Hi friends! I am up on the {a flair for buttons} blog today with a layout that I made using flair from two different sets.  I also used a ton of Shimmerz products on this one!  Here is my layout:

I started by cutting the initials MN&TRH on my Silhouette Cameo -- using the Bebas font. The initials stand for Miles Nielsen and The Rusted Hearts -- one of our favorite bands (it's also on the hat my daughter is wearing in these photos). 

I applied gesso to the whole thing, and let it dry. Then I grabbed my Shimmerz Paints and got busy! I used My Bleeding Heart, Peachy Keen, Lil' Yellow School Bus, Well Blue Me Down and Oh Say Can You Sea (all Coloringz products). 

For this layout I used two pieces of flair from the Rock On 3 Flair set and one flair button from the Phrases 1 flair set. Here are a couple of close-ups:

I added some stars from Color Cast Designs, and a bunch of stitching to finish it off. I also made a video of my process, if that suits your fancy!

Did you know that if you buy Shimmerz Paints you can get a little something free?  Just mention my name in the comments:

Thanks for stopping by! See you again soon!

Hi friends! I'm here to share my most recent assignment for Hip Kit Club. This week it was all about love and hearts! I was able to work with the sketch this week too. Here is my take on the sketch using the February 2018 Hip Kit Club Kits.

And here is the sketch:

I used two photos instead of one, and the stars became hearts, but I think it still remains pretty true to the sketch. I think I used every kind of heart! It was kinda fun. Here are a few close ups:

I loved putting together this layout about the fun we had making Valentine's day slime for her friends.  I made a process video if that suits your fancy.

Thanks for stopping by! See you again soon!

HI friends! For this weeks Hip Kit Club assignment, I got to work with the awesome January 2018 kits and a great sketch by fellow DT member Irit. Here is my take on the sketch:

Here is the sketch:

And here are a few close ups:

I did a little fussy cutting for the hearts! I followed the sketch pretty much -- except more photos. :-)   I used my hexagon punch and grabbed some black and white, yellow, green, and peachy-pink papers. I love these colors together!

I stitched around some of the hexagons, and added some butterflies and hearts around the page.

I used a HKC exclusive card from the PL kit -- but I fussy cut the important parts (the pears and the tea). This helped make the card work -- even with three photos. I also made a process video if that suits your fancy!

Thanks for stopping by! See you again soon!
