Anniversary Projects

I loved making this layout and card in celebration of our wedding anniversary we just celebrated.  This picture was on my craft table for a while and I couldn't figure out what to do with it. Then after some days of sitting and also watching the "Seeing Double" challenge over at Two Peas, inspiration hit me.
 
Our wedding colors were red and silver so I used the various embellishments to tie it all together. I created the flowers with my Spellbinder dies and some leftover Christmas paper from Anna Griffin. Doesn't it look like the picture is on a bed of red roses? Just love how it turned out.
 
Also, I added the satin silver ribbon, the bling swirls and dots and the black glitter stickers for 7th yr.  For the title label, I stamped and heat embossed.
 
 
 
 




On the card, I used the same elements and rounded the corners. The inside paper housed my heart felt sentiments and a the same picture in red.
 
 

I made the frame with two Spellbinder dies.

 
 
 
On my next blog post, I will share some pictures from our anniversary weekend. So stay tuned!

My Birthday Blog Party

Welcome to my Birthday Blog Party! I am starting my celebration early to fully enjoy my day. My actual birthday is May 29th but why not start early right? :) When I think of birthdays past, they were always such exciting times for me. Many of my birthdays were celebrated with fun parties from my childhood to my young adult years. I loved all of those special parties and to this day, I still love it. Maybe this is where my love for event planning all started. At my 3rd birthday, my parents gave me a big one. I don't really remember but the pictures are so cool. I had lots of kids there, a clown, a little merry-go-round ride and lots of games. I had a white little outfit on and was looking so cute for a Spring party. Boy, I looked so happy! Also, I was brave not to be afraid of the clown, too. My mom was holding me as I blew the candles out. Another year, I had my first slumber party. That was so fun! I invited several friends and ...

Vintage Layout

I wanted to share this layout with you all. I recently submitted a design team application and I had to make a layout. I haven't made a layout in years so it was a nice challenge. I enjoyed making the first one so much I wanted to try another one. This one is dedicated to my sweet grandmother, Thelma Cobbs. This was her college picture back in the 1930's. I just love this picture of her, the sepia tone color and the style is so classic.  Her style has influenced my artistic approach.  I loved all her lace handkerchiefs, hats, gloves, purses and jewel. So I have taken a lot of her traditional, glamours style and use it on my cards and now layouts.  I know she would be so proud to see her fashion sense in my work. Maybe it is my way of keeping her alive and close to me.  Love and miss you Nana! Supplies used are: Webster's Pages patterned paper, Scenic Route rub-on words, Prima flowers, leaves from Michael's, form adhesive on the lady images, cream ribbon and white...
