City Sidewalks Christmas Layout

 

Played along with the A Cherry On Top Becky Fleck Sketch #361 today and really loved everything about it! These are old papers!! Pink Paislee City Sidewalks collection: Park Place and Santa's Workshop pattern papers; Ephemera; and Parcel Tags. This my husband and my girlfriend visiting a cute city called Winter Garden, FL for their Light Up Christmas night.  I used several fibers for texture and added 3D foam for dimension as well. I loved the bow ribbon and used only one from the ribbon. The "twine" is a thick piece from Jolee's, and the red velvet is from May Arts. One piece of red bling from Queen & Co. The Title is the packaging for the products fussy cut out, "City Sidewalks"

The last pic on the right is of Lee Ann and I eating out in Inverness at Stumpknockers which is a fabulous restaurant that I highly recommend!!

Echo Park Bark "Poodle Love" Layout

January 2023, my husband and I attended a AKC Dog Show in Brooksville, FL. This is not my puppy!! It is a fabulously sweet toy poodle from Puerto Rico that has now achieved its championship as of this date. I had the privilege of helping her trainer after this puppy had finished for the day. She was so adorable. We have not gotten another dog but would have loved to take this one home with us! So well behaved and beautiful too! We had a wonderful day watching the numerous shows and got to meet and talk to a fantastic  

I used the layout below, from Sandi0805 on A Cherry On Top Website, to scraplift it and play along with her challenge, of 2, 4, 6, 8. Using Echo Park Bark collection these papers were cut accordingly. On my layout, there are 2 frames, 4 long banners across both pages, 6 photos, and 8 banners on the UL corner. The Poodle foam sticker on the right page on the photo frame is from Simple Stories Pet Shoppe Dog stickers and is of course, a poodle as well as the foam sticker saying "puppy love" and the paw. The poodle head on the left page by those was fussy cut from a pattern paper I had in my stash. Not sure what paper company it was  from.

Yes, she tends to have fussy cutting but I'm game for it. Hope this helps you and she also attends the Scrapbook and Stamp Expos in Orlando, FL. She will be having a crop at a nearby hotel this year, 2024 so check it out!! Scraptique Events Her FB page has more about all of the crops and such because she has them in Estero/Ft.Myers, FL, Deerfield Beach, FL, Orlando, FL, Buffalo, NY, and Michigan has been added.

January Guest Designing for Word Art Wednesday

 I am Guest Designing with Word Art Wednesday for January 2024! I love it and there is no way I am not starting the New Year without thanking Karen Letchworth for having me and hosting this fabulous blog that has such wonderful inspiration and if you are the lucky one, even a prize! 

This first Wednesday of 2024's verse: 

                               (You can use it but is not required)

                       This week's prize is from Lawn Fawn for $25

For this card, I used the Altenew Enchanted Mirror die and cut it with my Spellbinders Platinum 6 with the mirror gold cardstock. It cut like a dream! And the Altenew Rose Flurries die set were cut using 4 shades of "flamingo" pinks I just love! The leaf was the largest in the set and really added depth to the card. And of course, it isn't finished until I add some bling. The smaller was Hero Arts, and the larger, Queen & Co. I chose to use these products because I am trying to use all of my NEW supplies before pulling out old favorites! Enjoy and wishing everyone, a Happy New Year!
