Digital Scrapbooking ~ Nassau and Pink Flamingos?!!

Yes I know that Pink Flamingos and Nassau Bahamas don't really go hand in hand BUT since it's my page, I thought they would work just fine!!

I used the elements from Studio Gypsy Flirty Flamingo Mini ~ I love the colors and really fell in love with the flamingo ~ wanted to use it on a layout.

All the elements can be found at Studio Gypsy,  including the tag.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Day 144 Best Seller ~ Hybrid Card

Long time no post!!....You have to check out Day 144 at 365 cards - the challenge was "Best Seller" book cover and the picture posted is to show the cover "Summer at Tiffany"  - When I saw the book cover I see a New York street with old buildings and vintage cars and ...well the rest is history!!!  Seriously now, here is my card

This is a hybrid card, the card base is bazzil cardstock, bling and twine from my stash and the digital elements are from Studio Gypsy - Discretion....so....do you have a little black book??
Thanks for stopping by!
***oops! I guess I didn't read the challenge correctly - pick any bookcover you want....***

Something NEW...fun technique

I wanted to show you a card that I learned about from a class over at Jessica Sprague. The class was computer tricks for cards - well this image is a brush image by Lizzabeth, I printed it out on paper and transferred it to material using a product called gel medium - this was new to me but you can read about the product here It might sound like a lot of work but it was really fun to do - the medium is like glue - you paint some onto fabric, print your image and lay it face down on the fabric - leave it overnight, wet the fabric and rub off the paper then you can use this on a card to give it a real vintage feel.

I printed off some paper from Studio Gypsy Shrine Set to punch the circles out of - I also created the embellishment at the bottom, used some Tim Holtz distress ink to stamp the back of the fabric for some show through framed it up with some kraft paper and onto some brown bazzill card stock! 

Lots of steps but well worth the effort for a unique looking card ...the possibilities are endless!

Enjoy your day and thanks for stopping by!

Hybrid Card Challenge: Explode out of your head!!!

This card was made for a hybrid card challenge at Jessica Sprague - as I write this I'm thinking I really shouldn't be making cards since I was learning digital so I could work with my photos...ok so I took a detour and I'm onto cards..little steps, small cards - then bigger layouts right?!  OK...The entire top layer of this card is digital - All of the supplies with the exception of the image the girl is sitting on - are from my favourite creator Lisa aka Studio Gypsy
The digi images are a combo of Box Society, Boho Baby and Spunky Explosion
I started with a template from Day 3 of my class at JS and moved things around a bit - we had to add our own, I used some bling on the scrolls, some diamond glaze on the black rose on her blouse and made the ribbon flower - that was also part of lesson 3 at JS.
Thanks for stopping by - hope you liked the card!

My Daughters Wedding

My daughter Chantel got married on May 23rd - everything was beautiful but of course nothing was as beautiful as the bride herself!

I used a kit from Studio Gypsy - Contradiction; it is so beautiful, full of pretty flowers, whimiscal flowers, hearts and of course bling!...and more bling!!!

The lettering is Glassy Alpha by Linda Roos, I think its pretty cool!

I hope my pages will improve - keep watching!

Thanks so much for stopping by & have a great weekend!
