She Dreams

A Lay Out for the Scrap-Delight Sunday sketch challenge. 

Sunday challenge sketch

This photo was taken at the last design team meeting a few months ago.

I am so in love with this photo! I am not photogenic, so hate having to pose for photo's....Thank you Janine for taking such great photo's and not to forget, a thank you, to Christine for rubbing all those unwanted lines and extra coloring we were not born with away for me. xoxoxo

The title "SHE dreams" was made with the "Word play" from Tim Holtz. Cut x 2 from packing boxes and x 1 from Glitz Design paper. Do you see the wonderful Dylusions stamped leaves? Stamp them on the back side of card stock, then cut them out. Ball them up with the balling tool and attach with foam tape.

All products are listed below.

Close up of these wonderful dreamy flowers. Finished with a new product at scrapdelight. When I was there last time...as I was racing out the door...I asked what is this? The answer was don't know, take it and try it.....so I have , and I have even suprised my self. It was a jar of medium with a sparkle in it. You can also see it in the dolie masking. I used the dolie to spray glimmer mist. When dry I used the medium...very happy with the bling bling effect! I used what was left over to finish the edges of the flowers.....we all know that I DO NOT throw any thing away...another day when I was kind to the earth. This product is not on the site yet...as I have it here. It is from Viva and is a gel medium. It will be coming very soon. I shall be using it alot in my future work for sure!

Memory box is a must have to die for product! Here you can see how fine the fence is. So fine that the glossy ran off. Dang! Better luck next time. But it looks great if it is not a close up. I put the glossy on the gate as well. The tag was cut with the Tim Holtz tag die.

Yes you saw right. The dreams was an after thought. The LO was done, but I felt it was missing something....yes it was...DUSTY ATTIC.....came to the rescue! "dreams" was finished with gesso then dabbed in a puddle of glimmer mist...you know the ones I make on plastic. Add a few leaves cut from the brown flip side of the Glitz paper and I was done.

Don't we just love "Glitz" Design Paper.

The Melting Pot Workshop

"WINGS and HEARTS"

This is a Workshop given a while ago by Janine at Scrap-Delight. The canvas is to be seen in the store in real life...with Janine's sample.

This was a fun and informative workshop as you can see by the end results, we got to  play a lot. You know, the  stuff you want to do, but don't have the time to experiment and play. So it pays to book  play time for your self....you are worth it!...

A few details of this project. Lots of glimmer mist and flowers. The wings are made with a mold and UT. The color is pearl, which gives it a soft finish and I thought it did not need any thing more.

The cotton tape bow and flowers are  sprayed with Glimmer Mist. In places glitter added for that bling bling thing we all love..most of us that is. You can see the feather and the bees wax used with The Crafter's wWorkshop masks. Amazing what you can do with this product. There are no limits...only your own imagination....

Aren't these Martha Stewart butterfly punches a winner?... every time... and timeless. 

I have found them a great investment. I'm not yet board with them.

Just love all the texture,all that lace tape and flowers

I look back on this Work Shop with a lot of pleasure. Thanks Janine and Scrap-Delight.

I hope you all had a scrappy weekend...the weather here sure has been scrappy....I think our summer has been and gone!

Have a scrappy one...till next time....

Just Darling

I'm finally posting something new! I give the blame on Pinterest!....

But as per usual I've been working in the background on workshops. I've just been doing the Flower Power Workshop for Scrapdelight for their 4th Year Anniversary Weekend. It was total success! There was such demand for the Flower Workshop that we also made it available for the next day. So, there will be follow ups... Keep an eye out for the Power of Flowers!

"Just Darling" was made from my favorite manufacturer... What should it be?... Prima Marketing of course!

I'm sharing some close ups, but I won't be giving any details as this is a workshop that is fully booked out for September, 8th, at Scrapdelight. 

There is always a possibility of doing a repeat - workshop on demand. If there is any interest, please, contact Scrapdelight (Michelle). 

That's it for now, fellow scrappies!

Have a scrappy one!

hugs, Susan
