Wedding Album

Sundays are all about FOOTBALL - Yes, I'm a big football fan. If football is on - the TV better be tuned to it. But, I am working on a Wedding Album for a friend/client. She is a girl that is all about Simple Elegance So I thought of Anna Griffin Paper first. This whole book will have Anna Griffin paper in it, but not Anna Griffin pages. I love her style don't get me wrong, but two things
1) those pages take forever to make - I taught classes for Anna Griffin for a year. Two classes per month in the Anna Griffin Style... Amazing pages with Amazing ladies in my class - oh how I miss those ladies...
2) I did say SIMPLE. lol - but I really love this look also. It's clean and pretty....
And little info. I have been to meet and visit the studio and warehouse of Anna Griffin herself. It was amazing. I had a great time and Yes is has a wonderful southern style to her. Anna and I laugh that I don't know her but she know me.... LOL she always take time at CHA to visit with me.
CHA = Craft and Hobby Association - it the place where twice a year the new lines for all of the Crafting company show off.


So here is a two page spread I just finished today, while watch football.... LOL

Love the lace boarder.



I am so sorry, for some reason I can get them next two each other. But you get the idea. Love the lace I place along the boarders...

Well I hope all of you had a great weekend. I live on my husband schedule so today is really my Thursday.... So tomorrow is Friday.... YA...

Stop back by soon - lot of stuff come up. Oct 5th is the Glue Dots first DT project - Halloween Theme. Oct 7th I am doing a blog hop with Queen Kat Designs. Check out her stamps they are cute.

Julie and Julia

Today I was watch the movie "Julie and Julia" and was so inspired by Julie and her blog I want to start work on my just a little harder. I would like to make it more personal and still keep it crafty! So beside watching the movie today, it was National Card Making Day, so I had to make a card.






Supplies:

Crystal Lacquer

Hero Arts Stamp: Wine

Yellow Pattern Card stock: Old kit from Club Scrap

Purple Card stock – Unknown

Flowers: Prime

India Ink stamp Pad from Stewart Superior

White Card stock

Memories Chalk Ink “Faded Lavender”

Glue Dots®

Directions:

1) Stamp Wine Bottle Image onto white card stock with India Ink (HINT: India ink works well, because it’s will not bleed when you use the Crystal Lacquer).

2) Color in Wine bottle Image using Crystal Lacquer as desired. Set aside to dry (HINT: when color one color next to another color, I let the first color dry first. Example: on the wine bottle itself, I would color the cork, wine and left first, let dry a few minutes (it took a while for those color to be colored in, so about 5 – 7 minutes depend on your area.) After those color where dry then I color in the label and the bottle.

3) Once Crystal Lacquer is completely dry I used Memories Chalk Ink “Faded Lavender” around the edges to soften them some. Matte Image onto Purple card stock.

4) Score and fold card. Add matted Stamp Image to bottom right hand corner. Add Flowers using my Glue Dots

I have not been work with my Crystal Lacquer Color Set as much as I enjoy too. So with this card, I pull them out again. Don't you just love the 3-D look of the Lacquer? I hope you enjoy spend a few minutes here with me on my blog. Come back soon more about me and my crafts.
