I'm pretty sure this is at the top of NEED list! Unlike most I sketch everything scan then upload into illustrator. This would take out the scanning part :D

Continuing the Horse Adventure

My boys were lucky enough to also get to learn about the horses. Here's a layout with them paying attention :D I used:

Creative Imaginations - Wild Spirit by IOD

Core'dinations- Core Impressions

Helmar Tap Runner, ScrapDots and Crackle Medium on the title. To get this look I started out with an alpha that was kraft in color. I then used Jenni Bowlin Malted Milk Paint Dabber and Mellow Yellow Tattered Angels Glimmer Glaze. After this is dry add the Crackle Medium for the crackle look.

Check my gallery for close-ups.

~Wild~

When we went home to Nebraska two years ago, our boys wanted to see the cows and horses. These city kids got an eye full! Not only did they learn what "Come, Boss" meant, but they also got to see horses up close.

Products:

Creative Imaginations - Wild Spirit by IOD and Amanda Frame

Helmar Acid Free Glue (this glue goes on white then dries clear which is perfect for using with twine. Also Helmar Scrap Dots (which also dries clear and you can control the height of what you
"pop" of the page) and then Zap Dots as well.

Maya Road Banner, Tattered Angels- Moonlight, Kaiser- Pearls

Marine Week 2011

A couple pictures from Marine Week this year.

Birthday Gift Box

This gift box template that comes on the Crafty Secrets CD is the perfect size for a small card and a gift card! I also used music paper from the CD, Creative Scraps Wonderland Tea, Helmar ZapDots and Tape Runner and Crakle Medium along with Twine to close the lid.
