"Salvaged" Layout

 

Hi Friends, Today I'm sharing a layout of my grandson, Cade and his new (to him) 1977 Chevy Camaro. Last week while Cade was here helping his grandpa with some much needed yard work, my husband happened to mention that the neighbor up the street was willing to part with the Camaro. So they both went and inquired about it and even though it wasn't up for sale, my grandson was so enthusiastic about the car, that our neighbor offered to sell it to him for a fraction of what it was really worth! Our neighbor was so impressed with Cade, that they made a deal on the spot. Turns out my grandson has been admiring this car, parked just up the street from us, for more than 6 years! Every time he came to visit, he and his big brother, Skyler would comment on it. Who knew? Needless to say, Cade couldn't get his money out of the bank fast enough! lol He was just floating on cloud nine the day he picked it up. It needs work, but mechanically it's quite sound. I'm so very happy for my grandson, and it felt so good seeing his dreams come true! These papers are from the Collateral Rust collection by Ciao Bella. Lets have a look at a few of the details:

Well that it for this post.  Thank you so much for dropping by and having a peek. Until next time, scrap happy! ~ Dawna 

"Love" Valentine Card

Hi Friends, Today I'm sharing a Valentine's card that I created for my dear husband.  The background has been dry embossed, the butterflies have been treated with Wink of Stella glitter pen so they sparkle in real life.  The Prima frame has been touched with vintage photo distress ink,  and the love chippie has been wet embossed.  That's all for this post, thanks so much for dropping by and having a peek! ~ Dawna 

Valentine Tag and Gatefold Shutter Card with Belly Band

 

Hi Friends, Today I'm sharing a oversized Valentine Tag and Shutter Card that I created for my friend Peggy G., in a swap we were recently partnered in.  I really loved the way the tag came out, especially the frame.  I sprayed it with Prima Color Bloom Peony spray, then used a white paint pen to highlight all the embossing.  The vintage cherub is from ReneaBoquetes.com and it's just perfect for a Valentines project.  Here's a close up of a few details:

I also made the flowers with Sizzix foam.  It's the first time I've use it and it was a lot of fun!  The flowers come out feeling so real to the touch and the roses on the Shutter Card are especially pretty.  The card is a standard gatefold with belly band, however, when you begin to open it, the "shutters" which conceal the sentiment open up to reveal your message. The dies for the shutter mechanism are from Anna Griffin.   I hope you enjoy this card, it was so fun to make!  

                                                   

That's all for this post.  I hope you enjoyed a wonderful Valentine's Day! ~ Dawna
