Day Trip To Boston

I thought I would post another layout for the Simon Says Stamp and Show challenge this week for background stamps. 

I used the same technique with my PTI chicken wire stamp in black over a white hexagon stencil effect with gesso. And I had so much fun making this layout with a 6x6 Basic Grey travel theme pad! 

This layout is also from our day trip, air miles run, to Boston. So strange now looking at these photos after the events of Boston last week. The restaurant where we ate dinner is right on the marathon finish line. Very eerie.

Here are a few close ups...

Glenelg

Well, the Simon Says Stamp challenge issued yesterday is for Travel/Cityscapes! If that doesn't have my name written all over it, I don't know what does! Perfect to get me back into posting more often. So I decided to link up this layout of our trip to Glenelg, just outside Adelaide.

Here's a few close ups...

I used a new-ish stencil with some texture effect plus some mists. 

Thanks for checking it out!

Harvard

So worst blogger ever is back with another post in the same week! 

Simon Says Stamp and Show is having a challenge this week for background stamps! I love using my PTI barnyard chicken wire stamp on my layout backgrounds, especially over top of a hexie stencil and gesso.

This is a layout of our day trip to Boston two summers ago. Lots of fun!

 Here you can see some close ups of the background...

WORST BLOGGER EVER......

I need to rename my blog to that title!!! It has been an insane few weeks. I thought I had better post something soon! 


The Simon Says Stamp challenge this week is for flowers! I thought I would link up this layout. 

I love the soft flowers on the MME background paper and I made this flower out of layers of different burlap.

 

Thanks for stopping by. I am going to try to be a better blogger!

Forever Family

Today I made a card for a dear friend. Her adoption of a special little boy has just become official! 

I thought it was perfect for the Moxie Fab World Emphasize the Negative challenge and the Passion for Papertrey negative die cut challenge.

Congrats Kristi!!! We are so thrilled for you and Dominic.
