Colorado Crafts Coffee ATC


 Loved playing with the Colorado Craft Company Coffee House Stamp and this challenge over on A Cherry On Top Website. The additional items I used are: The Crafter's Workshop's Poppy stencil paired with Picket Fence Golden Rose Paste. Further I sprayed with Ranger Evergreen Bough, and then inked the edges with Memento Tuxedo black that was being used for the cute mouse. The mouse was colored with Copics: E33,E35,W1,W3,C1,C3,0. It took time to dry between layers but was so fun making it!! The thick paper was Blue Fern Studios, Bird Waltz, Bird song.

Graphic 45 A Ladies Diary card


 Using the front page of the Graphic 45 A Ladies Diary collection I cut it down and added some other fussy cut another sheet with the clocks. The picture totally reminds me of the spirit of the woman this is for. I really hope it reminds her she is loved. The 100 is cut from Spellbinder's Filigree numbers by Becca Feeken cut from Bazzill Lakeshore cardstock. The Prima Flowers were added and then a few other details like the white filigree butterfly in my stash and the turquoise bling on the front and inside.

Graphic 45 Secret Garden on our back porch



 


Using this above sketch offered this "recipe" which is the March Double Layout challenge on A Cherry On Top. Just a note, it was not good for papers like mine that had writing or a certain direction. I made it work nonetheless. I hope you, too, will try it!! I actually made the photos AFTER making the layout because of the title.
