Cherry Blossom Fairy Card

Hello,
I was inspired by the fairy and the cherry blossom branch to make this card.   The little banners were created with washi tape that had the perfect pattern to finish the card.  I embossed the pink card base to add more depth to the layers.  Finally, no card is complete without an organza ribbon.  I love the sheerness and softness it adds to a project.

Hey Everyone,
I was delighted to be invited to participate as a Guest Designer over on the Lasting Memories Blog.

Confetti has rained down on my niece's 4 month birthday layout.   I created my confetti with Dew Drops which are dome shaped transparent gems. Their subtle hint of color and shiny acrylic like surface catches the light beautifully to uplift any layout or project.

Stained Glass Flower

It is very hard for me to do CAS as I am known as an over-embellisher among my crafting friends.  Knowing when to stop is critical.  This lone flower was rejected from another project as the colors didn't match well so it got to be the star of it's own show.  Serendipity!

Enjoy Today (Time is Ticking)

I fussy cut the three large clocks from 12x12" scrapbook paper.  Once I saw the paper with the roses on grey, I knew it would be a perfect match.  I love the scroll chipboard frame that my friend gifted me so I dug out some crackle paint and went to work.  Lots of doilies, scallops and feminine touches.

Tiny Mermaid Card

Hey There,
I must confess this is the first time I tried to use an embossing folder on glitter card stock and I'm so glad I tried it.  To really make the bubbles jump off the page, I added Glossy Accents over some of them.  I do love the effect.

Summer-Time Layout

I used numerous colors and various sizes of Dew Drops to create bubbly clusters and add a sense of movement to a fun Summer layout.  Come on over the Robin's Nest Blog to see the full tutorial.  HERE

TIP:  To avoid disappointment and frustration, place Dew Drops on the layout without adhesive to practice the arrangement.  When you are satisfied, adhere them replacing the loose Dew Drops one at a time.  Alternatively, take a photo of the layout before you move anything so that you can refer to it when you are ready to glue everything into place.
