Yard work

July 11, 2011

We are spending many an evening in the backyard. Tonight Nicholas helped me water all the plants. He followed wherever the hose went, he loves water.

Benjamin started soccer again tonight. Practice. Andrew is watching the home run derby. And if you can't tell... I am seriously addicted to the Hipstamatic app for iphone.

Poolside

Hanging out at the Alta pool today. Nicholas is enjoying the splash pad and the boys are tackling the high dive.

Back out west

It's great to be back in wide open spaces. Four hours to home!

Sketch challenge time over at @global_design_project! #gdp566 I love a sketch with lots of possibilities. This time I pulled out some of the new hot foil products and went with a pink-on-pink look using Bubble Bath cardstock, Light Pink Foil and Silver Opal foil. I’m using the reverse foil image from the Garden Silhouette Hot Foil Die with the Reverse Hot Foil Die. Big fan of this technique and really love not wasting foil. Main products used: • Framed & Fabulous Hot Foil Dies & stamp set • Garden Silhouette Hot Foil Die • Reverse Hot Foil Die • Light Pink & Silver Opal Foil • Bubble Bath cardstock #stampinup #cardmaker #papercrafting #bestwishes

Kinda fabulous? I’m not sure I laid the color down in the right order on these pumpkins but they still turned out cute. The stencils are called Painted Pumpkin Decorative Masks. Card created for #gdp565 #stampinup #cardmaker #cardmaking #paintedpumpkins

I'm loving the texture of this metallic gold finish in the Timeless Metallic papers. It looks like brushed metal and it looks fab cut out as the foliage for these pumpkins. This bundle is called Painted Pumpkins. Card created for @global_design_project #gdp565 color challenge: Metallics or "colors that look metallic". My Monday Montage friends and I are all sharing some new crafty ideas today.

Stamping a scene … I always marvel at how quickly a project can come together when stamping. Sometimes I like to stamp on wet paper as it can make the ink bleed and blur. For this card I built a collage scene with a bunch of stamps and layered with die cut shapes from the Queen Bee bundle. 🐝 #stampinup #cardmaker #cardmaking #cardmakingreels #gdp564
