Pre K - January SwirlyHues Challenge

Hello,

Today I have another scrapbook LO.  This LO will be entered into the Swirlydoos January SwirlyHues Challenge.  This is a color and sketch challenge. I also had to use one of the Swirlydoos tutorials. 

I used a quite a few different tutorials to create this LO. I used the Image Transfer Tutorial to create my background and the photo. The punched circle photo matte was created using the Corner Punch Deco Circle Tutorial.

I use the Puffed Rose Flower Tutorial and the Poinsettia Flower Tutorial to create the flowers.

I wanted to keep this post short and sweet. Thank you for stopping by and I'll blog with you later. Have a Fabulous Day

Hugs,
Regina

Believe - December SwirlyHues

Hello Everyone,
I'm still working on my 2012 goals, and couple of my goals were to get caught up on my 2011 scrapbooking, and try new techniques. So, I spent today working on a layout for the December SwirlyHues Challenge at the Swirlydoos Blog.   This is a color and sketch challenge, and we have to use one of the technique tutorials on the site. I used the Paper Distressing tutorial found here.

 This challenge gave the opportunity to do a layout of my son's picture with Santa that was taken at school. So one layout down, and at least 10 more to go.

Here are the colors.

And here's the sketch.

I created the background  paper with a large jewel stamp by Stampendous, and then distressing the paper with Tim Holtz Distressing ink pad. All the papers were distressed with a pair of scissors. I made the poinsettias, trees and swirls with dies by Spellbinders.

Thank you for stopping by today. I'll see you again really soon, I'm hoping to get some more crafting done this week.

Have a fabulous day, and blog with you later.

Hugs,
Regina

My 2011 Goals Journal with Glass Flowers

Happy New Year Everyone,

Today I have a different type of project for you. Some of the ladies and I over at the Swirlydoos  site decided to create Journal to keep track of the goals we set this year. So I created this "Goals Journal" to track my progress.

One of my goals I set for myself, this year, is to try different techniques. Today I tried making Glass Flowers and using some distressing techniques. You can find the tutorial for the Glass Flowers here.

Here's a close up of the Glass Flowers.

Thank you for stopping by today.  I wish a Healthy, Happy, and Prosperous New Year to you and yours.

Have a Fabulous day, and I'll blog with you again soon.

Hugs,
Regina
