Lasting Memories #213 Lists, Lists and More Lists

Welcome back! Sorry I have been MIA. My heart has had a ton of attitude and just walking across the street to get the mail require a 2 hour nap. I am on new medication so I am hoping things are going to take a turn for the better soon.

This week at Lasting Memories it' all about Lists. It doesn't need to be complicated. I just chose three descriptive sentences and used those for my list.

I am trying to get my niece's wedding album done. It's getting close:) (That's the reason there are no photos.) I kept the layout clean and simple so that the photos would be the highlight.

Looking forward to seeing your lists:)

You Fill My Days with Rainbows-Simon Says March 2014 Card Kit

To say I loved the Simon Says March Card Kit is an understatement. I loved the crayon rubber stamp. Lawn Fawn's Hello Sunshine 6x6 Paper Pad makes me drool! This is a great kit. And I have done several cards that will be featured in future posts.

There is a rainbow stencil in the kit. Despite using masking tape to hold it down, I found it still wanted to slip between the layers of the rainbow when I used a sponge dauber. I tried a Q-tip and it worked wonderful giving a kind of "edginess" to the layer of the rainbow. I then cut out the rainbow leaving a white edge to help separate from the background paper. I added some sequins from the kit and a Hero Arts Red Pearl Heart.

Inks: Hero Arts Red Royal,  Hero Arts Orange Soda, Hero Arts Lemon Yellow, Hero Arts Grass, Hero Arts Neon Blue
Love this kit!


Challenges:
Lauralcraft Dragonfly Challenges: " Up in the Air"
Fashionable Stamping Challenges: "Water Inspired"
Treasured Times: " Anything Goes with Layering "


Have a week filled with rainbows!

Bunny Love

One of my secret indulgences is buying card magazines from England. I love the fact that they often have something different than the US magazines and the fact they always have freebies. The only problem is that Joann's is the only place I have been able to find that sell them. And they come in about a month behind so sometimes the holiday stuff is a bit late, but I keep the magazine for the next year.

One of the magazines had a bunch of digi's already stamped on white cardstock. Unfortunately I don't remember which magazine it was because I grabbed the cards and put them in the pile for cards I was making for Operation Write Home.

Supplies:
Cardstock and Paper: Red Velvet Paper, Scraps

Dies: Spellbinders Small Scalloped Octognon

Copics: C1, C5, C3, YG17, RV04, RV02, Y13, G19, G7 Lipstick Spica, Blossom Spica

Doodlebug Bubblegum Flock (used on paws and ears)

Ribbon: Bobbin Ribbon

Ink: Colorbox Warm Red

Tip: In gluing anything to the red velvet paper I have found running the cardstock through Xyron works best.

 

Have a day filled with "Somebunnies" who love you!



Love Card

On occasion I like to buy Mystery Lot Boxes on EBay. You never know what you will find in there:) And I love the challenge of putting everything to good use. The bad part is that I can't tell you where to get the supplies, but hopefully it will inspire someone. I had the pink heart paper in my scraps so I covered a Hero Arts Folded Card with it. I then popped the tag on the card using Zots.

Have a day with love:)
