Celebrate White on White

Hi Angels!

I hope you are enjoying your weekend.

We headed off for a weekend getaway & I brought a wee bit of art supplies. More specifically some items from the infamous Bits & Pieces box.

I was messing around with some extra die cuts & decided to throw them in a bag with a card base, a pack of bling & I grabbed some scrap holographic paper & die cut a couple quick sentiments to choose from. A little bit of creative fun while relaxing.

Thanks for stopping by.

Blessings!

Smile – Scrap Attack

Hi Angels!

I’m playing with a few projects that aren’t complete yet so grabbed some Bits & Pieces & scraps for this Scrap Attack card.

The background scrap is an old piece of paintable wallpaper I created eons ago and I took the negative cutout from the smile & added a scrap of watercolor background to the back to make the focal image. A few more of the new Pinkfresh Studio Ombre Glitter Drops & card created in about 5 minutes.

Thanks for popping in.

Blessings!

Beautiful – Scrap Attack Card

Hi Angels!

I hope you’ve enjoyed a blessed Sunday.

I’m in the middle of designing and after I stopped tonight, I started looking at what I had out on my work surfaces that would make a quick card and created this:

This is literally some leftover scraps & die pieces from other projects that didn’t make the cut along with some extra flowers from my recent flower cards. It took maybe 15 minutes to pull together & that was mainly because I was deciding on the flowers & the 3rd mat layer. Now I have a pretty card for my stash to brighten someone’s day.

I hope you have a great week ahead.

Thanks for stopping by.

Blessings!

Journal Tags

Hi Angels!

I hope your Saturday has been great!

For the past couple of days I have been playing with an old ATC kit I purchased many years back. The cards came pre-stamped with birds & pre-embossed with a brick embossing texture plus some bits & pieces. I used some of the bits & pieces, added in a few from my stash & created these tags for a journal:

The ATC cards were white so I added color to 3 of them with Distress Ink, then just played with adding some bits to the cards. The final card, I took the sentiment strip from another ATC kit I found to work on since I didn’t think the word “bliss” worked with the crowned bird. As I find the time, I will work on the 2nd kit I found in my stash.

Thanks for popping in.

Blessings!

Fabulous Darling

Hi Angels!

I hope your weekend is off to a great start!

I spent some time playing in the studio this evening on a couple of projects and brought out my collage box along with the Bits & Pieces to create this tag. It will be a great addition to a journal.

The stamped image came out of the Bits & Pieces box, the handmade background paper, sayings & fibers out of the collage box.

Thanks for stopping by.

Just Because Butterflies

Hi Angels!

It’s another quick card from the infamous Bits & Pieces box. I did complete 2 other cards today & did a mock-up for a technique but I’ll be sharing those later.

Another background pulled from my stash. This one was part of a background technique swap many years ago.

Everything but the cardbase and sequins came from the scraps or the Bits & Pieces box. I just die cut the background & mat with Gina K. Designs Master Layouts 2 die set & fussy cut the stamped sentiment I found in the Bits & Pieces. The background wasn’t labeled but looks like a batik resist type of technique, very pretty.

Thanks for stopping by.

Blessings!

Sunset Flowers

Hi Angels!

I made a dent in some more organizing & purging today and got a card design laid out for a couple of cards.

Since I didn’t create a lot today, I dove into the infamous Bits & Pieces box & came up with an extra blended background from a previous project and created this card.

I love how it turned out. I used Gina K. Designs Natural and Summer Silhouette stamp sets. A little bit of stamping and instant card.

Thanks for popping in.

Blessings!

Love Hearts

Hi Angels!

As usual on Mondays I don’t get as much time to create as I want to but I really like getting the majority of the house cleaning done in one day.

Tonight’s card features a product I hadn’t used yet with some of the infamous Bits & Pieces stash. I love a good pink & black color combo.

The new item was Vicki Boutin’s Heart Stencil from the Sweet Rush collection that came in one of my SCT Samplers last year. I did an ombre ink blend with Spun Sugar, Kitsch Flamingo & Picked Raspberry Distress Oxides. Checked to see what hearts I had in my Bits & Pieces box and added a stacked die cut sentiment from My Favorite Things called Loopy Love. Quick & easy design.

It was a freezing, sleet filled day here today. Thankful I can arrange my schedule to stay snug at home.

Have a great week!

Blessings!

Anniversary Love

Hi Friends!

I spent yesterday doing some more organizing & sorting. Because I changed the location of a few items, I now have a really big sort & straighten project going on plus slimming down a bit. I see a couple of weeks ahead of hard work.

In between organizing I have started 2 mini albums and grabbed some items from the infamous Bits & Pieces box for tonight’s card.

I pulled a scrap of pink out for the mat and stamped it with My Favorite Things Romantic Script. Pulled a few sentiments out of my Taylored Expressions Simple Strips Background stash and used the die cuts from the Bits & Pieces to finish the card.

I hope you have a fabulous week! Don’t forget to check on your neighbors if you are experiencing a bit of winter weather.

Blessings!

Peace Dove

Hi Angels!

I hope your weekend has been wonderful!

I got a lot done today, preparing for my cataract surgery Tuesday including getting my art projects in order so they are easier to grab & work on.

Since I was so busy, I grabbed this dove image out of the infamous Bits & Pieces box and created this card.

After fussy cutting out the dove, I added a silver background embossed with Simon Says Stamp Snowflake Oval and die cut Peace out of white glitter paper using Sweet ‘n Sassy Stamps Peace & Joy Word dies. I had a few stars in the Bits & Pieces so I added one to the background.

I hope you have a fabulous first week of December! Do you have any traditions you are looking forward to this year? Drop a comment sharing that tradition.
