Want2Scrap I Heart Nana Layout

I have a layout LIVE on the Want2Scrap© Blog - using one of the fabulous overlays - layouts come together so beautiful and we don't have to over think them  - something I tend to do - and it slows me down - but I am sure that would not happen to YOU!


This photo just makes me laugh - I was trying to photograph the layout flat and before I could click the camera - Phoebe, our pug, was 'all over it' - our animals just love being part of everything!


I would love you to pop over to the Want2Scrap© Blog  and check out my layout - and leave a comment over there letting me know what you think - you can find it HERE.

Thank you for your comments and all of the support you give me - you make blogging such an amazing place to be!! Your encouragement is such a blessing for me - it makes my day! God bless you!

Next the feather image has been stamped onto white cardstock and fussy cut/hand cut, sponged using Imagine Crafts 'featuring' Tsukineko Memento Luxe Pigment Ink in Rose Bud and Radiant Neon in Electric Yellow.  
The feather is popped up on Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L 3D Foam Squares for dimension.

Gold Majesty Circle

Hello Blog Friends - today I am sharing a card that is definitely 'pretty in pink!' As a first daughter I has so much pink around me I avoided it as I got older and actually didn't start liking it again until I had my first daughter - and now it is a regular 'visitor' on my projects.



The card base has been created using the Romantic Rectangles Two Spellbinders Nestabilities and it certainly lives up ti it's name - wouldn't you agree!?  The Authentique Paper has been adhered using Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L E-Z Adhesive Runner.



The Gold Majesty Circles has been cut/embossed using white card and the Grand Calibur Die Cutting and Embossing Machine and popped up on Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L 3D Foam Squares for dimension. The Die-cut has been sponged using Imagine Crafts 'featuring' Tsukineko Memento Luxe in Rose Bud.   This is followed by the Persian Accents Spellbinders® Shapeabilities® - cut/embossed in white cardstock and also popped up using 3D Foam Squares.  Finishing off with a white Mulberry Paper Rose.


This card is for the following challenges:
Digi Choosday Challenge - Lots of Layers
Party Time Tuesdays - Anything Goes
Mema's Challenge -  Anything Goes
2 Creative Chicks - Anything Goes
