Watercoloring with real water colour paints and stamp resist technique

I haven't painted in a while and though that I should.  I stamped the butterflies with versa mark ink and then heat embossed them so that they would create a resist with the paints.  Not bad!  I still like the distressed ink techniques better but I wanted to test out different mediums!

Scrapbooking layout for mothers day!

My friend shown above has two little boys.  They are awesome!  My friend spends all her time scrapbooking their books but what about one for her? I decided to do one for mothers day because its very seldom that there are pictures with her and her kids.  I took the idea from nichol magouirk's layout http://www.nicholmagouirk.typepad.com/. I am quite please at the turn out!

Victoria Weekend!

Hi All,

I am soo happy to have had some time to do what I love! I also broke down and bought the big cricut as my small one wasn't allowing me to make bigger projects for my bulletin boards at school (Thanks Em for convincing me!). So much for report cards

which I was supposed to be doing.... opps.... Anyway, here are the lovely projects which I accomplished this weekend!

DISCLAIMER: ASHLEIGH, if you are reading this before your shower then please refrain from looking any further... I have some surprises which you will see next week in here!

Couple friendship/thank you cards for a rainy day!

This one is both embossed with the cuttlebug (which give the raised look at the bottom) and embossed with powder which is the black section. Once heated, the powder melts and give a raised finish!

A tag to go along with Ashleigh's gift!

Can you tell Ashleigh's colours are purple!?
