Shine by Ladybird

This weekend, we picked apples. I love this tradition in our family. We often do it later in the year, but we have a September month full of activities this year, so we decided to go earlier. This picture is not a picture of this year. I took the time to have a look at the pictures from previous year and I found this one. I found the colors perfects for the Fortune Teller Paper Collection of 7 Dots Studio. 

I also love the leaves chipboards from Um Wow Studio, they are so perfect for every occasion!
Did you notice I used theDahlia Stencil? I love the effect and I am quite sure it's not the last time I'll use it!

 

Here are the products I used:

Home Grown MASH

Sequin Confetti

Dahlia Stencil

Esprit Campagne by Ladybird

 

Today, I am here to share a Spring/Summer layout.
I tend to be quite reluctant to use flowers for my boys layout, but each time I do it, I wonder why I don't do it more often! Flowers and delicate colours have also their place on little boy layouts.

 I am in love with this flair, it's so... beautiful!

 And the arrow confetti are perfect to add some dynamism to the layout!

 For this page, I used:

Arrow Confetti

Daisy

Wild Flowers Set

And: Crate Paper + October Afternoon papers, Pink Paislee, Basic Grey and MME products.

Petit modèle by Ladybird

Today is my first blog post as creative team member for UmWowStudio!

I've decided to show you a sunny layout to warm up your day,
if you live like me in a cold part of the world! :)

 I added a coloured paper under the pocket chip to add dimension.

 

 

And don't hesitate to cut the chipboards to adapt them for your needs. This is really easy to do.
See here as I cut a leaf stem.

And the result on my page...

The products I used:

Today Chevrons Pocket Chip

Leaf Stems

 Circle Confetti

Celebrate Hashtag Banners

Line of Chevrons Mask

Wild Flowers Set of Flairs

Other supplies:

Papers: Crate Paper, Bella Boulevard
Letters: American Craft

Ink: Dylusions

Have a great day!

A Spoooooky floral spray!

Today I'm combining two blog hops! DUN DUN DUN!!!

So at the end be sure to pick which hop you're on and continue along the way :) My project today is a handmade floral spray. Making floral sprays is a pretty fun experience, but I'm always at a loss at the end of them on how anybody could ever make money doing it!! They're hard work and really take a toll on your hands.. all the twisting and pulling, the gripping and yada yada huh? 

Anyways! Here's my spoooooky floral spray:

Originally I sculpted the bats in Creative Paperclay®. To guarantee I'd always get the same shape I then molded them with Amazing Mold Putty and filled the molds four or five times with more Creative Paperclay®. They're painted with acrylic paint. 

The leaves are stamped with the script section of the Tree Writing Collage from VLVS! in black archival ink. They're distressed with Walnut Stain distress ink. 

Other supplies used include wire, glue and black floral tape.

Tag-a-licious - SSSnS

Here is another submission for the Simon Says Stamp and Show challenge -- the DT really has amazing work this week so be sure to check it out! Jury is still out on the new DT spots.. no rejection emails yet so I've got my fingers crossed.. good luck to all who applied!



I started with a manilla tag, black soot and barn door distress ink. I foamed the tag with barn door, and splattered with black soot. I then ran a permanent ink (Momento black tuxedo) over the edges and stamped with a Stampin' Up stamp that I got at a garage sale for ONE DOLLAR! (Normally this stamp goes for $22!) I walking stitched the lace which was folded over and secured it to create a flower. I glued a round button in the middle.. black and shiny. I picked through my feathers till I found the perfect additions! The dress form is actually my own design laser cut by a local cutter here in town. I heat embossed it with black soot and smooth embossing powder.. then dry embossed with a script folder. the pearls were just laying around here in my studio and the black twine/cord was given to me in a box of fabulousness from my grandmother!
