LYB "Feels Like Home" Cycling Team!!

Hey Crafters!  I am so excited to reveal my layout I did as a Cycling Team Member for Little YellowBicycle.  I am so in love with LYB and was thrilled beyond belief when I received the announcement that I was picked for the “Feels Like Home” Cycling Team!!!  So with out further ado, here are my layouts:

There were so many yummy embellishments to use and I couldn’t decide which way I wanted to go.  But the “Fall” banner from the Fabric Favorites package was calling my name! 

For this layout I used Brenda's sketch and absolutely love it!!

Make a Wish Layout

Hello!! Today I am sharing with you a layout I created with the

Scrap Our Stash Sketch challenge:

Here's the sketch designed by Brenda:

The stash items was to use mists/inks/watercolors etc.  I used 2 brands of mists - Maya mist and Tattered Angels.  I really enjoyed created this layout particularly because I used different manufacturers and used up some stash! I used Bo Bunny, Pebbles and Ruby Rock-it papers and the embellishments are from Jenni Bowlin, Studio Calico, and American crafts, just to mentioned a few.  I also used Canvas star shapes and a tag from Linnie Blooms.

  You can find these shapes and more HERE.

Happy Scrappin'!

Hello Crafters! Today I'm sharing with you a Fall card I made with the Linnie Blooms Canvas Leaves.  I really wanted to use the cute canvas Owl from Linnie Blooms but the postal carrier still has it! lol However, I LOVE the canvas leaves and can't get enough of them so I wanted to showcase them on this card.

I didn't do anything fancy other than mix the different mist/inks to create the colors.  I started with a cat-eye ink pad (brown) and inked the edges. Then I used Maya mist (Lemon) with added that color to the leaves with a brush. Lastly, I took Tattered Angels mist (Tiger Lily)on the outer parts of the leaves. I used water to blend the mists together.

Make sure you check out Linnie Blooms store for awesome new Canvas Shapes!
