New Layout called LOVE

Hi there,

Today I'm adding a new layout of my daughter when she was just a year old.   She will be 26 next month.   Can't believe how time has gone so fast.    On this layout I experimented with a new technique  for me, using a textured Gel from Liquitex I used a brick stencil to create this layout. As well I used ColorCore Cardstock and used high grit sand paper and exposed the peach core centre in some areas.  I really enjoyed it and hope to continue with it on other layouts.     I get my Dusty attic chipboard from Vicky. Check out her Etsy site. She's from Alberta so its so quick to get for me.
I hope you enjoy my newest layout.  I will add a material list below.

Hi there, I hope everyone had a great long weekend, for those that have this long weekend hoilday. Its been hot the last few days but boy the storms we've been having, tornados, baseball hail and rain thats covering vechiles that parked in basement parking lots, or underpasses..  Crazy!


I will also be putting it in Funtoolas's Flower and lace challenges.
This picture was taking by my son Kyle when he was trying to figure out my camera.  I was so impressed with his talent.  He loved to take nature pictures, so lots of pets, and animals and scenery photos.  This is just one of them.  List of material below

Aug 1st How Time Flies

Wow, amazing how one ages in a 11 years..  If only we could turn back time!  This is me... well this WAS me in 2001.    This is my first sewing on a layout  YAY!  I just bought a fancy sewing machine and this was my first attempt.. well other than the scrap paper just to see if it would even sew through paper  lol    I think I like it!  I sewed on the white lace too.. boy that was much easier than using the super sticky double sided tape or the glue dots continuous line glue.   (much cheaper too)

Challenges I will be adding this to For Aug 2012:   Scrap Friends color challenge 
Information on material used, listed below.


About this layout:
The main paper is from Kaisercraft - Lake House Collection and Doodlebug design cupcake serenade cardstock
Home made flower of course..  except the little roses
A couple homemade stick pins
Dusty Attic Border   Great place to order Dusty Attic is from  Vicky's etsy site. FAST, helpful, and from Canada.   Usually she brings in a whole HUGE stock but she must move like fire as they sell out fast.
Homemade fan using a good heavy cardstock, and I added a fine  lace on it   Although you can't tell but the lace does have some sparkle to it.  I used double sided tape down each side of the veins after I made the fan I added the lace.
Chalks Ink
One Clear Cuts Butterfly.. the other one is just a run of the mill regular lace butterfly
The Year label is from Teresa Collins - Timeless collection

THANKS for stopping in.   I hope you enjoyed my sewing layout.

My First Card

Can you believe it I made card, my first one! .  I did not create the design, but seen other versions of shirt cards on the net, but can't remember all the places I've run across them.   Anyway, this is my version of a shirt card..  What's more sexy than a man in a suit and tie!  I made this for my Dad.   Thanks for stopping by.

Christmas In July

This is alittle altered item I did for a Christmas challenge over at Flying Unicorns  The challenge was to use gold, white and snowflakes.    Of course I had to add some leave to the white flowers..and some fluffy feather.    Hope you like my christmas ornament.

THANKS FOR STOPPING BY...... Love to hear from anyone that takes the time to visit.   I sure appreciate your visit to my blog and for the awesome comments I have had.   Thanks so much.

Beautiful Sunset

Hi there,

Today I'm sharing a layout more for the photo than the layout.  My son who's really has a talent with the camera, snapped this shot while waiting in line to dock our boat.  The Sun was setting and casting this beautiful spray of colors cascading from the water.  The pictures that he took are breathtaking.   I have to say I have a harder time with nature or male layouts but I have to do it to get better at it... so this is the layout of Kyle's outstanding photograph.  It will have special meaning for him when this layout is placed in his album, and he remembers this calm beautiful summer evening.

Thanks for stopping by.   I will be putting this into http://birdisthewordchallenge.blogspot.ca/ for the challenge word of Beyond.

Mother & Daughter Layout

Hi there.

I hope everyone is enjoying their July.  Our weather has FINALLY gotten warm!  Ya.. about time, before long and winter will be here.. ugh.    My Layout, All the flowers are homemade of course,  I have two kinds of ribbon, one satin, one a knitted type lace, as well I did some personal journaling to my Mom.  
I'd love to hear back from anyone that stops by, please share your thoughts with me.
                                                                Thank you for the visit.

                                                                              Sherry

The little journalling tag is written to my mom and says :       

I love you Mom with all my Heart

taken June 07

Just a close up of the some of the flowers.  I just love how the camera picked up the sparkle in the leaves this time.  Usually that never shows up. 

I found this vintage heart at Magic MoonLight Free Images and I thought that this fit my design perfectly.  The print on the heart says You Inspire Me.  This is a perfect addition to my layout, even outlined in gold color! (one of the colors for Berry71bleu)

A True Beauty Layout

HI again,
Can you believe it I got another layout done! Of course the flowers are homemade, except the little pink roses.
This layout is a picture of Baylee, my son's girlfriend.  My mojo has kinda been hiding so I thought doing some layouts in my favorite color, Pink, would put a kick start to my scrapping.
Thanks for stopping in and taking a peek.  Stop in and say Hi while your here.  So nice to know I have visitors.

                           The main paper used is from Webster's Pages -  Your Life.  Beautiful
                           The second layer is a green cardstock with a smooth shiny surface.
                           The third layer is pink and is from Teresa Collins  -  Timeless
                           The fourth layer is from K&Company  Seasonal Paper pad.

This beautiful crystal I've had over a year,  (actually have two of them) and I haven't be able to put them on anything that deserves it.  Its so gorgeous when the sun catches it, it casts a room full of rainbow colors.  The chipboard is a piece from one of my Dusty Attic chipboard.  I wanted small flourish to fit the floral border. If your looking for Dusty Attic consultant in Alberta check out http://www.etsy.com/shop/vickyalberto  FAST shipping and problem free shopping!  Thanks Vicky for  getting in those two pieces I've been wanting.  I love them especially the biggest one!

There is another piece of Dusty Attic I used for the butterfly tail.  It fit perfectly for this layout.

This is Martha Stewart borders.  I love the embossing done on these borders, it adds so much character. 

The butterflies on this layout is from K&CoMPANY - Tim Coffey  Grand Adhesions Dimensional Stickers.  They matched the paper so well. I just love it when a layout seem to fall together.   The two teeny butterflies are from K&Company as well - Serendipity

Thanks so much for stopping in and taking a peek. I hope you enjoyed my newest layout.

Sweet Memories

Hi there.   Most everyone knows I love flowers, growing, planting and even making with paper, so when Scrap That decided to have a homemade flower layout challenge, it was calling for me!   I haven't done to many layouts lately and kinda feel my mojo was lacking.   What better way to try and find some of that mojo, then working on a layout that you enjoy the most.    Anyway, this is my finished outcome for the challenge.    I hope you enjoy it. I've entered a chipboard challenge at berry71bleu Pages So check this blog out, there are tons of talented people there!!  Thanks for stopping by, make sure you drop a message and say Hi!

These cute little bird houses are from Petaloo and the hanging bling is from Jolee's called  All That Bling.   They are so cute,  I have to thank my daughter, as she bought them for me as well as a purple package.   She knows me well, my favorite colors!










These  paper flowers were cut out on my cricut, using SVG files.   The white ones are bachelor buttons.  I decided to go with straight what as I was trying to go with 3 prominent colors, black, white, pink (with the touch of green to draw your eyes to them)   The gorgeous lace I bought online through ebay.

I tried to make this layout with multiple levels, giving it more of a 3D look.   These butterflies are made from feathers and do need to be handles gently.   This is diffinetly a layout that must be in a shadow box, because if I squished it inside the plastic sleeves the butterflies will be ruined.
However, you see I added those to my last chipboard album, front cover, but I decided to experiment with them and I used Aleene's Fast Grab on them.   Using my finger, I lightly coated the backside of the wings, doing this a couple times after drying between coats.   This helped alot and stopped the feather from "cracking".  Now the chipboard cover is more durable for handling.



If you stopped by, I'd love to hear from you.  Its good to know that someone does stop by, as I don't want to feel like I'm just wasting my time.  Or that my blog is enjoyable to come visit.  I'd love to hear from you.
Thanks again,  Happy scrapping
Sherry

MY Mother has my heart

This was the gift I made for my mom.  Again.. first time making a heart box, and with lots of practice I got my roses looking really good... ooo I'm so happy.  I've been working on them for so long, just wanted them to look like a real rose.    Plus I enjoy making paper flowers, so I enjoyed every minute.   If you stop by please drop a note just to say hi, I'm thinking about deleting my blog as I don't think anyone ever visits so I kinda feel like I am wasting my time.   Would be nice to know that someone does come and visit.  Here are a few pictures of The opening heart rose box.

THANKS FOR STOPPING IN.   Would love to know if anyone comes by for a visit.. THX
