TRDT~color challenge

hey bloggers,
i know its been 2 weeks since my last blog. things have been so busy here. my middle daughter, kiara, just joined the swim team (we had 3 days notice to sign up) and had her first meet already (she had 3 days of practice) but she did awesome. in her heat (race) she came in 3rd. which is pretty amazing. she has been practicing her little heart out this week tho. she is so committed she will even walk to practice alone. if you know her then you know she never goes anywhere alone. i am so proud of her.
anyways enough mommy bragging and onto my post i used the tsunami rose collection YESTERDAYS COMMODITIES (which you can find here  http://www.zibbet.com/tsunamirose/section/printable-paper-packs )to do this layout. This is me and my sister Pam in the tub when we were little. i am the older one. and i used the splish splash cart to cut out the bathtub.

TRDT~ sketch challenge

Hello my Peeps,
I got a little design team inspiration for you. another great kit from Daisy. Ephemeral Love Affair (available here: Tsunami Rose Designs Printable Paper packs- http://www.zibbet.com/tsunamirose/section/printable-paper-packs)  it truly is a cute kit.

 

this card is whats called a twisted easel card and is so easy to make, swear to you 2 score lines is all. you take a 6x12 piece of card stick score it on the 6 inch, then take one of the 6 inch squares and score it diagonally in half.  Then you just decorate. i like  to make my faceplate first, which is everything on the green cardstock. so its a 5 3/4 in square of green  then a 5 1/2 square of ELA then the border strips, with a bird cage cut from french manor with a bow, pearl strands and a pearl button on top. then the little merci'. then you glue the face plate to the bottom half of your diagonal square. which gives you the pop up. when you close it it all lays nice and flat for mailing. on the bottom is a 5 3/4 square of ELA with a half of another square  and then a line of pearl trim going down the center and then the stamp cut out with my 3 inch scallop circle punch, which acts like a stopper to keep the top in place.

TRDT altered tag

Hey bloggers, How are y'all doing? pretty good here. So who's into pink turquoise black and white? it's a color combo that i am so in love with right now. So that the colors i used to make my altered tag. and I love it. I will almost hate to put it into a card but i can always print out more papers and make another one. Get the Damask Madam papers over at the Zibbet shop: http://www.zibbet.com/tsunamirose/artwork?artworkId=1049572

For this tag I used so flat back self adhesive pearls, dcwv turquoise card stock, damask madam paper, fiskars butterfly punch, sheer turquoise ribbon, black ink, and a white flower. the tag was cut using plantain school book cart.

TRDT anything goes

I told you i would be back in a few days with another project and here it is. Once again i used the Tsunami Rose Damask Madam papers and altered a little trinket box. I am thinking I will keep all my belly button rings in it because i am gathering quite a collection of some really cute ones. but thats for another post.

for this box is used the Damask Madam papers, a ton of my favvie mod podge some pearls some cameo buttons i found at joanns (if you dont know check out the sewing section for some really cool ones) and my favorite part the feathers.
