Time of You & Me

 

Just a quick and easy layout for my anticipated reunion with my parents. Hurray! I used My Minds Eye paper for the entire layout. Amazing for me. 

The green torn paper is My Minds Eye - Lost & Found and the rest is My Minds Eye - Miss Caroline paper collection. The Chipboard banner is byMy Minds Eye - Follow Your Heart collection. The word "Time" is by EK Success. The metal bee accent was purchased on Ebay from China. The gray pearl and rhinestone accent is by Prima. I then used copper Stickles to accent empty areas.

I used my Dymo Label maker to spell "August, 2012 and of." The mushrooms are by the Shabby Chic Treasures by Prima. I used my Martha Stewart Monarch punch to cut the butterflies. The "cherish every moment transparency is from Making Memories. The "Flight and Air Mail" accent is from Girl Paperie Collection.

The "You & Me" title is from the Miss Caroline collection.

I accented the picture and note mat with a white doily. 

A Tim Holtz clip was placed on the cardboard mat to hold the paper where notes will go about the reunion. The card board mat was accented with antique white and gold metallic Folk Art Paint. Bakers Twin in Blue was added to accent future pictures and ran through a ribbon holder in silver. 

There is a secret tag for notes from Pink Paisley that slides in and out from behind the chipboard. I added a Petaloo - White Magnolia and Berries branch and added further accents with Prima - Northcountry  and Alla-Prima Roses. 

Thanks for peaking and I am happy to share with you. 

Hugs, Kiki

Story: Pappy and Me

This beautiful frames was made just in time for fathers day with the best daddy in the world in mind. The frame was purchased from Tuesday Morning. I painted the frame with Folk Art Metallic Paint in Green and Copper. I then sprinkled some Lindsey Stamp Gang powder and smooth spritz all over the frame. I then used the DCVW Tattered time paper to accent the frame and make such look old. 

The blue wheat and pearl sprays  draw you eye up to the measuring tape. Meanwhile, the flowers accent the crown and paper dominos. 

The word "Pappy" was made using letters from the Girl Paperie Kit. The "story" and metal frame comes from Tim Holtz. The "and me" was made using my Dymo label maker.

The bird, hidden in the right corner between the flowers, is also from the Tim Holtz alterations collection.

The bling pearl and crystal accent is from the Prima line. 

Hope you enjoy. Please feel free to comment or ask questions. 

Best, Kiki

Beautifully Giddy

 

This was a quick tag I made for someone who just needed a boost. So often we meet precious lives who just want to know we want to see them be successful.

 I used a large tag and embossed such using the Cuttlebug Script folder. Stickles were added to the script to create a highlight. I then highlighted the words with 3 different colors of Tim Holtz Distress Ink colors.  

I used the Tim Holtz Butterflying Bigz die to die cut the butterflies at the bottom of the tag. I used the I-rock tool to add crystals in selected places. 

The flowers are from Prima. 

The sprays were added because they were fun and added pazzaz. 

The paper is from Bo Bunny and the female image from Graphic 45. The small butterflies were cut using DCWV Cafe Mediterranean paper. 

The sticker is from (oops, I can't remember). 

Enjoy, Kiki

Time Flies Like Music (Layout 8 of 12)

 

Time Flies Like Music is really about me using Pink Paislee paper and my new markers. I just received some ShinHan Art markers from Korea and I am learning how to color.  YouTube serves great utility in learning how to blend colors. This is my first attempt with this Greeting Farm image. "Time Flies" wood tag, rhinestone bling, and flowers are by Prima.

 

The ribbon used is by American Crafts and tear drop pearls were used at the bottom to give visual interest.

 

Tim Holtz "Butterflies" Sizzix border dies was used to accent the side of the layout. I then added highlighted the image using a Tim Holtz stamp pad. Dew drops were added from Recollections were added for fun. 

Thanks for your time. Enjoy!

Trust Love (Layout 7 of 12)

This was a fun layout because I got to use some new scrapbook toys. One being the Prima Bicycle at the bottom of the layout. The second new item is the water pail and third a new embossing folder by Stampin-Up. I love that the folder that says "Love" is being held in place by some beautiful gray-brown lace trim and the pocket comes out so a picture can be matted to the green background. 

 Enjoy, Kiki

Friends Card

I thought it was a great day to make a card. I mostly used a My Minds Eye paper...with the exceptions of two small pieces of paper (light blue - DCWV and the one with the flowers (don't remember the name =( ). 

The "friends" embellishment is from Making Memories. A Martha Stewart punch was used on the edge of the yellow pooka dot paper. 

Flowers and leaves are Prima.

The sprays are beautiful and well made. *I'm not telling - hehe.

I used a spellbinder die to cut around the image. I then accented the cut with a Tim Holtz stamp pad ink. I highlighted the hair with Ranger Stickles.

I used Ranger Glossy Accents on her jacket, earrings and stitches on her hat. Brads were used on all four corners of the second matting. 

Thanks for taking time out of your day to look at the images. 

Hugs, Kiki

Copic Marker Storage - Shinhan Marker Storage

Hi everyone. I am really excited to show you my marker storage unit. Formally called "Copic Marker Retailor Storage". 

I saw this unit but few pictures existed showing a side view. 

There were also few pictures illustrating storage for other popular markers. 

 I decided to purchase the unit and see if my Shinhan Art Touch Markers would fit. 

THEY DO!!!!!

Dare I say, this is a picture of pure marker beauty.

And look, I am actually using my markers on this Greeting Farm Image. Hugs, Kiki
