Friends with Flair Friday

Hello there people!  It's FRIDAY and that means it's time for UNITY Friends with Flair!  And of course I'm at it again with another art journal page.  This time I'm sharing only one page but I am working on two pages I just didn't finish them.  I will share the 2nd page next week.

Anyhow, I decided to play with a new stencil I got from my LSS.  It's a Crafters Workshop Stencil by Balzer Designs.  What does it remind you of?

The very first thing I thought leaves!  So with that in mind and one of my Angie girls off i went.

Here is a quick slideshow showing my supplies and some steps.  Some photos do show the right page because I was intending to do a two page spread but didn't have time to finish it.

Here is my finished page:

Well that's all for now!

Thanks for stopping by!

Tag Time Thursday

Hi there!  Ok this week we had Card Frenzy Wednesday on Tuesday but did you see my sneak peek for Friday?

Well it's Thursday and it's time for Tag Time Thursday!  Today I am playing with some of my stamps from Sweet Stamp Shop.  They have super fun images and Nicole the owner is awesome.  I'm throwing my hat in the ring for their design team call, hey you never know!

My phone was charging while I was making this tag so I don't have step by step but here is the tag I made:

So I wish I had a picture of the background but I used Dylusions sprays along with some Crafters Workshop stencils.  The Sweet Stamp Shop sets I used are The Core of It and Packaged Pretty.

I stamped the sentiment from Packaged Pretty on vanilla cardstock, used a hole punch and then using Fired Brick and Honey distress inks I inked the circle.  I stamped the sentiment directly on the tag and placed the punched out version all inked up on top of that using dimensionals. I stamped the apple a few times on some Basic Grey cardstock and paper pieced the parts.  The bottom two are adhered to the tag and the one in the middle is up on dimensionals. Stickles were added for the stem, leaves and seeds. I distress the sides of the tag and inked it with black.  The "cord" I used for the hole of the tag is from Stampin Up.

Close ups:

I did manage to take a picture of the supplies I used but if you have any specific questions let me know!

That is all for today!

Thanks for stopping by!

It's Tuesday

Hey there!  It's Tuesday and normally time for some art journaling!  Today I have a sneak peek at my journal page for Friday's FWF and a card using Sweet Stamp Shop stamps for a challenge Nicole posted on their facebook page this morning.

Here is my Bright Lights card for the Sweet Stamp Shop FB challenge:

Here are the supplies I used:

I just went with a VERY simple card using my newest set from Sweet Stamp Shop called Cityscape.  I wanted to use my Hero Arts Neon inks but added in a distress yellow because I don't have yellow in the neon colors. This literally was a 10 minute card (probably less).  I just wanted to play along and use the new stamps!  This set is great and I can see playing around alot with it!  Perhaps for my art journal as well!

Now here is a sneaky peek at my art journal page that I will post this Friday!

Thanks for stopping by!

Till later!
