Hello Beautiful - The Sampler

Hi everyone!  Today I wanted to share with you a project I made using this month's Home Sweet Home kit from the Sampler.  I have really been enjoying the wonderful textures and colors in this month's kit and think this might be my favorite project yet with this kit.

I am still learning about my light box, so forgive the funky shadows.  I think I may need more lights.  The three I have just don't seem to be enough and if I move them...well, you can see the funky glare coming from the left.  sigh....

I used a sketch from Page Drafts to help create this project.  If you haven't had a chance to check out their sketches, you totally should.

And speaking of sketches....You should definitely check out the sketch and card challenges over at the Sampler blog!  Lots of cool prizes to be won.

Hugs.

Taste of Fall - The Sampler

Good morning bloggers! Today I want to share with you another project using the September kit from The Sampler kit club.  This kit is so full of yummy goodies the projects keep coming.  This time some photos of dh and I at a wine tasting at one of our local wineries.  (I know the photo looks crooked....I was having camera issues).

 

I love all the textures in this kit. The super cute felts, the lovely laces, and of course the washi tape.  I couldn't resist using lots of stitching and a sketch from Page Maps.

The October Kit is just as gorgeous (probably my favorite yet) and is available in the store right now.  Grab yours before it's gone.  And don't forget about the sketch and card challenges going on now at The Sampler.  Lots of goodies to be won...no purchase necessary.

Hugs.

Come Away with the Sampler

Hi everyone! Today I wanted to share with you a project I made with the Flying High kit from The Sampler.  I love the hot air balloon paper in the kit and couldn't resist a little fussy cutting.

Seems my style may be changing....I seem to be doing a lot more of these simple layouts lately.  hmmmmmm

Well, don't forget about the August Sketch and Card Challenges, over on the Sampler blog there is still time to enter and you don't need to use the kit to play.  You could win a super cool goodie bag just for playing!

Hugs.

Feeling Crabby - The Sampler

Hi everyone!  Today I wanted to share with you a layout I made featuring the cutest little crab Phil and I saw while relaxing on the beach in Hawaii.  not sure what this little guy was up to, but he was just skittering all over the sand.

Of course I used my Sampler kit for this one.  I love the mix of patterns in this kit.  and the cute little cardstock borders......

 But, I think my favorite thing has got to be the mists.  Not only did I use them to color the resist alphabet

 But I also splattered them on my cardstock to add interest.

Don't forget that there are new sketch and card challenges up at The Sampler blog...You don't have to use the kit to win some great prizes.

Hugs.

Artist at Work - YMH

Hi everyone! Today I want to share with you a project I made with lots of yummy Prima goodies, as a matter of fact...everything on the page except my kraft cardstock is from Prima.   And yes, I made this while at the Prima NSD crop and all the Prima goodies came from the sharing table.

You may recognize the photo as it is one of Ainsley making Ruby Violet jewelry.   I started with a base of papers from the Recollections collection that I distressed with a fairly heavy hand and my Prima Distress Tool.  Then I layered on gorgeous blooms, laces, and bling.

I love all the different shades of colors that the Prima flowers offer...and all the gorgeous texture.  Definitely running low on my Prima alphabets as I have now begun flipping letters to make new.

Well, it is a busy day here today.  Off to get my hair cut.  Probably not a lot of time to play.  That said, I was able to finish up a kit from Hydrangea Hippo last night...so at lease I am getting caught up.  And I am really hoping for some quality play time over the long weekend.

Hugs.

Ugggh

Let's just say that this day has not started well. sigh  But, we are going to try and turn it around and share a two page layout I did for just myself!  What a change...huh!  lol

Ainsley on Easter...hunting and playing with eggs.  Using some of my older Prima goodies and a sketch from Pagemaps as well as some fabulous Pink Paislee wood alphas.

 I tore apart a single vine and added a few additional flowers.

And you know I can't resist a bit of paint splatter on my craft background.  hee hee

The trims came from the Hydrangea Hippo etsy shop.

Ok, well...would love to stay and chat, but....

Don't forget about the Sampler Blog Hop tomorrow!  Lots of great prizes to be won.

Hugs.
