Gossamer Blue Little One

Here's to the weekend!  It's Friday and I am going to be a busy little bee doing lots of crafty stuff this weekend, mainly prepping material and working on DT assignments.  Believe me, it feels like the opposite of work when I'm doing my awesome job.

This little lovey is my girly...she made a tea party for us by the front door when she was about 18 months old.  Isn't she precious?  Sigh....... The Crate Paper house pattern paper in the September kits was the perfect backdrop to the photo.  I've been on an angle kick lately, just to change it up on my pages a little, and I've also been simplifying a bit; I'm still using layers and creating depth and all the things I love, but I'm trying to scale back just a bit so my pages have a little more of a clean feel to them.

I used the September Main Kit, Main Add-on and Life Pages Add-on #3.  Isn't that little bear head by Crate Paper so sweet?

Get Busy!

This is a really big deal.

I've been hard at work on a project that is so HUGE, so EXCITING and so FABULOUS it's been killing me to not speak a word about it!  Eeeeek!

But now I can.  The day is here my friends, and I can sing it from the mountain tops!

I'M TEACHING A CLASS AT GOSSAMER BLUE!  I chose four women who are so crazy-talented to contribute:  Emily Spahn, Heather Conklin, Monika Wright and Sabrina Alery, and believe me, your socks are about to be knocked straight off.

I hope you will enroll in my Delight in the Details class HERE.  Enrollment includes the class stamp set (while supplies last), a 4x6 set designed by the adorable and perfect Peppermint at One Little Bird.  

Preparing this class has been a labor of love, but ya know what?  I have loved every. single. second. Nicole has been amazing as the class coordinator for Gossamer Blue, cheering me on every step of the way.  So thrilled to have been given this opportunity from Lori and everyone involved with Gossamer Blue.

Enrollment is open and there is a separate class kit for sale HERE.  Can't wait to see you in the Gossamer Blue classroom!

AWDML Enjoy the Now

Happy Tuesday!  It's my day to post on the A Walk Down Memory Lane blog and I've got a nautical layout featuring October Afternoon's Treasure Map line.  I tossed a few Dear Lizzy buttons on the page for some details as well.  To see my process video, go HERE and watch on the AWDML blog.

Happy Crafting!

Gossamer Blue At Home

I am just starting to dabble in mixed media.  It's a brand new medium to me and one I am so excited for.  I used some gesso and Kuretake Gansai Tambi watercolors on this layout for Gossamer Blue featuring the September kits.

Aren't the chipboard birdies the most fun?

I liked the calendar page from Elle's Studio, but going down the left side of the paper were the words Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner.  That didn't jive with my layout about a typical evening at home, so that's when I decided to add the gesso with watercolor on top.

I used my heat gun to dry the gesso after I applied it with a palette knife, then dabbed watercolor over that, drying it a few times along the way.  I love the softness that watercolor brings to scrapbook pages.

The items for this page came from the Main Kit, Main Kit Add-on and Add-on #2.  September kits really flew off the shelves this month, so unfortunately those kits are sold out.  Go HERE to check out the September Life Pages kits, they are just as good as the scrapbook kits and several are still available.

Have a safe and happy Labor Day Weekend my U.S. friends :)

Gossamer Blue Celebrate

The September reveal was Tuesday and I hope you all grabbed your kits and are ready to create!  I made this page featuring Pinkfresh Studios items, along with a couple dashes of Crate Paper and Fancy Pants.

The colors in the September kits complemented the girly's 3rd birthday party perfectly.  I love all the tiny bits:  puffy stickers, glitter stickers and sequins!  I used Scrapbook Add-on #2 (sold out) and the Life Pages kit (still available HERE).

I've said it before and I'll say it again--these kits are just so HAPPY!

Makers gotta make :)

AWDML Big Title Big Impact

Hello and Happy September 1st!  It's Tuesday so I have a blog post HERE on the A Walk Down Memory Lane blog.  I used my Silhouette to create one big title for some big impact.  Click the link above to read the how-to.  Gotta love the colorful Bella Blvd Lucky Starz line when you're making a statement on your scrapbook page :)
