Somewhere in Time with Colorful Creations!

Hello everyone!!! It's that time of the month for a brand new sketch up over at Colorful Creations!!!

Here's a look at the mid-month sketch:

I used a whole slew of goodies from previous Frosted Designs Kits to come up with this masculine page:

This picture of my husband was taken from our balcony aboard a cruise ship on our honeymoon! It's one of my favs of him :-)

I started with some papers from the "Enchanted kit" and added a large circle die-cut which was misted and inked. I grabbed the wooden ATC card by Prima from the "Capture the Moment" kit and misted it with Lindy's Stamp Gang Starburst pearls, inked the edges with distress ink, then added black splatters using Dylusions spray!

I'm a HUGE fan of Creative Embellishments chipboard for a number of reasons:

The styles they offer, the "alterability" of the chipboard without losing it's shape, and the overall look it adds to ANY project! So I grabbed some gears and my title (both from CE) and started to work on them! I used "white picket fence" Dylusions spray to give them a white coat, then added various LSG mists for a distressed look. I finished them off with a dab of crackle paint for texture :-)

I even added some to the clock that was printed on Prima paper, then fussy cut and added behind my photo!

Here's a look at the title using the same techniques!

The page looked quite simple to me so I added additional gears and sprockets, using brads from the "Capture the Moment" kit to hold them down, and Tim Holtz rub-ons from the Enchanted kit in various circles!

No page is complete without flowers so I threw on some flowers by Prima and Recollections to finish it off!

Well gang... Thanks so much for stopping in and have a LUCKY day :-)

Mid Month Challenge at Color Me Scrappy and Colorful Creations!!!

Hi there everyone!!! I told you it was going to be a busy month for me!!!! As you can see by my posts (with many more to come!) that I was not exaggerating!!! Hahahaha!!!!!

I have a couple of things to share with you today:

We have a brand new color combo challenge posted at Color Me Scrappy!

I am very happy with this color combo!!! I love the beautiful hues :-) We had to combine these colors with something "summer" related so I decided to scrap a photo of my oldest daughter taken at our local aquarium a few years back!

Today is also a brand new sketch challenge over at Colorful Creations!

Here is a look at the sketch:

Oh, I just love this sketch!!! And here is my page:

Yes, I know you are so sick of this collection but I just can't help myself!!! Every time I take it back out, I just keep playing with it! And there's still some left over!! Hahahaha!!!
I started my page by creating a sunburst mask with some chipboard and my craft knife! I laid it on a white piece of cardstock, then colored in the open areas with a yellow and gold gelato. I dipped a paint brush in some water to blend the colors!

Then, I layered up some other papers from the collection, and a piece of Kraft Core cardstock by Coordinations (seriously, my fav!!!). I fussy cut some elements from the collection and added them around the page as well as the letter stickers for my title and sub-title!

I finished the page with some beautiful chipboard from Creative Embellishments (that was treated with gesso and snow cone gelato) and various flowers!

Well gang... Thanks so much for stopping in and have a LUCKY day :-)

Mid Month Sketch at Colorful Creations with Prima's Time Traveler Collection!!!

Hello all!!! It has been a bit crazy around here the past few weeks but I am hoping to get back in the swing of things soon!

It's officially mid-month which means another sketch over at Colorful Creations!!

Here's a look at the sketch:

I decided to combine this week with this month's mood board at Scrap Around The World!

Isn't it fabulous?!? I've been wanting to do a page with these colors for some time so this was the perfect opportunity to do so!!!

I was inspired not only by the colors, but by the flowers, the texture of the paved road, and also those round, yellow bicycle wheels!!! I just had to add my circular chipboard piece from Creative Embellishments to represent the wheels on the bike!

Any who... Here's my page:

I really like these colors together... They are perfect for a masculine page!

As you can see, I used papers from the "Capture the Moment" June kit from Frosted Designs! This kit features papers and embellies from Prima's "Time Traveler" collection as well as goodies from Ranger, Maya Road, and other major manufacturers!!! I've said it a hundred times before but these kits are so wonderful and versatile... You can make girly pages, masculine pages, off the page projects and so much more!!!

So any who... Back to the layout!! Hahaha!!! I started the page with one of the Time Travelers papers as my background, then added white Bazzil cardstock on top so that I could "build the page" myself! I used various Tim Holtz layering stencils, along with inks, mists, gelatos, and molding paste to add some texture and depth to my background.

I grabbed a couple of stamps and my Faber Castell big brush pen to create more depth and add designs to the paper!

I've been wanting to use this circular chipboard piece for some time and knew I just had to add it on this page!!! I coated it with gesso, then added yellow and black gelatos randomly to achieve my desired color. I sprayed some Lindy's Glitz Spritz for some shine, then topped it off with liquid pearls and enamel accents!

I added various embellishments, most coated with some form of inks or sprays to match my layout, including wood veneers and chipboard arrows by Heidi Swapp.

I finished my page with a title from Creative Embellishments that was given the same treatment as the other main piece!

I'm glad I gave this color combo a whirl, I am truly happy with the end result!!!

Well gang... Thanks so much for stopping in and have a LUCKY day :-)

CMS Challenge #63 with Heidi Swapp "Dreamy" Collection!!!

Hello there crafters!!! Just popping in to share a layout I created for my very first DT reveal with Color Me Scrappy!!!

Here is the color combo for this challenge:

Isn't it lovely?!? The papers from the May "Simple Sweet" Kit from Frosted Designs happened to be perfect for this challenge! I also used the June 1st sketch over at Colorful Creations:

And here is my page:

This pics were taken at a local park earlier this year. My youngest daughter is a DIVA and a "little miss know it all"!!! Although you can't see her, my oldest daughter is on the other side of that finger!!! Hahahaha!!!!

I started the page by adding some gesso to the background and coloring various Gelatos on top. I blended with my finger, then used the Tim Holtz "Lattice" layering stencil and some molding paste mixed with gelato for some texture!

I tore up some strips of the Heidi Swapp paper and inked the edges using Prima's "Knotted Wood" ink.

I love these wooden veneers that almost all the companies have come out with!!! They are so fun to play with and go with any style of page! I added some liquid pearls around this one for added detail :-)

I decided to do a small cluster on the side of the page with various flowers and another wood veneer!

The butterflies were created using a punch and liquid pearls!

I finished my page with coordinating glittered Thickers from my stash!

There you have it!!! My first project for CMS!!! Be sure to stop by the blog and leave some love for all the fabulous designers there!!!

Well gang... Thanks so much for stopping in and have a LUCKY day :-)

New Sketch at Colorful Creations and 7 Dots Studio Illumination!!!

Well hello there my crafty neighbors!!! I'm on the blog today to share with you a brand new sketch challenge for Colorful Creations!!!

"Just Let Go" with 7 Dots Studio "Illumination" Collection

It's mid month and time for another fabulous sketch at Colorful Creations!!! I absolutely LOVED working this sketch, and had a blast playing with this new collection!!!

So, any who... Here is this week's sketch:

This is also my very first challenge over at Scrap Around The World! I've followed their blog and Facebook page for quite some time, and am always in awe over the VERY talented design team and member entries!!! I know my work doesn't even come close to the beautiful art on their site, but I decided to "just let go" and give it a shot anyway!!!

Here is the SATW Mood Board for April:

Isn't it fabulous?!? LOVE IT!!!!

And here is my page:

This is one of my favorite photos of me and my husband!!! It was taken aboard a dinner cruise shortly before our actual cruise to the Bahamas!

I started with one of the papers from the "Illumination" collection and went to work creating my background!

I added a some gesso to the center of the page, then added various Gelatos atop of it, spreading them around with my fingers and a bit of water. I used White Dylusions mist to create the spatters at the top left and bottom right, and a black stamp marker with the circle template to create circles across the page.

After I was satisfied with my background, I started layering on my papers, stickers, and various embellishments. I was inspired by the beautiful butterflies in the mood board so I added some from the "Beauty of Nature" April kit at Frosted Designs! I used my Lindy's Magicals to add some color and shine to both of them!

For the chipboard one, I used "Whale Watch Blue"...

And for the metal one, I applied some gesso first, then the "Cape Cod Coral" magical:

I used my "Victorian Velvet" distress ink to color the coordinating chipboard pieces from the collection, then added Lindy's Stamp Gang "Glitz Spritz" for added color and shine!

I finished the page with some circles created with more liquid pearls, a ton of flowers, and distress glitter!

Well gang... Thanks so much for stopping in and have a LUCKY day :-)

Colorful Creations New Sketch Challenge!!!

Hello all and Happy April!!! Spring has finally arrived and the weather here is absolutely beautiful today (better than all the rain from last week!)!!!

I'm here today with a new sketch from Colorful Creations!!! Here's the sketch:

I've been working on a Vacation Album for my father and Step Mother so you'll be seeing quite a bit of these pics!!!

Any who... Here's the layout:

This picture was taken at the local Car Museum in Grand Cayman!!!

I chose to use the Heidi Swapp Travel Themed paper pad to make this album, although I will likely run out of papers after finishing less than half of it!!! I tried to keep this page pretty simple, using die-cuts and fussy-cut items from the paper itself!

I used a stencil and some dark blue Luminarte Silks acrylic glaze as well as a chevron stencil by DCWV to add some detail to the background.

I also used the paint to color the tiny wooden stars and camera by Studio Calico! I finished the page with a couple of handmade rosettes and an "adventure" stamp from Hedi Swapp!!

Well gang... Thanks so much for stopping in and have a LUCKY day :-)

Colorful Creations "Spring Fling" Blog Hop!!!!

Welcome to the Colorful Creations Spring Fling Crop! I don’t know about you but the ladies here at CC are ready for some sunshine... how about you????

To help us get ready to usher Spring in, we decided to have a "Spring" themed Blog Hop... so all the projects you find along the hop will be themed around Spring!!! Make sure you visit each DT member’s blog!

You should have come from Toccara‘s blog, if not, please go back to the Colorful Creations blog to start the hop from the beginning.

Since this is a "Spring" Blog Hop, I decided to do a little "Spring Cleaning" and make a little organization piece with "Spring" colors:

Here is a set of altered drawers:

Aren't they adorable?!? I truly love the finished product here!!!

I started with a plain white storage piece from Michaels, and painted it with a Tim Holtz Dauber and Luminarte Silks Acrylic Glaze (Both from my March Kit at Frosted Designs!) for some shimmer!

I used mod podge to adhere the papers from the March kit at Frosted Designs to the inside and outside of the box and drawers!

I used trim from the kit and dyed it using the Pink Tim Holtz Distress Dauber. I attached it down the center of each drawer and then added a brad directly in the center as my drawer pull.

I took the Fabscraps chipboard from the kit and clear embossed it with the tiny Prima Stamp clock and Versamark ink. Then I added Lindy's Stamp Gang Mist over it for the desired color!

Once I finished and everything was dry, I added all my favorite "small mediums" to the recess in the top for easy access!!!

Here are some other "Spring Cleaning" projects I made with foam board from a previous post here!!!

So, for my hop challenge, I would like you to create ANY TYPE of ALTERED OR OFF THE PAGE PROJECT using the following color combo:
