Just for Earth Day

Love this video that the Close To My Heart Art Dept shared today xx Loving out watercolor paints.

I am so excited . . . .

I am so very, very excited to be able to share with you all that I will be teaching at Close To My Heart's Annual Convention for consultants in June. I am blessed to be able to do this and to love what I do. Whether I am teaching my classes, or at a CTMH event, I am passionate about the CTMH product and services and the support that CTMH gives us. There is still just over a week to join my team at the special reduced rate for April. Click on the link to join my team and the fun and creativity that we share xxx

Smile - Life in Pictures card

This card reminds me of Spring with its fresh colors brought to you courtesy of the Zoe Paper Pack :O)

Silver shimmer trim and Silver Sparkle Gems add Bling, and I used the Chevron Punch to create the 'film strip' out of Whisper Grey Cardstock. I added white cardstock behind it to really make the Chevron shapes stand out.

I dragged the Pear inked from top to bottom of the Pear cardstock piece to give it texture and stamped "Smile" in Black ink.

Hope you like it - Love Sara xxx

The is the Reel Life - Life in Pictures Stamp of the Month

This card just makes me smile.  It is such a happy card :O)

I used the Watercolor Painted and the widest brush in the paintbrush set to create the 'color wheel' behind the black ink stamped image (when the paint was dry of course haha) and again black ink on the camera from this months Stamp of the Month, and Pacifica for the "hello today" image.

Coral, purple and blue shimmer trim and gold sequins finish it off :O)

Hope you like it - Love Sara xxx

La Vie En Rose Scrapbook Layout with Life In Pictures

 I decided to make another layout featuring this months Stamp of the Month - Life in Pictures.

I can't tell you how much fun I am having with this set - I think I could make a new piece of artwork every day with it because it is so versatile.

On this layout everything is available La Vie En Rose Workshop on the Go, Poppy, Whisper and White Daisy Inks, Black Alcohol Marker, Clear Sparkles, Liquid Glass and until April 30th S1604 Aprils SOTM Life in Pictures. 

Even the Black Sparkle Flourishes are still available on my website under the Clearance section - they are down to $1.75 (from $4.95!!) Click on the red words - they will take you directly to that section. 

The only thing you can no longer order is again - one of my favorite sets -  Instant Memories stamp set with the film strip on it - sorry peeps :O(  

 

Here is a close up of the layout - lots of techniques on here:O)

Hope you love it as much as I do - Love Sara xxx
