Monsters


This is a single page layout which I made which features the textured cardstock.
The background tire marks were made using one of the boys toy monster trucks - I ran the wheels of the toy over the desert sand ink and then ran the truck over the cardstock :O)

I trimmed a 12x12 piece of white textured cardstock to 8.5 x 11 and printed my photos onto it. I then mixed a tiny amount of desert sand re-inker into a little puddle of white paint & dry brushed this onto the photos.
The paint really high-lights the texture of the cardstock and gives it a really distressed look.
I used 3D foam tape under some of the letters which I had stamped and cut out. Heavy ink distressing on the journalling block & natural hemp & an outdoor denim button give a fun texture to it. Every other element on the page was heavily scissor distressed :O) Hope you like it x

Mud Puppies - 3x3 Mini Album


 
 
 
 
 
 
 
This is a mini album I made using the same 'mud puppies' photos featured on the double layout which I posted a few days ago. 
I used the 3x3 Mini album and used different Dimensional elements on the pages. I used liquid glass over letters and as rain on the first page.
I also added Twill ribbon and blue and green embroidery floss for texture - Hope you like it :O)

Happy Christmas Everyone

Just a quick  note as I sit here next to the Christmas Tree listening to Christmas Carols on the CD Player. It makes me realize just how blessed I am to have the life I have. A wonderful husband, 3 healthy children and a job which I LOVE. I am so lucky to have customers who have become such good friends and still stay in touch even though they are no longer in the USA and are scattered about the world.
I am so grateful for the friends who are also consultants who share a bond started though our love of CTMH but have become so much more.
I send you best wishes for a wonderful Christmas and hope you have a fabulous day wherever in the world you are.xx

Another fun 6x6 memory showcase workshop :O)





2 weeks ago, I taught another workshop for the 6x6 Memory Showcase. Machiko was kind enough to let us use her house and we had so much fun. Here you can see us all with the finished projects.
