Ville de Saint Denis Layout

 

Hi Friends Today I'm sharing a Parisian inspired layout. I used Bird Waltz papers from Blue Fern Studios as my base.  I stenciled some light and fluffy texture paste and used Prima watercolors to create the rust and blue drips.  Chipboard and flowers were from my stash.  I also hand laid in some 4mm gold sequins and stamped some stitching from 49th's Gabby Stitched Set.  Let's have a look at a few closeups:

Hi Friends, Today I'm sharing a simple yet bold layout of my darling great grandbaby Aubrey Marie when she was about 2 months old.  Love this little smiley face to pieces!  I did some splatters in the background work, dusted the flowers with some white and magenta paint, and used a key to my heart embellishment given to me by my friend Laura.  Here's a few more close ups:



That's it for me today.  Enjoy a scrappy day! ~ Dawna

Sending Sunshine Spring Gazebo Card

 

Hi Friends, 

Today I'm sharing a pretty spring card I created using Heartfelt Creations 3D Large and Small Wild Roses stamps, dies and shaping mould. I also used Anna Griffin's gazebo die, brick embossing folder and sentiment stickers.  I absolutely love these flowers and they were very easy to make using the shaping mould.  They almost shape themselves, they are that easy to create!  Between the leaves, pink and lilac flowers, I used 10 different colored archival inks.  Then added some Dimond Crystal Glitter for petal sparkle and seed beads for the flower centers.  Let's take a closer look at these lovely flowers: 


Well that's it for me today.  I hope you enjoyed this lovely spring card!  Until next time, have a crafty day! ~ Dawna

Upcycled Biscotti Button Jars

Hi Friends 

Today I'm sharing this super easy upcycle project using old biscotti jars I found at my local thrift store.  When shopping for these make sure you pick up the ones with their plastic seals still in tack.  These are easily removed to add buttons inside the caps so you know what color buttons are being stored in each jar.  If you don't want to put buttons in the tops, you can easily spray ink color on cotton balls, let dry completely and stuff your lids with your preferred color buttons. 

I used a scrap of contract paper left over from lining my dresser to wrap the outside of the jars.  Added pearl trim around the top and bottom of the contact paper.  Then I added a small daisy trim about the tops, pink ribbon tied in a bow with a pretty Prima flower and some of Renea Bouquet's beautiful butterflies to finish it off.  Well that's it for me today, thanks for dropping by and having a peek! Craft happy! ~ Dawna 

Simple Mixed Media Scrapbook Layout

 


Hi Friends, Today I'm sharing a sweet and simple mixed media layout I did of my grand daughter this summer.  I love this picture of her, she's just the sweetest!  I used 49th & Market's Vintage Artistry Sage paper collection to create this layout.  Using a stencil and modeling past I laid down some texture and then added some soft watercolor to make the texture stand out.  Then I layered in some torn paper and created two flower clusters.  I added the simple dangle as a finishing touch.  Thanks so much for dropping by today and having a peek! Until next time, scrap happy! ~ Dawna
