Copics ( R29,35, G02,05, E33,43, C5)

This card is also from School Days and again I used the alphabets for the background on a black card. Pencil and apples (I love apples) again used my copics to color (R27,29,35, G02,05, Y00,08,35, E33,43,57, R20, RV23,34)

I have been busy!!!

Boy, oh boy it has been awhile since I have posted, however I have been pretty busy. It has been gloomy here so I really haven't been able to get some pic's for ya. Until now so lets show some cards K

I used photo paper and I really loved how it turned out I didn't increase the ink volume but I like the soft look. The paper was so easy to work with as far as using the CB I'm just so very pleased with the results over all.

Here are some how have you been cards, it seems that we always can use these.

So here are my cards and I would love to hear what you think?
Have a wonderful day♥

Do you like the Grunge look?

(click to see larger view)

Cause if you do then this card you might like!

I'm sending this one to a lady and her Mom passed and she loves Tim Holtz so I thought I would try my best for the grunge look. These flowers are made out of a book. I just cut the pages out of the book and used my CB (cuddlebug) round scallop to cut the shape for the flower. I got the idea from Donna Salazar she has several videos that you can watch to get some ideas.

I also used different colors of spritz that I made up myself I got the idea from one of good blogger friends Nora @ Handmade & Heavenly by Nora she has the recipe on how to make them up. Wow, what a savings that is to!

I also used my Hubie's shaver to grunge up the edges, the papers are from Old World Stack by DCWV (I love that stack), lace, ribbon and rhinestones for embellishments.
So there you have it, what do ya think?

Have a great rest of the day and God Bless ya

Happy Sunday to everyone, I sure hope that your day has been enjoyable so far?
I made up this covered book for one of my friends so she can keep her bible notes together. It's pretty simple because it will be tucked into her bible so I didn't want to put flowers and such just to have them pop off.
So what do you think about this one?

The papers are from DCWV Linen Closet Stack pack and then I used my Xyron to adhere the paper to the cardboard. I used a spiraled 1 subject 70 sheet wide ruled book that fits in a notebook and you can tear out the pages. I got a lot of them last year for 15 cents a book so I have a few of them and didn't know what
to do with them, so I got this idea to cut them in half and make
up some of these books. OK, I thought
it was a pretty good idea anyways!

There you have it pretty simple, say have a blessed day and God Bless you♥

An altered book!

I hope that your Monday has been going wonderful for ya! I finally got my book done and I love it♥
I just love the vintage look of tea dye and ruffed up edges, of course we can't forget the ribbon that is old looking. I love to use the distress inks but this time I spritz it with some water to blend the colors of the distress inks after I was done. One I have never used more than one color of distress ink, this time I used most of the colors that I have. Then I spritz the water and that looked cool but then I added the spritz of Walnut Ink diluted with water, this is the part that I would like to use that undo button because to me it was just a bit to much. I also tried the Perfect Pearls with my stamped image now I have never used them before so I was impressed with the results. The little shimmer shine is just the perfect effect I wanted.

Anyways, here is my book and this one will go in my Bible for note...

Thanks for looking and your comment are welcomed♥
God Bless ya, until next time!
