Anna Griffin on HSN 11/14

I just wanted to share a few of my layouts that were shown on yesterday's HSN show with Anna Griffin. She has some awesome new products, some are still available on HSN, if you are interested just check the website!

I'll start of with a couple of pages done with the Classic Christmas Cardstock collection! These papers are so pretty, and there are so many patterns!!!! All have matching embellishments available also.

These are from the All Occassion 3D Garland Sentiment set.

This one is from the Christmas Garland Sentiment stickers.

This one was done with the Stamp Storage Binder with 30 Stamps.

The next couple are  with the Border Stickers!

And last, one with one of the gorgeous embossing folders.

Oh, almost last, lol, this is one more with the Christmas paper and stickers!

For more inspiration you can check Anna's Pinterest boards, visit the HSN website or Anna's blog!!! Thanks so much for stopping by, I really appreciate it!!!!

My First Tresors de Luxe post!!!

Today is my very first post with Tresors de Luxe and I am so excited to be a part of this team! They have the most lucious laces, trims and embellishments!

I chose to do a layout of our sweet Kinsey Grace! I used two different laces on this, a beautiful pink venice and a smaller ivory floral. I used these along the borders of the pink patterned paper.

Here you can see the detail of the ivory.

Here you see one of the cute little pink sprays with pearl accents!

The blooms are paper, but I cut the beautiful pink leaves from the Dusty Rose cluster and used them for embellishments. they look gorgeous against the beautiful pink lace!!!

Another peek of the cute little spray!

Below are the materials that I used:

Ivory Venice Embroidered Floral Lace Trim LA-083

Dusty Rose Fabric Flower Spray w/white pearls PF-029

 

Pink Venice Lace LA-171

Pink Fabric Flower Spray w/white Pearls PF-041

I hope you enjoyed my first project, I certainly enjoyed creating it. There are so many gorgeous choices in this shop, it's really hard to choose, but I know that whatever your need you will find something that you just love!!!

Thanks for stopping by!

Once Upon A Sketch

I really have missed Once Upon A Sketch, so I thought I would try to play along with this months challenge. The sketch is beautiful and the journaling theme is "journey". I thought it would be perfect to scrap Jenna's maternity pics! If you haven't played along at OnceUponASketch, you really should, the inspiration is amazing and there are some AWESOME prizes!

Here is the sketch for this challenge:

Now here is my entry:

I used the Kaleidoscope template and ramdomly chalked some white around the elements. I inked the edges of the yellow paper with blue chalk ink and added a liquid pearl accents. The little balloon is Imaginarium Designs. I embossed it and added little pearl accents as well, then added a star sticker and twine.

I took one of the Fancy Pants buttons and added a miniature rose and twine!

Just a few more close-ups.

I made a little flower cluster with Prima "Got Flowers" and some Imaginarium leaves. I tied a little twine bow to finish it off.

I added foam dots for dimension behind the middle photo. The alpha stickers were white, so I used black alcohol ink on them.

Decadence WOW Style!!!

The theme for last month was "decadence" but I missed it, so I'm using my project for this month's post! I wasn't quite sure how to interpret this theme but when I hear the word decadence I think of "over indulgence". But looking up the actual meaning it has to do with the decline of morality also. So this is just my personal take!!!

There is a lot of embossing on this page! The frame and mat around the photo, the chippie dressform and corset, and even the lace! I used lots of "Desert Sands" on this page.

Here you can see the bottom of the photo frame, I used Primary Ebony Ultra High and Silver regular powder mixed. Then on the ornate chippie frame (Imaginarium Designs) I used Metallic Gold Rich Ultra High powder. The blooms are Prima.

Here you see Dressform (Imaginarium Designs). On this I used Desert Sands Gobi. And on the hanger part of it I just used more Metallic Gold Rich Regular.

Here you see the lace, which I covered with embossing ink and then sprinked with the Desert Sands Sahara powder, it's so pretty! And then on the corset (Imaginarium Designs) more of the Sahara powder.

Here you see a little more detail of the lace. It really worked well, and it's so sparkly and pretty!!!

This page was a lot of fun, choosing embellishments and making it kind of loaded up!!! I hope you don't mind that it's a month late for the theme, lol!!! Thanks for stopping by and I hope you liked the layout!

Craft-Dee Bowz Halloween Cards!!!

Hi, it's Patti and I have a coupe ofHalloween cards to share with you today! Donna gave us some gorgeous ribbon this month, and we also got some super cute little stickers and a great spider web die!!! I wanted to do a layout, but I don't have many Halloween pictures and I have scrapped what I do have multiple times, lol! Anyway, here is the first card:

I made a big double loop bow with my Craft-Dee Bowz tool, this made such a pretty bow with the wide sheer ribbon. I did a three loop black one with the smaller ribbon on a smaller size as well.

You can see I added liquid pearl to the diecut frame and then placed my title sticker on that.

I used the cute little spider web die with some silver foil paper and put one in each corner of the card. I placed the larger bow on top left and then the smaller on bottom right!

 Here's the second! Purple cardstock back and orange Kromekote embossed center. The sentiment is Anna Griffin. The pattern paper as well. I added the sticker to the bow!!!

These were really simple cards to make, but I think it gives a dramatic look! I had a lot of fun making this one! Please check back to see what else the Design Team has done with these super fun supplies!!!

Thanks!
Patti

Breast Cancer Awareness With Moxxie!!!

My project for "Fighting Back" is a layout that I did with a picture of our daughter at her office. They all wore pink, even the men doctors! So I thought this was perfect for this week!

I was so excited that I got to use the "real men wear pink" rub-on from this collection. I made little banners for the sentiments.

I made a little flag banner for the title "hope". I cut out the letters from one of the stickers and then cut out the little bra! I added some bling of course! I used some twine for the little rope.

I used some gorgeous lace and trim from Green Tara for a little frill. I also used pop dots underneath the photo that I matted with white cardstock.

Here you see some of the close-up work on the little banners with the sentiments.

Thanks so much for joining us today, and please remember, early detection really does save lives, so please remember your annual check-ups.
