loved. I thank the powers that be for letting this relationship have a chance to bloom.

My Entry for the Scrap the Music Challenge #191

Hey Everyone,

Below is a picture of my layout using lyrics from "That Man" by Carlo Emerald for the 191st Scrap the Music blog challenge. I hope you like it.

I used the lyrics "Ooh, that man I wanna kiss
                          My only sin is I can't win
                          Ooh I wanna love that man."

I used Copic Ciao markers to color in the kisses I stamped and use foam tape to place them around the page.

Classes at Stampin' Memories in Belmont NH

Good Afternoon Everyone,

Back in November 2011, I began teaching classes at Stampin' Memories in Belmont NH. This has been a great experience for me. I love sharing my ideas and techniques with others. Below are pictures from the Valentine Joy Fold Card class on January 14th.

I made these cards using Rose Inka-gold from Viva. This is a newer product and I love it! It gave the chipboard hearts from Bazzill a metallic finish. What was even better was that I could stamp on it! Inka-gold is a  paste. I used q-tips to apply it to the chipboard. This created textured swirls. The paste drys quickly and doesn't transfer once dry.

The paper is from Graphic 45's Le Romantique Collection.
