Summer=Watermelon

Hey Everyone!

Here in New Hampshire the temperature is in the mid to high 90's. Urgh! However it's nothing compared to what the people living out west are facing; high temps and wild fires. Hope you get rain and cooler temperatures soon.

With all this hot weather, I crave watermelon. It's sweet, light pink, juicy, refreshment. Above is a two page scrapbooking layout focusing on this wonderful summer treat. The paper is from the 2012 DCWV Spring and Summer Stack. Die cuts are cut on the Cricut Imagine from the Preserves cartridge.

I hope you enjoy this video and stay cool!

Coloring Pumpkins with Copic Markers

Good Morning Everyone!

I know it's been a long time since the last time I posted. So many things have been happening. However, I'm very excited to share this video with you. I love Halloween! It's the one day of the year that children can dress up and be anything they want to be. I also love the colors of the season. The reds, oranges, yellow and browns....so beautiful.

This video show cases my love of Fall. I used Copic markers to color in the pumpkins. The colors I chose and how I blended them helped create a vintage look. Once the new Happy Hauntings Graphic 45 paper comes in at Stamping Memories in Belmont NH; this will look perfect on it.

Spring Layout

Good Morning,

It's beautiful and sunny here in New Hampshire. I'm hanging out at Stamping Memories in Belmont New Hampshire till 6pm. I love exploring all their new items. There are some gorgeous fairy stamps from StampWorkz. I want them all. :) I'll post some pictures of the new items this week.

Here is a new video that I uploaded this week.

This is a really simple 2 page layout using papers from the 2012 DCWV Spring and Summer Stack, Bazzil card stock, ribbon, Inka gold in Rose, Stickles, 3D flower from K&Company and a jewelry accent.  I hope you enjoy the video and please leave a comment or suggestion for techniques you would like to see in future videos.

Thanks,
