I Actually DO Scrapbook!

Going back through my blog I see that I don’t really post my scrapbooking pages all that much.  I really do scrapbook quite often, but I never think about entering them into contests or anything AND I have been making more cards since I started blogging.

So, starting now I am going to make more of an effort to post my pages as well as my cards.  Today I will share something I finished very recently:

I am so excited by how this turned out.  The paper roses and the bronze-y looking ribbon flowers are handmade in an effort to look like Prima flowers.  The white and brown paper flowers actually ARE Prima so I am glad the two were able to blend so nicely.

P. S. I just found out that I’m a Guest DT for TOMIC next challenge!  I am so excited!  I will be posting that project soon.

Till then, keep it royal people, keep it royal!

Faux Prima Flowers!

I have two firsts to share with you tonight. Number one I am making my first post via blogger for Android! I know, I'm pretty cool, right?
Second, I have made my first attempt at creating faux Prima flowers.
I am honestly not sure how this post will look, but I'm going to check it immediately so, not to worry. :)
Hope you like them!

My first TOMIC entry: A Pirate’s Life for Me

If you are looking for the Guest DT project, go here.

Hello there! I am posting my first TOMIC entry and boy was it time-consuming to put one of these things together! But, I am very happy with the results!

Isn’t it so cute? I colored Tilda and Edwin with a lot of restraint in the hopes that I would get “higher” highlights. Here are some close-ups:

Tip for Top Tip: Use embossing folders and then cut them apart to create cool elements like water:

I am so happy with the way the this texture fade looks used for the ship deck that T&E are sitting on.

Sweet Princess Card.

I am super proud of this card.  I created it as part of two bids I am making for Design Team positions.  I am crossing my fingers that I make it on to one (both would be awesome too!).  The heart stickers, pink gems, “Princess” embellishment and the “make a WISH” stamp are all part of the EVER AFTER line from Pebbles Inc. (such cute, good-quality products from them) and the blond cutie there on the front is “60s Ivy” from Tickled Pink Stamps.

The photo shows it in the open position. I love how it turned out and I think it is one of my best ones yet!
