More creations with the gorgeous SunKissed collection

I am truly in love with this collection from Heartfelt Creations!!

These papers are all so lovely and easy to use. I decided that I needed to make a cigar box more beautiful by covering it with Heartfelt Creations goodness! I adhered the Sun Kissed paper to the box while it was closed, then used my Westcott craft knife to separate the paper so the box could open.
I then used the Sun kissed Fleur die to to create the lovely flowers.It cuts all 10 flowers at once, and that makes it super easy to create a bouquet of beautiful blooms!

CSI #68

This is my second week as a "Special investigator" over at Color Stories Inspiration , and this cool case file was our source of inspiration.
Case file #68!

To me this seemed like a very masculine color scheme , So I decided to do a page featuring my twin boys.
This day they had found my Id. badge from work and decided that they were super cool super spies. lol!! they were so cute and funny at this age!

I made the background with lots of paint using my Gelli plate screenprinting tool, which gave a colorful and dimensional background. Since it was so colorful,  I added a lots of the embellishments in black to ground it.
From the "Evidence"
I used:
Circles
dots
Stripes
Small brads
flowers
Stitching
paint
pen work
triangles
from the "Testimony" I documented something funny, and my journaling is written as 3important things, and 5 less important things. It is hidden on the tag tucked behind the right side of the photo, and reads:
"Important; 1.every moment with you
                   2.Watching you laugh and play
                    3.Finding joy in the little things that make you happy
Unimportant; 1. Laundry
                       2.Bills
                         3.Cooking dinner
                           4.housework
                             5.Everything except spending every minute of your childhood being amazed that you are both wise beyond your years and yet so free in finding whimsy in small everday things. I want you to stop growing so I can enjoy this a little longer, but I also cant wait to see the men you will become!"

thanks so much for looking!

Color stories inspiration case file #66

This is my first Case file as Special Investigator for CSI this month!

Here is Case file 66

 And here is my interpretation of it

I included the colors

Ridiculously Red

Good-Humored Gray

Silly Slate

Witty White

Blithe Black 

From the evidence I included the following

 

·      buttons

·      flair

·      something fuzzy

·      bow/ribbon

·      pocket

·      hearts

·      dog (or other pet) accent

·      plain white background

     drawing/doodling

From the Testimony I documents something funny and my journaling is hand written and tucked in a pocket behind the photo.

The journaling reads:

Just look at this face! isnt he just the cutest thing in the world! This cow was at the Amish farm in Lancaster Pennsylvania and we just fell in love with him. The Amish family thought we were very strange because we  were giving him a voice and making him say things like "got milk".

They made a point to tell us that he was for food. this made Megan manic and she insisted that we take him home! it was so hard for her to leave him there. But we did, but not before Megan hugged him and wished him a happy life!

Thank you so much for looking at my first case file as a special investigator! 

Your lovely comments make my day!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Apply  Piccolo Enamel/Embossing Powder Adhesive to the Circle Bezel  

 Sprinkle on  Vintage Black Embossing Powder

 Tap off excess onto a peice of scrap paper so that you can put it back in the jar easily

Emboss with a heat tool

Apply another layer of Vintage Black Embossing Powder

tap off the excess, and heat emboss. it will look something like this

Apply Piccolo Enamel/Embossing Powder Adhesive to the  Fairy & Dragon Wings Accents  and the
