fun stuff.

I combined the sketch challenge at Let's Get Sketchy + the squares challenge at The Studio.

I used the Pink Paislee Pick Me Up collection for this page. Instead of a diagonal patterned paper, I just used a washi strip to mimic the diagonal line from the sketch. This photographed crooked but the squares are lined up and straight in real life :) I still need to add my journaling to the ticket.

{Paper Wings Productions} Easter tags!

Hi friends! I'm sharing Easter tags on the Paper Wings Productions blog today using the Easter cling stamp set for both tags!

For my girlie Easter tag, I added some flowers from the Flower Power cling stamp set. I heat embossed the images onto my tag and then just used some misting + the packaging technique to add some color to the background.

With my boy Easter tag, I basically did the same thing. I used one of the bunny stamps and heat embossed him with brown embossing powder. I added the sentiment in blue embossing powder. Then I used some blue mist + the packaging technique for added color and texture to the background.

stamps: Paper Wings Productions (Flower Power; Easter)
embossing powder: Sparkle N Sprinkle (Cerulean EP421; Coffee EP459; Black detail EP171)

happiness.

I'm getting a last minute page done for the March Facebook crop that Sketch N Scrap is hosting. This is based on a sketch they provided.

The lighting is terrible today because it's been rainy and gloomy. These pictures were from our trip to Mexico  last month. Oh how I wish I could spend every day laying in the sun, listening to the ocean, having cold drinks hand delivered :)

 Thanks for looking!

Treasure Hunt.

I'm joining in the Scrappy Friends March challenge this month! We're combining Brenda's challenge + Rochelle's challenge.

I still need to add my journaling, but these pictures are from St Patrick's day this year. A local brewery had a treasure hunt around downtown and I was dying to do something fun for the holiday so I dragged my boyfriend and my mom along.

 This patterned paper is from 2013 - Who remembers Glitz Design Finnley collection?! I mixed it with my new Elle's Studio March kit and broke out the black mist. I think I have a new love - black splatters!

Thanks for looking!

date night.

Hey guys! Tonight I had a chance to play with Sketch 316 at Sketches in Thyme. I actually rotated this sketch so my design is based off this:

I'm putting together a scrapbook for my brother and his girlfriend for Christmas this year and this is one of the pages that will be in the album. I'm leaving little tags and spots on the pages for them to add journaling. Most of these pages are more simple than my normal style. For this  page, I spread some Faber-Castell gel medium to the background before adding my mixed media.

Here's my page:

Had a chance to play along with Stuck?! Sketches March 15 challenge this month! 

I used one photo and a large title + lots of embellishing with hearts and cute things. Everything is from Elle's Studio and my title is a free cut file I found at 17 Turtles.

Thanks for looking!

remember when.

I'm into the "vintage" photos lately and I saw Scrap the Girls has a Rosie the Riveter inspired moodboard and color challenge this month. This photo I pulled out is from the early 1960s of my great grandmother and my mom.

I pulled out a bunch of Elle's Studio goodies for this page. I love the look of bright colors with black and white photos. Thanks for looking!

just married.

Hi! Tonight I'm playing along with Sketches in Thyme #316 today. I shrunk this sketch down to 8.5x11 size and instead of two photos, I used a newspaper article. I'm doing a "vintage" page today from when my parents got married.

This is the Wedded Bliss collection from Echo Park from last year's release. Thanks for looking!

toes in the sand & a drink in my hand.

I love this cut file I found in the Silhouette store! I used the Bella Blvd Island Escape for this page, which I bought specifically to document our trip to Playa del Carmen last week :) I used Sketches in Thyme sketch 315 for this page.

These were honestly some of the best strawberry daiquiris I've ever had in my life! Thanks for looking! :)

I decided to use the large flower from the Flower Power stamp set with some chunky black embossing powder. This super thick embossing powder makes my flower look so shiny and dimensional.

I used two distress inks to create my watercolored background and I just applied them using the packaging technique. I chose two greens to go along with our spring theme :) Normally when I use embossing powder, I use a fine, small paint brush to brush away any extra bits of embossing powder. It gives the embossed image a finished, less messy look. However, since I was using this super thick embossing powder this time, I chose to let the stray bits of embossing powder stay and I kind of like the look they leave.

Here's a final look at my card:

[Paper Wings Productions] She took a leap...

Hi friends! Today I'm sharing a card I made with the Fairies stamp set. This little fairy is adorable and could be colored so many ways! I heat embossed her with gold and then used mostly pink Copics to color her. Then I fussy cut her and adhered her to my card base with foam adhesive.

My card base was made using the packaging technique and misting. I added some flicks of gold and pink shimmer mist too.

My sentiment was from the Brave Girls stamp set. I heat embossed it with the same fine gold detail embossing powder that I used my on fairy girl. Fairies seem like they need gold in their life - am I right?

embossing powder: Simon Says Stamp! (ultra fine gold)

mist: Heidi Swapp Color Shine (gold, pink, Primrose)

always + forever.

The color challenge at White With 1 this month is sizzling pink! I love pink :) There is also an optional sketch.

I chose to use the February cut file from Elle's Studio and back it with pink patterned papers.

This page took SO long to do, but I love this look and I used up a ton of my pink paper scraps.

Thanks for looking!

it's snow cold.

I used sketch 147 from Sketch N Scrap as the basis for this page. This sketch is minimalist and I've added a lot more embellishing. I also joined one of the February challenges at Paper Issues, Bigger is Better, and created a large title using a free cut file from Paper Issues.

I added my journaling with my typewriter used the packaging technique to add some pink mist to the corners. Then I made three little clusters with some purple die cuts + some snowflakes I cut from the same cut file.

explore 30.

A few weekends ago we drove to Ohio to spend the weekend with my brother for his birthday. He turned the big 3-0!

I pulled out my Pink Paislee Pick Me Up collection and I used a cut file from Paper Issues. Stuck?! Sketches as two sketches for their February 15 reveal - both of which were fabulous. I chose this one to base my page:

Who remembers Hambly?? Because this transparency at the bottom of my page is from my stash of Hambly. 

I was also inspired by the Scrap the Boys challenge this month - they have a moodboard challenge.
