First up is a very special page. This is one of only a few pictures of my DD and her father’s mom in 1981. I sprayed white cardstock with Glimmer Mist and created the circle and the border which is punched with two different Kreaxions punches. I also inked the edges of white photo corners to make them pop more. The sketch is Lucy's February 4th Sketch from the MSW Sketch-a-Thon. I also combined it with a recipe challenge from JackieP at Sisterhood of Scrap.

Next up is a SUPER fun page I created for the My Scraps & More American Idol Search contest. We had to use a sketch provided and a Lady Antebellum song title. The pic is of my husband and two of my grandsons at the beach last summer. It's one of my all time fav pics!!! I also combined this with another challenge from Sisterhood of Scrap.
I used the sketch but altered it just a bit. I also tried a new technique – using embossing powder with Crystal Lacquer. (I had run out of puffy stuff and cotton would have been too much so I thought I’d try it.) Other than melting my picture a bit (which makes it look more watery) it worked great! And I have the puffy effect I was looking for. I created the circle using a Kreaxions Circle Cutter, the Kreaxions Positioning Parts and Kreaxions Punch #310. I'll be showing how to make this punched circle on a future Kreaxions post.

Next are two cards based on Lucy's sketches. First is card featuring a tag I made MANY years ago. You just never know when that stash might come in handy! It also covers KathiMarie's challenge to make something of your own rather than buying it.
Materials – Cardstock – Recollections; Glitter Paper – Reminisce; Corner Punch – Kreaxions #917 with Template C; Pen – Micron; Ink - Colorbox
And last but certainly not least is a SNEAK PEAK of what's to come on Monday!!! I FINALLY GET TO REVEAL the My Scraps & More Guest Designer projects I made!!! Here's a card I made with the leftovers from that kit... It's another of Lucy's FABULOUS sketches (February 9th). I also added in Karen's challenge to emboss something.
I used my Cricut to cut the heart and my Cuttlebug to emboss it. Then I went over it with some pearl Alcohol Ink and edged it with silver Alcohol Ink. The small heart and “Love” were from a RAK years ago. I just colored them with some Glimmer Mist and Alcohol Ink.
Materials – Cardstock – Bazzill, Recollections; Rhinestones – Unknown; Pen – Sakura Gel Roll; Glimmer Mist – Tattered Angels; Alcohol Inks – Ranger
I hope you've enjoyed my creations! I'm having SO much fun playing at these sites! So come along and join me! There's still plenty of time to win the fabulous prizes!
Happy Scrapping and Happy Punching!
