Wednesday Projects

Vivian cracked out all her Christmas stamps and allowed us to use them. Oh wow! Talk about major stamp buffet. But after conditioning the stamps, cleaning wasn't so bad after. The cards are MME, I received last Christmas. The papers used are by Making Memories.

I had fun using crackle paint on the bird, and embossing Joy in gold.

Crafty Secrets Christmas stamps have very fine detail.

a bit of lace and border punch.
another MME lay out. This is scrap lifted from Iris.

While I was sick

Being sick is pretty boring. All you do is blow your nose, hack with cough, watch endless series on tv. I ended up scrapping last night, but my deterrent was I did not want to clean up after. So I did it, Mommy Lil style. I cleaned as I went. I put away stuff after using them. And you know what, cleaning after was not bad at all.

Here are scraps from the Cosmo Cricket kit. I used a tim Holtz stamp, and used distress ink to stamp on a piece of gauze which I knotted. I also used some glimmer mist. And if you notice, all my lay outs lately have paint around the sides. It's because I've discovered the joys of crackle paint. I love how you just paint without cleaning the brushes after.
I also bought a bunch of 8 1/2 x 11 MM papers. Eh you know naman na I don't do lay outs of that size di ba? So after a month of sitting on the papers, here is what I was able to produce. I love the greens and the baby blues. It makes me think na hey, not all my lay outs have to be in pink para cutesy.

A frog in my throat

I am allergic to perfumes and strong scents. My throat gets scratchy, my nose is running. I have allergic cough. Not fun, I'm telling you. My hubby had to drive me around in his car, since I was driving the big car, and it's hard to get parking for that. Eh problem is, his car is heavily perfumed. And so, with this, I will start with my dvd marathon and rest. Scrapping resumes next week.

In the middle of the night.

I scrap during evening news. And then I watch na my trusty CSI series or more like listen to them. I usually sleep quite early around 8-9 I am usually in bed, because I wake up at midnight. If you didn't know by now, I am a vampire.

My dogs usually wake me up if they need a drink, or need to pee. I usually hunt the hubby and tell him to go home by this time when he is at work.

And then back to scrapping.

Here, I used an old Prima paper, and used some Bella Blvd papers. My butterfly is actually scraps from Cosmo Cricket. I hand cut and added some crackle paint for the body. The borders are Melody Ross and DCWV. Chipboard stickers are from Cosmo Cricket. I also added some die cuts from The Girls Paperie.
I cut up some Mariposa papers and glued them to DCWV the Neutral stack. Added some paper cut outs from Graphic 45. the Love is from Cosmo Cricket. The ticket is from Jenni Bowlin and I used my new 7 Gypsies stamp.
